If the opponent wasn't a champion like Trentino, I was going to say the match was 'staged' to rescue Perugia.
I wonder if Trentino can play this bad intentionally 
Italy – Superlega Unipolsai 2016-2017

Yes, the worst Trento of the season maybe, but Perugia was far from its best as well. The worst Giannelli I ever saw. On the other side De Cecco not so brilliant. It was the first match I watched after long time, at least they won. Bad Russell, so so Zaytsev and Berger. Zaytsev spiking from 2 is something, Zaytsev spiking from 4 is domething different.
The only one who actually pleased me is Tosi. At least Bari isn't playing anymore.

Despite bad performance by Trento's spikers, some super fast sets by Giannelli are simply illogical
-
Technically I do agree that Perugia can do more, but the attitude imho was the right one.
For me the worst Giannelli is still the one vs Serbia in the WL semifinal :P, but I agree that this one wasn't his finest match (even if imho also the spikers are to blame...).
BTW, in the interview he said that he wasn't pleased by the lack of aggressiveness of Trento, but that their game was ok
I thought their game was awful xD -

Well, they definitely seem illogical when they don't work, but when they do...BTW, I'm always very curious to understand how much is Giannelli pushing and how much is Lorenzetti asking him to do so.
Today Lorenzetti snapped at Solé during a time out, even if I love Seba and the situation wasn't great I found the moment almost hilarious xD

Atanasijevic 16 points (68% in attack).
De Cecco only set the ball to the MBs 7 times through the whole game, but when you have Atanasijevic killing, u really dont have to go anywhere else.Stokr 12 points (50% in attack)

Thought Perugia won because of their service pressure and blocking. It was just a matter of time. Trento had to put into work to overcome that.

Also Berger`s serves destroyed Trentino in the 2nd set.
-
To me the match has been quite poor, too many mistakes from both sides and not so beautiful game. Congrats to Perugia, they're showing a good game with all the great players they have. Anyway, I still don't understand why Zaytsev wants to play as OH: he could be one of the best OPPs in the world as shown in Rio, while as OH he is just average!

Nice battle so far. Very good entertainment and some good Volleyball as well.
Modena takes the first set. -
Did anything happen to Atanasijevic or why Berger has to play opposite again ?
-
De Cecco: What's a pipe attack?!?
-

My guess is he hyperextended his knee or he got cramps. -
Great match by Russell in 4th set. In the end it was personal battle between russell and ngapeth and the american prevailed. I wonder how many sets perugia's middles got today? Don't remember many......
Now the fifth set
-
This is what I mean with Perugia having a weak OH bench.

0% in spiking the second set. From bad to worse in crucial matches...
-
I'm just gonna say that Perugia needs to either let off Dore or Velizar. They badly need another good OH who can play opp as well if they're planning to let go Velizar. Doesn't matter to be young as long as he comes cheap.
