We knew it! We knew it! Italy’s Beltclic TRENTINO defends its Club World Title by beating Poland’s Belchatow in 4 sets. Trentino managed to handle the pressure and had more offensive options like Juantorena, Kaziyskiy and Stokr while Belchatow heavily relied on Wlazly since Kurek and Winiarski were not as effective.

PRESS QUOTE:
Paykan coach Peyman Akbari: Last year we finished fourth in this competition and this time we got bronze. Now we’ll go back to our country, play the national league, go for a win there to qualify for the next Asian Club Championships and if we win there, we’ll be back next year to make it to the final. Our team is gradually progressing but right now we’re much stronger than any other team in Asia, so if we want to step up even more, we need to play against European or Brazilian sides, in other words against the best teams in the world. I want to thank God for this victory and also my setter, who is the only player with real experience since he is very important in bringing everything together and giving the right confidence to his younger team-mates.
