National Women's Volleyball Team Head Coach Santarelli Believes in a Good Atmosphere in the Final

National Women's Volleyball Team Head Coach Daniele Santarelli stated that there will be a very nice atmosphere in the final of the Trendyol 2026 CEV European Championship tomorrow.

Head coach Santarelli and national player Gizem Örge made statements at Sinan Erdem Sports Hall after the match in which they beat Serbia 3-0 in the semi-finals of the European Championship.

Daniele Santarelli stated that he was satisfied with the game played today and said, "I think we reflected everything we wanted on the field, especially in technical terms. We established a very good blocking defense system, we served very well and as a result, we played a very good game on the field. Definitely, the fans, my team, the federation and everyone deserved this victory. There was definitely a very nice atmosphere. I was looking forward to playing this match. I knew it would be a very nice atmosphere. I know there will be a good atmosphere here tomorrow for the final as well. We are very excited for tomorrow too." he said.

Noting that he did not have a preferred team in the final, Santarelli said, "I think Italy has a better chance. Because Poland has not been to the semi-finals for a long time. Italy has been playing here for a very long time. They are much more experienced. Frankly, it will be very enjoyable to go to the hotel and watch the match now." He commented:

Stating that they will do their best in the final, the Italian coach said, "We should enjoy the victories we have experienced. Because we cannot always win. I think we have done something very special with my team. I would definitely like to win another final and bring another cup to our museum. We are already working for this with the team. Whether we win or lose, this summer will be a very good summer for us. We won the Nations League. We were very happy in the period after the Nations League." he said.

National player Gizem Örge stated that they were happy with their performance and said:

"I am proud of the team. It was a match worthy of the semi-finals. I would like to thank our spectators very much. There were a few critical referee decisions. There were a few moments when we made such mistakes and the fans were a very good driving force there. Our spectators were very active today. We want to leave here with the cup together with the same energy tomorrow. The fans actually played the match with us today. That's why we feel very good when this happens. We play much more aggressively and motivated. That's why their support is very important to us. See you tomorrow with the same energy."
