I spoke
yeah it isn't easy for foreign setters and sometimes other positions in the Russian league. It is a strong league. I understand Alekno wanting to improve his team but to me it makes no sense to sign a setter now. Toniutti was his 4th choice I believe (after Ball, Micah, Bruninho). Mikhaylov is gaining shape to me, the last few games he has been looking sharp, against Dinamo in the last game his defense was on point. Kobzar isn't performing badly at all, like I said, the entire team was off in the beginning and now they are all finding form. Kobzar isn't doing Champions League games, I believe Zenit has a foreign setter just for those games, so he is basically doing the League and if Alekno chooses Toniutti, then Kobzar will be on the bench. Russia needs their young players to develop as well, so I hope he gets to play still.
As for Russia Cup, I am excited for it. It should be fun. It would be nice if another city than Belogorod can host it next time though.
I spoke with Micah yesterday to learn of why he did not choose Zenit. You can WATCH THE INTERVIEW HERE.

I got the chance to interview the setter for Kifisias, Chris Austin.
Interview With Chris Austin of Kifisias -
According to the italian media Modena has got an option to sign Taylor Sander from Brigham Young University.
I hope they won't, becuase he deserves to go where he can be a starter.
Do you have a link to this? I am a BYU alum and this has me interested.
