ACH Volley Ljubljana to Romania for European quarter-finals

On Wednesday 19 January, at 18:00 local time (17:00 Slovenian time), ACH Volley Ljubljana will play the return match of the 1/8-final of the CEV Challenge Cup. In the first meeting last week, the Ljubljana players won 3:1 in a very attractive match and this time they need two sets to advance. 

Undaunted by the result of the first match, the Orange Dragons are looking for their 30th consecutive win of the season, which would be a milestone of its own. Coach Mladen Kašić and Alen Šket talked about their expectations ahead of the match.

Statement of ACH Volley Ljubljana coach Mladen Kašić: "In the first meeting Steaua proved to be an extremely high quality opponent, which will be even more dangerous on home court. We need to improve our attacking game and put pressure through the initial shots. I believe we will be able to advance to the quarter-finals."

ACH Volley Ljubljana's Alen Šket: "The key to victory will definitely be better play in attack, where we still have a lot of reserves from the first game. It will be definitely harder than it was in Ljubljana. I also believe that Steaua still has some reserves and can play even better. We need two sets and we have to do our best to win them and qualify for the next round."
