We have been working hard lately and are preparing for our matchup with VakıfBank coming up this weekend in the national league. This is our main goal for now. We are waiting for the draw on Friday to know the name of our next opponent in the playoffs," Merve Dalbeler Seniye, the libero for Fenerbahçe, said.Meanwhile, the head coach of Fenerbahçe Marcello Abbondanza also commented on the win, saying, "It's a good victory for us. The match was not that important since it was our last in the pool and we would finish first in the group anyway. However, the players who do not get a chance to play that often got an opportunity to take the court today. We showed some good things, especially when we fought back after trailing early in the sets. Now we will wait for the results from the draw."
