Monza does a good job on blocking Leon
De Cecco is always like that. Once he finds a go-to person, he'll overuse it.
Plotnitskiy was also a main factor for the win in the tiebreak. His serve cause chaos in Perugia's reception and however great Leon is, the block was set up perfectly against him as De Cecco avoided Lanza and Atanasijevic during out of system moments.
They made it!
Monza is a great team. It's probably the fifth strongest club in Superlega on paper because their two OHs can rival even Trento's Kovacevic and Russell duo and they have a good opposite but only missing on Orduna because of the height.
I hope they win the european challenge cup if they're not able to take any of the domestic silverware. They have the quality and even Buchegger is still out. I wonder if he can still make it for this season? Monza would have two good opposites in their roster which can be scary for any team facing them for the coppa italia.
Leon was the reason I could never fully enjoy Zenit's game and I never got fond of the mechanical setting to him when it mattered the most. He was also the reason I called them Leonit Kazan 
The guy is insanely good, no question about that, but he made every teammate or tactic redundant. Sometimes it worked for Zenit and you could see their teamwork but I have an unpopular opinion that often Zenit were not the best team in the world but just had the best player in the world (Zenit were the best team last year, for instance, because Lube, although practically on par, lost everything they could have).
