ETIVAL ASRTT secured points in Austria

ETIVAL ASRTT emerged successfully in the second match of the Champions League Women against LINZ AG Froschberg in Austria. The French club secured a straight match victory.

Still recovering from an injury Sofia POLCANOVA fought hard against Marie MIGOT but lost in a closely contested match.

“Sofia is struggling to come back after a serious injury and I admire her courage. I hope she will make a full recovery soon ” said MIGOT.

Hana MATELOVA was absent from the French team but ETIVAL managed to secure a very important win.

“We didn’t expect a 3-0 victory against such a strong team. We beat them once two years ago with a 3-1 score but winning 3-0 now and doing it without Hana is a big surprise even for us ” said MIGOT. “Even now I can’t say how I beat POLCANOVA in the opening match. I was lucky to have the service at 5-5 in the decisive game. I used it but it was a very close and nervous game.”

MIGOT also had some internal struggles.

“Last week I lost to Singapore’s ZHENG Jian 9-11 in the last game and I think my mindset was absolutely wrong. I thought I wasn’t good enough to beat her. Now again that little voice came to me to warn me that Sofia is better but I gave my best to overcome it. I was fighting against that voice.”

With a 1-0 lead ETIVAL paved the path to success. Next in line to create an upset was SHAO Jieni.

“She had a very tough adversary very aggressive… SHAO was simply better tonight. Camelia played superbly against NOSKOVA so I can only say that we showed amazing teamwork. However this is only the beginning this is our first match and there is a long way to go.”

In their next match LINZ AG Froschberg will play against GRAND-QUEVILLY ALCL in France on November 21st. In their first match the French club recorded a 3-2 win.
