    Sokolov is always hit and miss. One game he will be unstoppable, another day he will miss everything. let's see how he will play tomorrow.


    And but but but but Zaytsev is not playing, it can't be sold out :rolll: :rolll: :rolll: :rolll: :rolll: :lol: :lol: You losers !!!! (especially gazzetta.it blog) :down: :down:
    Instead of talking about players who actually make the final-four, they even invite Zaytsev to write column. Of course it was horrible and he was wrong about Piacenza :lol: :lol:

  • I think Ivan needs to divorce his wife. His constant need for PR is already annoying. Isn't she his agent? Lol she's exhausting him. :call:

  • The key for a Trentino win is effective substitution.

  • Leroux is the worst server on the planet, why would u have him serving at the end of the tie break? No sense....


    I only watched the 5th set, but how long did this game last? 3 hours?

  • Congrats on Trentino winning. I know a champion setter like Giannelli should've been snatched by championless teams like Perugia. I would pay that much euro for him. :whistle:

    What an incredible match! Not perfect obviously, but so entertaining and tense and emotional!

  • Osmany serves :white:
    Trento never-give-up-attitude :white:


    About the referee (supposed) mistakes, the ball Urnaut saved with the foot and Lube complained to have touched the floor probably did touch the floor, but the action following was so amazing that I'm kinda glad the referee didn't noticed that :P (kidding)


    About the block touch, wasn't it Sokolov? He also is the only one that didn't cheer for the point right after it and I didn't saw him on camera saying he didn't touch him, unlike Stankovic and Kovar.

  • T 'was a good game for both teams.


    Civitanova is clearly superior in almost positions besides the setter but it is still baffles me that Trentino didn't make moves for transfer to cover up their hole in the clinical aspect of their swing hitters. It could've help them win the cup.

  • Very deserved victory by Lube. All the player played a wonderful match as single and overall they finally look as a real team, digging like hell!
    My 'instinct' MVP was Sokolov too, but thinking better about it almost every player could have been MVP.
