And for those who dislike Kubiak, I hope you also feel the same about Ngapeth because both of them aren’t innocent. But the thing is, one of them is still playing and still being arrogant as hell (+ all the things mentioned about him).
Kubiak will certainly be in the crowd...
So if Ngapeth needs eventually extra motivation
PS: Referee Stefano Cesare
Considering we're the country with the most fourth places, it makes sense we ended fourth in men's volleyball too. Jokes aside, maybe back-to-back titles in 2021 and 2022 raised expectations a bit too much when the team still has to grow and mature. We're not bad, because playing for a medal in a tournament with crazy quality like this one means you're competitive, but we're not there yet. Expanding the roster and find credible alternatives is essential (in OH position especially), but for the next cycle it might be a good idea to let Sbertoli or Porro play a little bit more. I love Giannelli and as much as important he is for the team, sometimes it's fine to have some rest, clear your head for some rallies and then get back at it. Look how helpful Cambi-Antropova duo was for the girls, I'm sure we can do the same with the boys.
Fefè could perhaps consider the Giango's sub technique at back row with Totti/Brizard (different setting by Sbertoli and some rest/refocusing for Gianelli)
| EDIT: I mean not the double sub Totti/Faure but the setter sub. |
USA veteran team (Anderson!) really deserves this medal but I'm very disappointed with this young but still experienced italian team.
Obviously it seems like olympics are a different kind of pressure...
ITA couldn't keep their usual serve/pass level during the knock-out stage.
Alessandro!
and what about the arena's DJ playing again and again Magnum PI's theme for the 'stache serves? lol
Something very sad in all these bronze medal matches, all about quick mental recovery.
If POL win this, polish fans will acknowledge Grbić's genius for choosing Łomacz lol
definitively a mythic game
Defense level of Japan AND Italy is insane! How many amazing rallies?
So glad real japan style finally showed up
Let's see argentinian response.
what a tense!
