I said a long time ago Modena`s problem is in the middle ( u guys can go back and look my past posts just to see I`m not lying and just saying this now). All 3 LeRoux,Holt and Piano have been really weak and not reliable enough. Lucas last season scored more 20 points some games....LeRoux,Holt,Piano combined scores 10 points per match average.
In this match for example, Orduna did not use the MB much because setting for them is a waste of time, they never get the job done, and it has been like this all season, When Orduna does not use the MB as much is when Modena plays better. But of course you can`t if your MB`s just stand there and does not help.. No wondering why LeRroux might play in Korea next season.... .
I can't really judge how far Modena's MBs disappointed this year. Probably Modena's management hoped for more contribution/better performances too.
But generally i think, it is a bit unfair to compare them to the Lucas/Bruno combination. This duo is really unique in the world of Volleyball as they are used to play together since youth level. Establishing a Setter/MB understanding which comes close to this takes time and/or very highest individual class (e.g. William/Simon).
