Fenerbahce Universal Stambul won in the Final Four Women’s Champions League tournament, in Baku. The team defeated Dynamo Kazań, as well as RC Cannes, and repeated its success from the previous year.
- The strength of the international club volleyball female team goes to Bosporus. More often the rich Turkish clubs are composed of best names of volleyball players and coaches. The sponsors present their image through women’s volleyball, therefore there is a lot of money in the clubs and the success. The victories at the women’s Champions League and the Club World Championships were not accidental. We will have to wait a little bit longer to see further results. In the past years the team had its ups and downs – says former coach of the senior men’s national team, Ireneusz Mazur.
At the tournament in Baku, with Fenerbahce club we could see Lubow Sokołowa, and with Dynamo Kazań Jekatierina Gamowa. Both players will perform at the beginning of May in Ankara, during the European qualifications tournament to the Olympic Games in London. Russia will be one of the rivals of Poland at the Olympic tournament. – Sokołowa and Gamowa are the key players of the Russian national team. They have influence on the value of the national team. The value of the above mentioned players is hard to overestimate – adds Ireneusz Mazur.
