    Match Report

    Zenit SAINT PETERSBURG continue on the right track

    Article

    With normalcy being back in the Zenit Saint Petersburg (Jenia Grebennikov back to his usual role of libero) and counting Egor Kliuka, Victor Poletaev and Ivan Iakovlev, Zenit Saint Petersburg did not face any problems in their Tuesday battle in Pool D against the underdogs from Sport LISBOA e Benfica, outclassing them in three sets for 78 minutes. 

    While the hosts tried their best to keep up with the Russian giants’ rhythm on attack (36 to 40 winning spikes), the players of head coach Marcel Matz did not manage to find a proper answer to Zenit’s better performance on the block (nine to two) and at the serving line (five aces to two). 

    Fedor Voronkov finished as top scorer with 14 points to his name.

    “Benfica is a great team, it has a great history. It's not easy to play against them, but we made a great game with just a few mistakes.”

    Victor Poletaev
    Zenit player and MVP

    "We were very focused and concentrated. In the beginning of the game, Benfica were very emotional, they did a lot of mistakes there. Benfica is not only a Volleyball team, they have a great history, so for us, it was great to be here, and it gave us an extra motivation for this game."

    Tuomas Sammelvuo
    Zenit head coach

    "It was clear that the physical aspect made the difference today. They did very few mistakes - something that it’s not normal, even at this level. They caused us a lot of problems".

    Ivo Casas
    SL Benfica player

    "Our performance was not bad today, but they played better. They are very strong defensively and have a good team, with good players and great skills."

    Marcel Matz
    SL Benfica head coach
