On the 1st of march late evening we will know all participants of the Final Four Champions League tournament, to be held in term 17th – 18th of march in Atlas Arena Łódź. After the second playoff round the host team PGE Skra Bełchatów will be joined by three teams.
- In the two pairs Russian teams are the best in each one. Lokomotiw Nowosybirsk is better than Arkas Izmir, and Zenit Kazań is better than VfB Friedrichshafen. I have no idea about the result of the match of Italian teams - said Igor Prielożny, former coach of the men’s national team.
- For PGE Skra it would be better if Trentino lost. In the past, in different tournaments, the team won with the champion of Poland. It has definitely influenced on the mental approach of the team – finished Igor Prielożny.
