The mascot of the BR Volleys, a cute little Tiger, clapped his plush paws are so joyful in the hands of the Fans, as the Berlin volleyball players already German champion. Also between the heads of the journalists, the the decisive third quarter-final match of the Play-off series against Düren pursued almost as tense as the 4258 spectators in the Max-Schmeling-Halle, put Charly in his striped tiger mask, patting hair, hugged the body. What you are doing so as a mascot with a Surplus of boredom. The Volleys-players were a bit more under fire. 3:0 they won, according to records (25:22, 27:25, 25:15) and in the semi-finals of the German championship. The first game against the Alps volleys Haching will take place next Wednesday.

"Haching is playing a very athletic, experienced, and compact. This will be a different game than against Düren – but I am of the opinion that Haching is.“

With the Dürenern had the Berlin but especially in the third set, no more problems. "The game was tight and hotly contested, in the second sentence, we have cracked it," was Moritz Reichert, the outside attacker of the Volleys. In the second passage, there was – with the exception of Tiger Charly – no one in the hall, wandering aimlessly and joked. Much too thrilling this was to Happen. Similar to the first passage, the Volleys thanks to an excellent block-defense, they had won, they started well in the second well. But then the Dürener with sophistication came from and force, took advantage of their opportunities and led 4:6. According to a Berlin point (10:10) punched in the flap-like Tiger Charly to Hit, "Little bird fly", but it was the Dürener that flew effortlessly. To on 12:16 – then the final phase came. In this the Volleys-Block worked again, the advantage melted away. Bold, Benjamin Patch, Jeffrey Jendryk and colleagues were now to the point.

In the third set, had to oppose the guests, the master is hardly something

As Volleys to a controversial point at the net with 24:23 and the lead went, lost düren Sebastián Gevert the nerves. Angry, he stared at the direction of the referee and batted away a part of the foam protection, the network is attached. Loud whistles of the Berlin audience, a Yellow card and repair work followed. When everything was cleaned up and only the outrage over Geverts dropouts still stopped by and brought Patch and Nicolas Rossard also the second set for the Berlin-based, full pressure, and hungry to 27:25.

Play-off quarter-final against Düren, The BR Volleys and the old monkey fear

It should be the preliminary decision, because in the third set, the guests had to oppose the master, hardly anything. The Berliners much, have now succeeded in the demoralized Dürenern very little. Patch and co. conjured up on the plate, Tiger Charly posed for photos with the good humour of the rescue workers - and the hall Director played a party hit after the next. Reichert was allowed to, finally, transform the second match ball for 25:15. "Haching has a different game, but the intensity is similar," he said later, and looked determined. One suspects that they will remain hungry, the players of BR Volleys.
