Eltmann gives away victory and starts the new year with disappointment
The CERATONIA Volleys Eltmann volleyball team suffered a bitterly unnecessary defeat in the last game of 2024 in Kriftel. Despite a promising 2-0 lead and the chance to end the year with a win, they squandered the lead in the decisive tie-break. As in webecho-bamberg.de reported, the team under coach Marco Donat had to carry out a sobering analysis of their performance after the game.
The game started strongly for Eltmann, who won two sets in a row thanks to the support of their many fans. But after a dominant start, the team gradually sank into mistakes and misunderstandings. In the third set, Kriftel's coach brought his players back into the game with a tactical change. Eltmann's performance dropped noticeably from the middle of the third set, which the home team took full advantage of. “I have rarely experienced something so unnecessary and pointless,” said captain Engel, expressing his disappointment after the game volleyball.bayern documented. The Eltmanners can now not only be annoyed about the missed points, but also have to overtake Kriftel in the table, which secured second place.
Christmas break after the defeat
The confusion and displeasure over the early finish got the team thinking. Coach Donat and manager Felix Reschke made it clear that this defeat had to have consequences. While the players are now going on their Christmas break, the next difficult game is on January 11th against league leaders Gotha. “Of course it won’t be easy and there is no harder task than having to play against Gotha straight after Christmas,” says Captain Engel, looking back on the upcoming challenge.
