Looks like Vakifbank will gonna be winning the grand slam champions this season.
-
Conegliano was doomed. Poor reception and horrible errors throughout the set #4
-
Unforced errors after unforced errors from Conegliano.
Vakifbank took the easy points with smiles
-
Plummer needs be benched right away.

I saw Indonesian women’s team went from 12-18 to 22-18 yesterday. And now Vakif has 7-0.
Two years ago, Italy Men's Superlega semi:
Modena 18:9 led but lost that set.
Then 23:17 led but lost another set.
-
My goodness. What's going on with Imoco?
-
I saw the set #5 is coming.
The set #4 could be blowout
-
Imoco is all about Egonu. That's why women volley is the different game from Men's volley.
In men's volley, no team could win the game by one star player.
-
Only Gabi can score in set #3 for Vakif. Both Haak and Bartsch's attack were missing.
Imoco is lucky to take set #3. Could be a game turning point.
-
The momentum was slowly shifted to Imoco in set #3

Best player of Lube: Rychlicki
Rychlicki's spike error at match point in CL semi was Perugia's mental trauma. They're still not recovered. LOL
-
Congrats to Lube! They are a better team in this series. IMHO, Simon is the MVP. When Simon is on the front row, he can easily draw attention of Perugia's block, which gives a lot of open opportunities for the teammates attacking at pos 4 and 2. Balaso played much better than Colaci on the contrary. DeCecco also outplayed Giannelli in this series.
Another disappointing season for Perugia, No one in Perugia played on their normal level in this series.
-
Perugia is struggling. Reception, pass, attack and block are all below the normal.
Simon, for sure, is the best MB this season, and still the best MB in the world.
-
Both Giannelli and Travica can be starting setter. I am curious why Grbic did not wanna try 2 for 2 subs.
Send Travica and Horst in for Giannelli and Rychlicki. At least it could change the rhythm.
-
Game #4
Rychlicki got blocked by DeCecco twice, ridiculous.
Giannelli should trust Anderson more.
-
Perugia 3:1 Lube in game #3.
Leon's finally back to his normal level with solid serve, reception and attack. Lube almost dragged the game into set #5.
Perugia needs Leon play like this in next 2 games (if Perugia wins game #4 at Lube's home game).
Kudos to Anderson. He's the most reliable attacker for Perugia in playoff even if he's 35 years old.
-
Lube 3:0 Perugia, only one game away from champion.
Perugia played like two teams in regular season and playoff. Their performance in playoff was blow their normal level.
The team lost confidence and momentum after they had a heart-breaking loss in CL semi.
Leon's knee injury made things even worse as Leon's attack and serve highly depend on his jump.
Another issue with Perugia is mental toughness. I'd been watching Perugia's games for more than 5 seasons. They choked many times at clutch times, even with a strong roster.
Perugia got top-class coach Grbic, top-class OH Leon and top-class setter Giannelli. Colaci is also a top-class libero although he's over the hill. Sole's a good MB too. Maybe only the local MB position is weak, compared with other positions. Such a strong team could not even win any CL and Superlega, three seasons in a row. What a shame.
-
Anyone watched today's game? Perugia 2:3 Lube. It's the first time this season Lube defeated Perugia.
Based on stats, Leon had another bad day with 9/23. Anderson 12/30, and Rychlicki 13/33. Dunno what's going on.
-
If my memory serves well, the CL spots are calculated by the order:
regular season champion -> superlega champion -> superlega runner-up -> regular season runner-up -> regular season 3rd winner.
If this is true, Perugia, Lube and Trentino (regular season 3rd winner) will take 3 spots of CL next season. And Modena only got a spot for CEV cup.
