Cuneo - Verona 3:0 MVP: Mastrangelo
I read, Mastro played on reception, I want to see double block Volkov - Gigi and Gigi from pipe, he played from pipe today, I need to see it! ?
Nikolvo 7 aces, it was quite funny during 1 set 18:18, then I checked again and it was 23:18 and I wondered who has been on serve in Cuneo, it was quite obvious after i've seen statistics ?
I watched the match Trento - San Giustino.
Trentino controlled the match. Very good input Sokolov. It is a pity that he did not play in the basic composition. He'll be wasted on the reserve.
If you don't believe, here you have some photo's and maybe NightFox will make highlights from this match ;)
I would not worry that much about Sokolov, I bet he will be in first squad during WL and next season he will fight for real with Stokr for place in first squad in Trento.
and you have to consider that Parodi and also Wijsman count as italian players, and in Italy you can't have more than 4 (of 7, including the Libero) not-italian players on the court, so to use Galic they have to leave Volkov on the bench.. But it's also true that probabily is better having Gigi than Galic=) (also for the serve, the block...)
Now the surprise-effect is gone... Do you think their are going to experiment other options?
BTW, Verona didn't played a good match, in my opinion...
But Gigi and Volkov in first line as you say changing - great option, one of the best what Giuliani could do in this hard situation.
but I'm wondering how they're going to use Mastrangelo when/if Wijsman will play again... BTW, Giuliani is a genius!
Noticed that the second Libero Montagna was wearing the blue uniform like the others, so he was ready to be used in reception instead of Mastrangelo if necessary=)
Modena-Monza 3-0 (25-18; 29-27; 25-15)
Edit: sorry I hadn't noticed there's a different discussion for the 2nd quarterfinals
