Jan Strzelczyk Tournament 2011

  • Tours's lineup for the tournament:


    setters: Rafael Redwitz , Cyril Hominal
    opposites: David Konency , Adrien Prevel
    middle blockers: Petr Konecny, David Smith, Horacio d'Almeida
    outside hitters: Yosleider Cala, Bojidar Slavev, Milos Terzic
    liberos: Pasi Hyvarinen, Cyril Guittet


    Pasi Hyvarinen is not under contract with Tours, and still looking for a club. But since Alexis Gonzalez is currently with Argentina NT, he's going to replace him for the tournament.

  • Paul Lotman MVP... interesting.

    Well, Paul has a really good tournament. I guess, that he will replace Bojic, because he's showing great game. I must say, that whole team played well. Tichacek change their style a lot, because in last season we had Grozer and the others. Now we have Achrem, Lotman, Grozer and middle blockers. Especially middle blockers - I can't wait to see this cooperation between Lukas and Nowakowski. In today's match, with Tours, Lukas played a lot with Piotrek.
    But I don't really think, that they will be able to be a champion in this season.

  • Best MB- Nowakowski
    Best SK- Grozer
    Best S- Redwitz
    Best R- Gerardo

    Is the Best R from Cuba?

  • Any results, stats, what happened on that tournament?! :what:
    I think at least 4 teams will have chance to become champions in Polish Plus Liga this year

  • Paul Lotman MVP... interesting.

    Sounds... promising. I hope he'll show his best during this season.
