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?
Lisinac looks almost anorexic 
I think at this point even his GF Veljković has more muscle mass than he does.

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?
Both Simon and Leal are on the bench in set 4. Juan is on fire.
Now it's set 5.
Lube wins the tiebreak again because the opponant made too many errors
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.
Leal's 18% attacking percentage is not acceptable in this game. I'm glad he was benched for the last two sets. Leal is a big disappointment so far this season. His status was not even close to his status in Sada.
We're all talking about the big 4 four, but I gotta leave a comment regarding Rychlicki. Dude's playing superbly in his first season in Italy. He's really good!

FIPAV should be thanking Rychlicki that because he is doing well as an opposite, Ravenna is able to test young italian OHs in Superlega. 
Lavia didn't do well but he's still young. I wonder how far he will go as a player.
Too bad for Argenta but Rychlicki as an opposite seems more sturdy to me. Even if they can score the same or Rychlicki move back to 4, the former's a risk because of his injury proneness.
Ishikawa and Maruotti should be broken up. Both are better as supporting a big blocking and attacking outside hitter. It didn't work in Latina, and it is not working in Siena.
