Italy- Superlega 2018/2019

    Unbeliveable. If the players are not intentionally playing bad to get rid of Medei ,then Lube is dead .Juantorena is playing in 0,5x0,5 cm place ,doens’t try to receive any serve or dig anything out of this space .😀😀 He is not moving but giving orders for others . If he thinks he is showing leadership with this meaningless direction orders, he is an idiot . Leal hasn’t done a good reception so far .No one is there for dig ,no one serving

    Nelli is doing a good job so far. I think he is affecting Lube with his block.


    If you can't attack then atleast block if you're an opposite.


    Lisinac and Giannelli are still having issues connecting. I really don't know what to say about this. It's very strange that two high level setter and mb is having this two stranger feeling after a month of playing together.

    Lube needs to work harder for better passing and better connection between setter and spiker. Otherwise, it's very difficult to kill the ball during first tempo.


    If EVERYBODY in the team wants to be the star, then the team will face problems!

    Probably the best Leal has played so far in that set.. passing is still so so though. Agree about Simon. They still need to do more work with him. I guess Leal and Simon unlike the others from world champs had a long time off this competitive level

    Thrice setting Lisinac in a row yet no kill? :sos:

    Can someone translate generally what the Lube coach keeps saying to them? I'm also interested in how the commentators are evaluating this game..

    Jenia's defense is not as great as before and Trento is wasting some chances given to them by Lube.


    The defense is remedied with Russell's return but the counter attack is still an issue if Kovacevic is not in front and sometimes on the right side and Nelli is on the left.

    Siena wasted their chances against Perugia. I'm not watching the game but that was so close in the third set.

    I can understand Leon but how can you let Kovacevic score 30+ points against you with mainly block-auts and tips? Every ball that touches Simon’s block is a point for Trento and still no no chance for Stankovic 🙄🙄.Is this all because for 2 or 3 fantasy points ?

    The fairplay point is actually an awesome piece. It prevents needless longer waiting for the video challenge to happen which is my current pet peeve in modern volleyball.

    I am not sure but why was there no violation called when Garderen substituted Nelli? Is it because Candellaro is inside the court and without Lisinac?

    Trento were winning but I think Lorenzetti made too many changes in the tiebreak that didn't make any sense.


    Kovacevic went out of gas in the tiebreak. The counter attack wasn't good. Lisinac and Giannelli not connecting at all didn't help the situation as if they're just playing blind mouse.


    I think Gianelli should've put more of his trust on Nelli to remedy some of the flaws.

    Lanza's attacking is pretty solid in this game, but he still struggled with his reception. In last 3 games in a row, Lanza's reception % is even lower than Leon. That's not a good sign. This season Perugia replaced Aaron Russell with Lanza to help the reception, given that Lanza's reception avg % in his whole career is over 50%.
