Congratulations to Perugia in finally breaking the duck and brining home a trophy they longed for so long. Happy for Giannelli and Lorenzetti finally finding some redemption after these back-to-back losses, Ben Tara put on the ground some key balls but overall the whole team didn't crumble when things got tough and everything was on the line. Zawiercie will be sad for a couple of days, but they played a hell of a game and nearly pulled off another amazing recovery. If Perry was everywhere and beyond (I guess in Modena they're popping the good bottles), Russell was unreal on offence, at some point it seemed like having another opposite on the taraflex.

Let it be Eze only a matter of time before she outplays her and the coach can't ignore it
I believe I can speak for most of the Italians here when I say we hope she can develop in the top player she glimpsed to be, but she's still quite young and experience makes a huge difference, especially for a difficult position like setter.

It seems like Kamil is naturalized and will play for Italy NT. I don't want to start the discussion again but there were many hypocritical Italian users criticizing turkey for Vargas, I hope they will shut up now
I'd rather invest in prospect like Bovolenta to be honest, I don't believe Rychlicki can be an improvement from Romanò.

As Fernando Alonso once said, "Already I have big problems now, posting like this, looking like amateur!"

Trento and Lube keep trading 3-0, but the former look a bit more solid compared to the latter. Bottolo wasn't ok today, but Trento seems a bit more solid and balanced. Still, no matter how the series ends Lube did a fantastic job this season.

Not funny at all, this is just prove how skinny club competition is.
You need big budgets to compete for such trophies, but only few teams can afford that. Plus, some of them (Scandicci or Eczacıbaşı to name the most notorious ones) really tend to waste their money rather than spend it accordingly.

Display MoreMy dream team:
Haak MVP
Ognjenovic / Antropova
Gabi / Zhu
Fahr / Yuan
Castillo
This does make sense, the one presented at the arena is an absolute joke.

I agree. Imoco didn't have a great game at passing. You don't get to see MDG at 8% of perfect many times. Zhu ended with 0% perfect.
For Scandicci Herbots was simply too inconsistent. And they desperately need a consistent attacking MB, because Carol and Nwakalor are good blocker, but it's not enough. Ruddins played her best, Maybe she deserved more court time along the season. I always feel like she's a bit underrated.
De Gennaro was quite mid and made a couple of unusual mistakes, but I must say Santarelli built a very dense net around Zhu Ting to limit her involvement in passing. Coming to Scandicci, at the end of the day it was again a too-short-blanket-problem.
-
I don't know if the game would've been much different, but Scandicci payed dearly the bad performance at serving and from most of its OH unit (the lone Ruddins couldn't be enough in assisting Antropova).

Well, when a team nearly tops the unreal feat 2012-2013 VakıfBank was able to achieve, there's only one thing you can do. You take your hat off and you congratulate the girls and the coach. I feel sorry for players like Carol and Ognjenović, who may never have another shot for the Champions League, but this Conegliano is simply dominant.
-
Exactly, like i don't expect that Ruddins became Gabi, but the part that they can for sure be better in are things like this.
It's one of the few things that can put some question marks to a team like Conegliano that is simply cruising at the moment. Plus, it's through serving that Scandicci got to the final.
-
The 6 service errors and it was mostly balloons 3m out is unacceptable at this level.
These are gifts Conegliano simply doesn't need.
-
What a set from Ognjenović, Herbots had to make the kill.
-
Zhu has 20% positive and 0% perfect on 5 attempts and Scandicci keeps serving strong without a target.
It's not easy to uncover the protection they're giving her, even a cheeky server like Ognjenović isn't doing much.
-
Ruddins is giving some breath to Scandicci, but they need more from the others too.
-
Imagine Scandicci pulls a Brazil London 2012 😅
So far no team has ever won the cup after trailing 0-1... Time to make history!
-
Gabi and Moki on the back court sometimes feels like a cheat code.
Imagine if they've kept Robinson too...
-
Bajema is so useless.
No junk in her trunk left after yesterday I suppose.
-
A couple of botched receptions and Conegliano tries to escape, Scandicci needs more from the OH unit.
