O_O!
This one wasn't Monza best day... They made many mistakes.
Bruno was great.
He said that it was difficult to him to do his job against Monza because they have a good block, and he also said that he likes using the MB for change-ball phase (is it right in english?).
I think he made a very good choice because Monza's MB were always ready to block Modena MB, so often they coudn't reach the wings in time and they leave Dennis or Modena OH with one blocker
I'll try to explain what I meant... in volleyball you have two phases, the break-point phase (when your own team is serving - we call it in that way also in italian), and the "change-ball" phase, when the other team is serving...
ps Michal Lasko was the second italian opposite (the first was Fei). For the WL I think he his going to be our first choice (also considering Parodi's injury... I heard that Berruto was thinking about using Savani as "false-opposite" with Parodi and Zaytsev as OH.
But Wijsmans back to play? Good, he need time now to play on high level, but at least he can play now and Peda too.
Nikolov played far better in the 1st match, I think. (considering that I didn't saw the first set and most part of the second).
But of course for him is hard to play too many sets in a row, because MB rest while the Libero takes their place on the backrow, in fact after the match he said that in the 3rd set (I think) Giuliani Chosen to let him rest and to give an opportunity to Wijsman, and in the 5th Mastro played as MB and Wijsman as OH as normal?
HeeelMooi, thanks, I meant this? I had no idea it is called side-out!
ps I read that Nikolov was the most constant of Cuneo's spikers, with 20 points in attack on 41, 1 mistake and yes, 10 blocked spikes. Plus 2 aces and 1 block.
come on Cuneo!!!!!! =) And good job for Trento too, of course, as always.
Silsley's reaction wasn't unexpected to me (but Macerata commetted too many mistakes, and that was quite unexpected). probably I'll prefer Macerata to join the semifinal, but better if tiredXD, so Cuneo'll have a better chance to get the final?
