Mariusz Wlazly, captain of PGE Skra Belchatow: “We are happy with the victory especially against a tough rival whom we didn’t how would react and what to expect. It was a very tough match but we won it which is the most important thing.”

Mohamed Ellakany: “I am not going to repeat what my captain said. I am satisfied with our performance and we didn’t have luck in some crucial moments. We played today against a team with many professional players and we will continue battling hard.”

Jacek Nawrocki, coach of PGE Skra Belchatow: “First of all we won a very difficult match. The opponent team was a like a mystery for us. We know some of the players but not how the team would play. So we concentrated in our style of volleyball. It was a good game from the offensive point of view, one of those matches the fans enjoy a lot. I am happy that we won the key points in the first and third sets.”
