Everything we've done so far should just be an extra boost for what's to come,\" added Santarelli.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His \"panthers\" are also playing a tough semi-final series with Novara in the Italian championship, where they lead 1:0 after winning in five sets in the first match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Skandi\u0107i travels to the Asian part of Istanbul for a rematch with Fenerbah\u00e7e after a 3:0 victory at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\"It will be hell in Istanbul. If anyone thinks that Scandici has already finished his job, he is making the biggest mistake. All the players are aware of that. We know what kind of match awaits us in the 'Burhan Felek' hall, in front of a great and loud audience. Fenerbahce has the quality to turn the result around,\" warned Scandici coach Marko Gaspari.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Couples<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Wednesday<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Koneljano \u2013 Zeren Spor (20.30) \u2013 first match 3:0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rzeszow \u2013 Ezachibashi (20.30) \u2013 first match 1:3<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Thursday<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fenerbahce \u2013 Skandi\u0107i (3 p.m.) \u2013 first match 0:3<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">VakifBank \u2013 Vero Volej (6 p.m.) \u2013 first match 3:2<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Three head-to-head matches between Italian and Turkish teams will mark the quarterfinals of the Women's Volleyball Champions League.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":877776,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[18393,3314,28546,16732,19555,28544,18394,28545],"naslovna":[],"class_list":["post-942558","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sport","tag-ezacibasi","tag-fenerbahce","tag-koneljano","tag-liga-sampiona-za-odbojkasice","tag-skandici","tag-vekifbank","tag-vero-volej","tag-zesov"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gradski.me\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/942558","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gradski.me\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gradski.me\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gradski.me\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gradski.me\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=942558"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/gradski.me\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/942558\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":942559,"href":"https:\/\/gradski.me\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/942558\/revisions\/942559"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gradski.me\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/877776"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gradski.me\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=942558"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gradski.me\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=942558"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gradski.me\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=942558"},{"taxonomy":"naslovna","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gradski.me\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/naslovna?post=942558"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
