Preview
Netherlands is the second best team after Poland in the group. They proved that with 3 wins and 1 defeat against Poland. The squad is composed by top quality players with outside spiker Nimir Abdel-Aziz as the best player. Yesterday, they rotate a lot against Denmark and lost a set, but this is the last match for them and I will want to finish the job as soon as possible. Macedonia had a day rest, but tomorrow will play the crucial match against Czech Republic for the 3rd place. The 3rd place is really important, because in the 1/8 finals will avoid the European and World champion Italy. Coach Milenkovski knows that Netherlands is a class above them and expect to rotate the team similar like in the last game against Poland, because the key players Ljaftov, Georgiev and Milev are over 33 years old. In the last edition of European championship, Netherlands took a clear win 3-0 with 135 points in total. The match will be played at 17:00 PM, and the stands will be half empty.
