    next matches on 6th/7th October

    Ribnica KRALJEVO - Generali Haching UNTERHACHING


    0:3 – Setback against Kraljevo
    This is probably something what the players of Generali Haching didnt expect. In the first match of the saison the team of coach Paduretu lost clearly 0:3 (23:25, 23:25, 20:25) in the 1st round of the Challenge Cup in Kraljevo.


    Though the germans started well in the 1st set and were able to keep the level with Kraljevo, the team lost 23:25. The 2nd set looked better, the germans played more concentrated and were leading even 17:14 but Krajlevo was not just playing well but had also a great crowd behing them cheering loudly.
    The hosts fought in the defense and finally caught the germans and were able to win the 2nd set as well (23:25).
    After that the Unterhaching team couldnt add anything to its game and had to fight with a 2/3 points blacklog throughout the whole 3rd set...


    Paduretu was very unsatisfied especially with his blocks on the outside "very bad!". In the same time he was praising the Serbs "They played incredibly well in receiption and defense“


    Now Generali Haching has to win on Sunday, 7th October to reach the decisive Golden Set (till 15 point)

    is it possible that resovia would play against modena in one group/round ? how :D ?

    Rabotnichki is not a weak team but I am sure that the bronze medalist form Japan 2007 Niki Nikolov and Ivan Stanev will lead the team to the victory. :super: :win:

    Yeah, and do you know whether the match between them will be 1/8 final or 1/4, I think it's 1/8 final. And of you know where is the first match - in Poland or in Bulgaria?
