Προύσαλης: Έχουμε θέληση για επιτυχία

Για τέταρτη φορά στην καριέρα του ο Κώστας Προύσαλης θα λάβει μέρος σε τελική φάση του Ευρωπαϊκού Πρωταθλήματος. Ο 29χρονος διεθνής πασαδόρος, που αγωνίστηκε με τη «γαλανόλευκη» στις διοργανώσεις του 2003 στη Γερμανία, του 2005 στο Βελιγράδι και του 2007 στην Αγία Πετρούπολη, δηλώνει πεπεισμένος ότι το αντιπροσωπευτικό μας συγκρότημα έχει τη δυνατότητα να περάσει στην φάση των «12» του κορυφαίου ραντεβού της «Γηραιάς» ηπείρου.

«Στόχος μας είναι να περάσουμε στην επόμενη φάση από τον Γ’ όμιλο του Ευρωπαϊκού Πρωταθλήματος», τόνισε ο Κώστας Προύσαλης και πρόσθεσε: «Είναι κάτι το εφικτό, αρκεί βέβαια να αντιμετωπίσουμε την πρόκληση παιχνίδι με παιχνίδι. Όλα τα παιδιά αισιοδοξούμε ότι μπορούμε να κάνουμε μια αξιοπρεπή πορεία στο Ευρωβόλεϊ της Τουρκιάς, σαφώς καλύτερη από τις προηγούμενες διοργανώσεις που πήραμε μέρος».

Ο διεθνής πασαδόρος αναφέρθηκε στην προετοιμασία της Εθνικής ομάδας, αλλά και για τα δύο φιλικά που θα δώσει η «γαλανόλευκη» την προσεχή Πέμπτη και Παρασκευή στη Σερβία με το αντίστοιχο εθνικό συγκρότημα: «Υπάρχει ενθουσιασμός και όρεξη από όλους τους διεθνείς και γι’ αυτό και η προετοιμασία πάει πολύ καλά. Τα φιλικά με τη Σερβία θα μας βοηθήσουν να βρούμε ρυθμό».

Ο Προύσαλης έκανε λόγο και για την προετοιμασία των αντιπάλων της Εθνικής ομάδας στο Γ’ όμιλο (Ισπανία, Σλοβακία, Σλοβενία): «Οι άλλες ομάδες του ομίλου έχουν περισσότερα παιχνίδια στα πόδιά τους, καθώς προέρχονται από αγώνες πρόκρισης για το Παγκόσμιο Πρωτάθλημα, αλλά αυτό δεν μας πτοεί. Εμείς έχουμε όρεξη και ενθουσιασμό για διάκριση στο Ευρωπαϊκό Πρωτάθλημα της Τουρκίας και ίσως αυτό να μετράει περισσότερο».

Tickets for the matches are on sale also via Internet

Volleyball fans from all over Europe have got an additional chance to get their tickets for the upcoming CEV European Championships 2009 to be staged in Izmir and Istanbul next September 3-13, 2009. The local organizers, namely the Turkish Volleyball Federation, finalized an agreement along with Biletix for the online sale of entrance tickets for all matches, starting from the preliminaries up to the finals, and for both competition venues.
To buy their tickets fans simply have to surf to this link:
http://www.biletix.com/perfList.htm?id=620&locale=en&pst=EVENTGROUP and then sort out the dates of the matches they are planning to attend.
The local Organizing Committee would like to add some information about the general philosophy governing this ticketing campaign: fans will be simply buying their tickets and no plans of the competition halls are available there since seats are not numbered (apart from those reserved for the VIPs and the press), i.e. the people will be accommodated upon their arrival and those resuming first to the venue are likely to get the best seats.
This past weekend about 1,000 tickets were sold via Internet for the first competition day – featuring also an Opening Ceremony which promises to be very captivating and entertaining – in Izmir, so we kindly advise all European volleyball fans to have a quick look at this Internet resource and eventually buy their tickets in due time.
Some more details about the promotional activities accompanying the fine-tuning of the preparations for the European Championships will follow soon.

Japan ready to host Asian third round Pool H tournament

Japan is all set to host the Asian third-round Pool H qualifying tournament of the 2010 FIVB Men’s Volleyball World Championship from August 28-30.

Japan (9th in the world ranking) will compete against Korea (18th), Iran (24th), and Kazakhstan (30th) for two tickets to next year’s World Championship in Italy.

The four teams will play a round-robin format where the top two teams will join China and Australia, which qualified in Chengdu China earlier, as representatives of Asia.

Pool H is a very tough one for the four participating teams, with each participant having a decent shot at finishing in the top 2.
Kazakhstan earned their third-round berth after scrapping past Chinese Taipei to top Asian Pool F in Taipei. Iran finished first in Pool D, while Japan and Korea received byes directly to the third round.
The hosts are tipped as one of the favorites to advance, especially when historical matchups are concerned. At the 2007 Asian Volleyball Championship, Japan beat Korea 3-1, and at the qualification tournament for the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Japan grabbed another 3-1 victory over Korea.
Japan also holds the advantage over Iran, beating them 3-0 at the last Asian Senior Championship and winning 3-1 at the qualification tournament for the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
The last time Japan played Kazakhstan was at 15th Asian Games held in Doha, Qatar, where they won in straight sets.
Before the start of 2009 season, Tatsuya Ueta, Japan’s head coach, said “the tournament for the 2010 World Championship in Italy will be the most important event this season.” Japan’s ace spiker Yu Koshikawa also mentioned that his aim was to qualify.
After finishing the World League tournament, Japan had a camp in Hokkaido from August 1-12. Japan has been preparing for the tournament in Tokyo since August 17.
Korea is also a traditional powerhouse in Asia. Korea had better results than Japan at the 2008 Asian Cup, finishing second while Japan finished fourth. This year both Korea and Japan struggled at the World League, with Korea finishing 14th and Japan 15th among the 16 participating teams.
Since 1993, Korea has clinched three gold medals at the Asian Men’s Volleyball Championship, finishing in the top three four times (they finished fifth in 1997).
Iran is making impressive progress in recent years and may pose a big threat to Japan and Korea. They beat Japan and Korea in the Asian Cup to place the first. In the previous three Asian Men’s Volleyball Championships, Iran finished third, sixth and fifth. The Iranian team has worked very hard preparing for the third-round tournament.
