After a poor start to the season, Skra Belchatow is back on the winning track and has won the last two PlusLiga matches. The success may please fans and owners of the club, especially since the team has struggled with serious health problems. The details of the absence of several volleyball players were told in an interview with TVP Sport by the president of Skra.
Skra Belchatow opened the PlusLiga season on 2 October with a loss to Warta Zawiercie. Later, Joel Banks’ players returned to a victorious path, but five defeats in a row, including Barkom-Kazany Lviv and Slepsk Suwalki, seriously alarmed the fans of the team, which includes players with national team experience in its ranks.
Plus League. Skra Belchatow wins again
Skra performed better in the CEV Cup, where after defeating the French Chaumont VB 52 in two matches, they advanced to the 1/8 of the tournament. The team from Belchatov returned to performance in the courtyard and won the last two matches of the championship: with GKS Katowice and Cerny Radom.
Skra President Konrad Piechotsky told TVP Sport that the team’s victories are encouraging, especially in the context of facts that have not yet been disclosed by people associated with the club. – Three days before the meeting with the Radom players is a huge problem for the players. We have a virus. Four or five volleyball players did not participate in the training camp with us – he betrayed us.
Due to the aforementioned virus, Aleksander Atanasievich ended up in the hospital, while Filippo Lanza and Grzegorz Lamacz were unable to play in the match against black. “In light of these circumstances, these very valuable three points mean even more to us,” Piechotsky stressed.
Skra Belchatow will play against ZAKSA
In the next league match, Skra will play with ZAKSA Kendzezhin-Kozle, that is, with the defenders of the champion title. As Pehotsky noted, the winners of the previous PlusLiga draw are struggling because they did not find a successor to Kamil Semeniuk, and Norbert Huber was out of the squad for a long time due to injury.
The enemy has to deal with it. We will look at each other. I believe in PGE Skra Bełchatów and that we will add three more points – added.
