Overview
Spain, ranked no. 14 in Europe, play Turkey, no. 11, in Friday’s first match. Turkey will play with much confidence after they started their EuroVolley campaign with a surprise win over Tokyo 2020 Olympic silver medallists Russia. Both teams have a good routine from participating in the European Golden League this summer, with Spain finishing seventh and Turkey taking home the title for the second straight edition. We can expect a very close match since both teams are eager to qualify for the knockout phase.

Mert Matic“I think we were a bit tired, both physically and mentally, from yesterday’s match with Russia, which cost us so much energy. Two wins is obviously a great start to the competition. As for this game, after the first set, Spain raised the level of their performance and they put much pressure on us with their service, whilst our block did not work at all and we could not stop any of their attacks. We take this competition one match at a time – but our primary goal is to reach the quarterfinals.”
