VfB Friedrichshafen is impressively leading the way in 2018 CEV Champions League’s Pool B after five rounds of play. The team is unbeaten and has only lost 3 sets in the whole competition. Its latest win against Finland’s Ford Store Levoranta Sastamala drew an unusually praise from its head coach Vital Heynen, a known perfectionist in the volleyball world:
“There is no perfect game for a Volleyball coach, but the team was very close to perfection today. Sastamala spiked and spiked and we defended nearly every ball. I am very proud of the guys.”
Indeed, the team was, making quick work of its opponent beating it by scores of 25/15, 25/13, 25/12 in only 75 minuts of play. At the end, Friedrichshafen hit 61% as a team while holding Sastamala to 28%. Even the most demanding of volleyball coaches, a sport that is known for its crazy leaders (Nikolay Karpol and Bernadinho come to mind) would be extremely happy with a performance like that.
VfB Friedrichshafen now has won 26 matches in a row in the German Bundesliga, German Cup, German Supercup and Champions League.
