The slogan of Akaa-Volley says: "Vahvalla kädellä ja suurella sydämellä" (by the strong hand and the big heart). This is something the players have shown to all of us specifically during the past week. In spite of the injuries of Sakari Mäkinen, one of the key players (still in hospital) of the team, Akaa-Volley has beaten TOTO Volley few days ago and today Kokkolan Tiikerit by 3-0.
Our players have now an excellent self confidence. And when our roster is so wide we have really tight moments in exercises: two strong group of six on the both sides of the net. The players have to show their best to earn a place in a starting six in any match, smiled the coach Olli Kunnari after the Tiikerit-match.
And really, the team made 58/+45 against Tiikerit which had 35/+2! When looking at the statistics of the individuals: Petteri Tyynismaa 11/+9, Sebastian Pozo Hernandez 11/+8, Niklas Seppänen 10/+9, Jaylen Jasper 9/+8, Antti Taponen 7/+5, Ville Kuukasjärvi 7/+4 and Matias Tihumäki 3/+2. Joel Andersson earned one more point in PROlibero contest.
Now, Akaa-Volley has one week break and will meet Savo Volley in Siilinjärvi on Saturday the 18th January.
