the opponent

From the Turkish derby, Vakifbank is the winner, and for the third time they will face Conegliano in a final. The two previous ones are both in the Champions League, the 2017 edition played at Palaverde (clearly won by the Turks 3-0) and the one last May which celebrated the first European triumph of the panthers. It ended in the tiebreak with the last point assigned by the videocheck requested by Daniele Santarelli. Five breathless sets were also needed in the two semifinals played at the Final Four of Champions 2018, with Vakif able to recover in the final, and at the 2019 World Cup, when Conegliano went up from 10-14, closing 23-21. Guidetti’s team won 3-0 against Fenerbahçe (25-19, 29-27, 25-23). In the first set, the speed and reactivity of the giallonere made a difference, while the gialloblù, with Unal in the direction of Naz, struggled to rebuild. Terzic put more order from the service, holding his head up to the point that closed the second set. The Vakif starts badly (0-3) but reacts with a partial 10-1, which directs the result according to the favor of the forecasts and contains the last reaction of the Vader. Compared to the Champions League final seven months ago, Vakif has changed only two elements of the basic sextet. There are no more Rasic and Ognjenovic, replaced by Ogbogu, arrived from Eczacibasi, and by Ozbay, setter of the Turkish national team. The number one danger is obviously called Isabelle Haak, on which most of the yellow and black attack is loaded. The Swede has the main blows in the service and attack, perhaps predictable in the direction, but not very contained due to the strength. The paths Gabi and Bartsch vary more, difficult to mark, if the panthers do not put adequate cover behind the wall. An eye should be put on the early days of the former Ogbogu, who plays “Folie”, but is less brilliant on the block. Different speech for Gunes, who occasionally attacks also from place 4. The left-handed Ozbay will have to limit the tense serve and the excellent vision of the game. –
