Jastrzębski Węgiel officially became the champion of Poland this season. Wards of Marcelo Mendez beat the defending champion Grupa Azoty ZAKSY Kędzierzyn-Koźle in three matches. In the first meeting, volleyball players from Jastrzebie-Zdrój easily won with a score of 3:0 (25:20, 25:20 and 25:23).
The Orange started the second meeting with a defeat 24:26 in the first set, but in the next three they did not give the opponents a 3:1 chance (25:22, 25:15 and 25:19). The last match was a show of strength for Jastrzębski Węgiel who won 3-0 to 15, 16 and 13.
Tomas Fornal: Each of us is tired of talking
After the meeting, in an interview with Polsat Sport journalists, Tomas Fornal admitted that he and his colleagues have something to prove this year. “We were all annoyed by the talk that we couldn’t play with ZAKSA,” he said.
- When we started preparing for the final against ZAKSA, our team showed that everyone was on fire, we had no injuries or physical problems. It seems to me that during these three matches, none of the players had a weaker moment, each of us kept at an equal and high level. Even the one who came off the bench made a valuable substitution.
Tomas Fornal: This medal has a different taste than two years ago
It’s not over yet, because Jastrzębski Węgiel and ZAKSA will face each other in the Champions League final on May 20 in Turin. For Tomasz Fornal, a possible triumph in the final of this cup will be a dream come true.
- This gold medal tastes different from the one that was two years ago, because here you need to win one very important thing. There is a chance to make children’s dreams come true, and this can happen on May 20, he concluded.
