This is the first Champions League title after more than a decade for the Herzegovinian who was born in Trebinje.
I will say it in one word. Finally. Finally, after all these yearsI feel relieved. I always tried to help the team. I didn’t succeed until now, but I was patient and finally achieved what I wanted for so long.
VakıfBank made a sensational turn in the semi-finals, saving as many as four match points, and that match is still in the mind of the best Serbian volleyball player.
To be honest, I keep thinking about that game over and over again and I’m still trying to figure out how we won it. Really? I’ve never played a game like that in my lifebut that is the strength of our team – we never give up and believe until the very end. We knew we were playing against Eczacıbaşı today. They have been playing excellent volleyball for years. We knew it wouldn’t be easy, but we did a good jobshe said.
