We are going to play our best game
VakifBank head coach Giovanni Guidetti said, “After a long journey, we did our work here. We came here by playing three games in six days. We are fighting at a very intense pace but as VakifBank we are used to it. We work with the awareness of this. We are ready for the World Championship as a team. I am sure we will have one of our best tournaments here. There are strong teams in the tournament; we will not play easy matches here. But we are VakifBank and are aware of our strength. We are physically and mentally ready for the championship”.
We want to be the biggest for the third time
VakifBank Captain Melis Gurkaynak said, '' We came here after a very intense match program. We played matches in a row and completed them without loss. We started the season very well as a team. After the matches we won in the league and in Europe, we are now in China for the World Championship. As VakifBank, we want to be the biggest team in the world for the third time. As a team, we have completely concentrated on this. Chinese people like volleyball. We have a big audience here and we are very happy because of the interest shown to us.
