Jastrzebski Wengel is not without problems, but he won another Champions League match and can focus on playing in PlusLiga. After the match, the game of the Pole, who took second place, was appreciated by Tomasz Fornal, who ironically commented on the situation in which his team found itself.
Jastrzębski Węgiel lost to Cuprum Lubin in their last PlusLiga match, thus breaking their unbeaten streak. Marcelo Mendez’s side had a chance to catch up on Tuesday 29 November when they played away to VfB Friedrichshafen in the Champions League group stage.
Tomas Fornal rated the opponent
Although the hosts won the first game, the next three belonged to the runners-up Poles, who finally triumphed 3-1 for their third Champions League victory this year. Tomas Fornal assessed the mood of the opponents after the match. - The players from Friedrichshafen lined up and had a good match. I don’t want to take anything away from this team, there are a lot of good players, I played with some of them myself, but it seems to me that we allowed them a little, - he appreciated.
The owner admitted in an interview with the club’s media that in the second set, which was decided only after the game in favor, the game of Jastrzemski Wengel “didn’t go well”. “We won’t lie that it was a great game for us. We broke through, and then, I think, the Friedrichshafen team already deteriorated and started playing a little weaker, and we caught the wind in the sails, he continued.
An ironic remark by Tomasz Fornal
However, the representative of Poland does not lose hope that his team will return to the winning path and will make a difference in the fight for trophies. “We know what our goals are, what we can do and what we want to achieve. We can definitely play better than against Lubin or today. This season we have already shown a good level and we will definitely return to it. We will find a free day with a candle, we will work out and it will definitely be better, ”he said.
The mention of the search for a free day “with a candle” is not accidental, because volleyball players complain about a busy schedule from the very beginning of the season. With the expansion of PlusLiga games to 16 teams, Polish clubs have more matches to play than in previous years, and the teams playing in the Champions League have even less time to rest and calm training.
On Tuesday, Jastrzębski Węgiel played an away match in Germany, and on Saturday they will play in the league with Skra Bełchatów. Three days later, the Poles, who took second place, will meet with Cherny Radom.
