Allianz MTV Stuttgart Volleyball Team on the Verge of Winning German Championship with Saturday Showdown in Potsdam

The win against SC Potsdam on Wednesday evening made everyone’s eyes shine in the sold-out arena with 2,251 spectators. The Stuttgart fans were over the moon, the players were amazed at their own performance in the third game of the final series. Almost everything worked: powerful serves, very good block work and variable attacks via the well-disposed Britt Bongaerts. In addition, Krystal Rivers again delivered strongly with her powerful jumping attacks and her large shot repertoire (with 19 points top scorer of the game.).

Fourth game increases in Potsdam

“We have to do exactly the same thing again on Saturday. And then hopefully we’ll get the championship,” said Marie Schölzel after the victory in an interview with SWR Sport. The self-confidence could hardly be greater after the third final game. But how do you take this momentum into the fourth duel in Potsdam? “I think he’ll take care of himself,” said middle blocker Schölzel.

But: In the second game in Potsdam, Stuttgart did not perform optimally and lost the game 1:3. More than 2,000 people are expected in the hall in Potsdam for the fourth final game (Saturday, 5 p.m.), including at least 70 fans from Stuttgart.

Coach Tore Aleksandersen travels to Potsdam

Head coach Tore Aleksandersen, who was weakened by his cancer and the associated treatments and was not present in the second final game in Potsdam, is coming along this time. As in the past few weeks, he will probably not coach on the sidelines. As in the past, assistant coach Faruk Feray will take care of that. The Stuttgart team will definitely spend the night after the fourth final game in Potsdam, returning to Stuttgart on Sunday.
