Michał Winiarski created a monster. It was a film dream come true
At 0: 2 in sets in the Saturday semi -final, they did not give up. And eventually they won, defending match balls. Aluron CMC Warta Zawiercie was delighted again.
After less than an hour of playing at the Atlas Arena, during the “Polish” semi -final of the Champions League, JSW Jastrzębski Węgiel led 2: 0 in sets, winning the parties very confidently – 25:19 and 25:18. It seemed that Aluron CMC Warta Zawiercie for the third time in the 2024/25 season, he would lose a very important moment.
Thriller in Atlas Arena. Aluron CMC Warta Zawiercie has been successful
Coach Michał Winiarski, however, was not afraid to take risks. Karol Butryn appeared on the pitch, who was not to play in Łódź because of the injury. And actually, it was a poker play, looking what the attacker’s preparatory process looked like.
– It was a risk, because Karol really had two training units and not yet in such a full dimension as he always looked like. Here it was simply all in and it succeeded – admitted the coach of the runners -up of Poland after the semi -final.
So as you can see, briefly. Although Bartosz Kwolek was more optimistic about his teammate’s performance. The best scoring knights on the side of Jurassic (24 points) with a smile summed up at what moment he was before the semi -final of Butryn.
– I knew Karol would be useful. I watched him in training. It was, maybe not good, but he started jumping two days ago, so that I was sure he could do it. He has this character in itself somewhere hidden. Maybe you can’t see his face facial expressions, but he has a heart to fight and he certainly presented it – said “Kwool”.
In addition to Butryin, Patryk Łaba appeared on the pitch. Another of the non -obvious heroes, who, changing at Aaron Russell’s party, breathed an additional faith in the team. Exactly the same as he did during the semi -final series in PlusLiga, where the inhabitants of Zawiercie went out in the PGE Projekt Warsaw final.
– Certainly also (apart from the Empe dop. It must be clearly said that he came in fantastic and gave a lot to his team. I don’t know, I do not focus on who will play, whether it will be an ensing or butryn. It doesn’t matter to me. It seems to me that the most important in such matches that we focus on ourselves, not the opponent – said Tomasz Fornal, leader on the JSW JSW Jastrzębski Węgiel.
Winiarski coach created a monster. The band, which, even when it seems to be on its knees, can still return to high disposal. And what’s more, reverse the fate of matches at the highest rate in a film. Including on Saturday evening they won in Atlas Arena finally 3: 2, in a tie-break triumphing at a crazy ending 22:20.
What distribution of Sunday (i.e. May 18) fighting for medals? The beginning at 16:00 JSW Jastrzębski Węgiel and Turkish Halkbank Ankara will play for the bronze medal. At 20:00 Italian Sir Sicoma Monini Perugia versus Aluron CMC Warta Zawiercie. The matches will be shown on Polsat Sport 1, online on the Polsat Box Go platform.
Champions League: Final with the Polish team for the 5th time in a row. Will there be a trophy?
It is worth recalling that from 2021 there is always a Polish club in the final of the volleyball champions league. What’s more, two years ago (2023) in the game about the trophy in Turin, there was a Polish clash. ZAKSA Kędzierzyn-Koźle won 3: 2 with Jastrzębski Węgl. In the years 2021-23, Kędzierzyn gathered three titles of the best club team of the Old Continent.
The hawks do not have happiness, who twice had the opportunity to play the LM final and each time they had to get around the taste. In addition to the aforementioned defeat with ZAKSA, the Polish champions lost 0: 3 with Itas Trentino a year ago. Now they will play for brown discs, after defeat with Jurassic knights.
However, this does not change the fact that in recent years no other country can boast of such a series in the finalists in the most important international club competitions from the CEV stable. PlusLiga is undoubtedly at the forefront in the forefront in terms of European successes. Let’s add that the Challenge Cup in the 2024/25 season came to the cabinet of Bogdanka Luk Lublin, and in the CEV Cup final, Asseco Resovia Rzeszów played, ultimately not defending the title won a year earlier.
