Italy- Superlega 2018/2019

  • 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' reception avg % in his whole career is over 50%.

    They replace Russell with Lanza mainly becacuse of the number of forigners, I would say. Without Lanza, Podrascanin will definitely be benched.

  • Lube vs Trentino looks intense. Gonna watch this game.

  • Lube's reception was a solid system with Sanders and Jenia covering the court in last season. Now they're both gone. You can see Lube struggled with reception all the time in this season. Trentino started with a 6:2 lead in set 5, but their unforced errors eventually cost the game. A terrible loss.

  • Rumors about Lube changing the coach. Boban Kovac possibly replaces Medei.

    So what's next? Changing the sprots director or signing new players?

    I don't think so. If Lube suffers from several losses in a row, maybe it's time to fire Medei. It's still too early in this season.

  • I think today will be the last game of Medei.

    Lube needs to bench Simon ( shameful blocking performance. Today he can't even touch the ball) and Juantorena (humiliated at reception ,6 aces for Plotnytskyi in the first set, no attack, zero block or serve) as soon as possible.


    8 aces for Plotnytskyi so far . (We're only 5-2 in the second set). He is going to break the record

    Monza leads 1:0 now. The game is still on.

  • Now Lube had a nice run. Now they lead at 11:9 in set 2.

  • Monza could not nail it with a 19:16 lead in set 2. Now Lube tied the game 1:1. Lube's reception still sucks. But Juan played pretty solid on attacking in set 2. Monza's amazing aces are unsustainable with time passing by.

  • Lube started set 3 with a 7:3 lead.

  • The referee sucks too. An obvious over-net hit from Monza was ignored by him.

  • Monza 2:1 leads. Their serves tortured Lube's reception. Leal was off today.

    Maybe another 5 set game for Lube today?

  • When you are being humiliated by Ghafour and can't react , it means you don't care any more or you aren't physically enough to response.

    And this is all happening after humiliation by Perugia. I don't think they have spent any training session for receiving after this match.

  • Both Simon and Leal are on the bench in set 4. Juan is on fire.

    Now it's set 5.

  • Lube 15:13 Monza. Lube played ugly but won this game luckily. Monza's net touching fault at 12:10 is a turning point. Simon and Leal are still not integrated into Lube's system. Bruno's setting is not stable either. And with their shaky reception, it's a tough season for Lube.
