[Volley] Trusting, Bertrange offers a beautiful

Beaten 3-0 in the first leg of the championship and led two rounds to nothing by Stratusen on the return, the Bertrangeois managed to overthrow the table on Saturday to equalize in the series.

If there is one teaching to be drawn from this return round of the championship final, it is that volleyball is no exception to the rule, or rather to the famous saying: in sport, everything can go very quickly. Whether on one side or the other. The duel between the neighboring towns of Strassen and Bertrange is the perfect example. And for good reason: after having won the first round a week earlier on the 3-0 score, the Stratussenois, who led two rounds to nothing on Saturday in their lair, seemed to go to a fifth title of champion in a row, which would have enabled the VCS to become the only record holder of the greatest number of championships in the Cal Clausen (18).

It will not be, at least this time. The fault of Bertrangeois who, next to their pumps until then, will succeed in completely reverse the course of things to win at the end of the suspense (2-3), thus giving themselves the right to play the third and last match of the series at home. “It takes a lot of energy to fight such a battle with rhinestones. And I’m really proud that the team has managed to reverse the situation, ”savor Steve Weber.

And the captain of the volleyball Bertrange added: “During the first two sets, we really did not defend well and they succeeded everything they undertaken. But from the third, we started to defend better and this is very important to us. ” After having dominated the first round of the first round in 18 short minutes (25-15), the premises, carried by the Luxembourg International Matilde Da Luz, the precision and power of his compatriot Gajin, the Vista of the Brazilian Camargo or even the mischief of Iranian Arab (25-21).

“The Momentum has changed camps”

But, thereafter, the balance of power will be completely reversed. “The analysis is quite simple, notes the passer of the VC Strassen, Gilles Braas. We played super well during the first two sets, we served well and they had a lot of problems at the reception. We were strong in the block and in defense. And from the third, we had problems at the reception and they really served. Afterwards, it was difficult to open the game because they have a great block, they are very large. And the momentum changed camps. We will have to improve at the reception and be very mentally for match 3. We have a week to prepare. ”

If the VCS attacks the third round on the floor (8-5), visitors do not allow themselves to be set up on the display board. Better yet: in the wake of an increasingly efficient defense and a tuning for tuning for a tuning for the Belgian Cornil, the CANDIAN CUR or the Czech Kolacny, who take advantage of the funk caviars to investigate the winning points, they are delaying their delay. And even take the lead for the very first time (13-15). With the experience that characterizes him, the local captain Milosevic calls for “calm”. Feeling the wind turning or simply to stop the adversary’s enthusiasm, his trainer, Massimo Tarantini, decides to put his died of the game first.

But, despite a brief return of his men (16-17), he does not have the expected effect. Under the impetus of the untenable Cornil and Weber, the Bertrangeois continue to run in mind. The new blood injected by the rushing technician will not change anything: the protégés of Juan Pablo Stutz pocket the bet (23-25). Surfing on his good dynamic, Bertrange maintains the cadence in the fourth set, which he ends up winning fairly clearly (16-25), thus restoring the meters to zero. The decision was going to fall into the decisive round. And to this little game, Schubert and company will have the stronger nerves (11-15). From a raging smash, Kolacny will send everyone to play the support match on Saturday.
