Originally, Guilherme Voss was a bet for volleyball towers, when he went to find him at the University of Hawaii a year ago. A reasonable bet, with regard to the potential of the Brazilian, therefore trained at the US school and used to playing in front of very important crowds. But a bet all the same. And it is an understatement to say that he is won today: Guilherme Voss has established himself in the center, alongside Aracaju, by his game but also by his sense of combat which fits perfectly with the DNA of the TVB.
But he obviously wants more. For the team, with this title of champion of France which is and remains its objective, and which goes through a second success in the semi-finals against Montpellier, this Friday, May 2 as much as possible. But also personally. Effective in the field, Guilherme Voss is also in interview.
Between concentration and excitement, what feeling dominates a few hours before this awaited match?
“For such a match, both can go hand in hand, right?” I don’t think one prevents the other. The training was really good. Everyone plays very well, trains well, so I think it will be a very good match from us. »»
At the end of the first leg, we felt the happy team but without more effusion than that …
“Sometimes when you had to fight to win a match, you finish and you say to yourself: “Thank goodness, we did it.” But there, I do not think there was a single moment when we told ourselves that we risk losing. We really felt in control, we almost expected it when we won. Everything went as planned. »»
What can we expect now from this return match?
“Even if it was not Montpelier, it would be the same: nothing is ever done until the last set is finished. Montpellier will give everything, play at your best level. Even if there is a little less pressure after our victory, it should not be said that we have done the hardest because it is thinking that what comes is simpler than we risk letting opportunities pass. However, playing the third match there would not be comfortable at all. »»
