France take the lead of Pool D
In the clash of the titans of EuroVolleyM Pool D, France took a 3-1 win over Germany, coming close to securing the 1st place in the pool. Neither of the teams had lost a single set before coming to the court today.
Surprisingly, Germany's starting six did not include their top attackers Gyorgy Grözer, setter Zimmermann and team captain Christian Fromm. Nevertheless, the first set progressed without a significant advantage for either of the teams until 29-29. A brilliant substitution for team France then brought the set to a quick end for the set - Theo Faure entered the court for a service and scored two straight aces.
In the second set, Germany took off strong, while the Olympic champions were struggling to find their rhythm, falling especially short on reception (30%). Germany had no trouble winning the set 25-15.
France started to look like themselves again in the fourth set and got ahead at 16-11. Germany got closer, but Chinenyeze’s block put a 25-22 end to the set.
Both teams put up a stunning performance in defence, resulting in many amazing rallies in the fourth set. After a good fight, France managed to get ahead and win the set 25-22.
Linus Weber“It was the head coach’s decision to start with different players today as the level has been very equal between players during preparation. Today, it was such an honor to play against the Olympic champions on this level, for me it was incredible.”
Spiker of Germany
Jean Patry"It was the first game between two teams with the same level and it was a good fight. Germany played with their second team but they are also on a good level and we were mentally ready to play against Germany without Grozer and Fromm. We are a bit tired, so it was a little difficult, but we are happy we won 3-1 against a great team."
