The bottom line was that little things decided, according to the Slovenian, who after the national team’s first game in the Rieder Volleydome, which was filled with around 500 spectators, also gave praise – including to the UVC Ried attacker Niklas Etlinger, who was one of Austria’s best with 19 points . “He did a good job,” said Gacic.
“We are now under pressure”, ÖVV sports director Gottfried Rath-Zobernig already looked ahead to the next match against Finland in Tampere next Wednesday. The Scandinavians are considered favorites in the group of three. The pool first and the five best runners-up qualify for the finals in 2023. On August 14th there will be a second leg against the Finns, which will again take place in the Rieder Volleydome.
