@xandreopoulos: On the matter, I must disagree with you. Yes, it is true indeed that many players prefer Korea to major leagues due to the salary they get over there, that's despicable to some extent. Nevertheless, I don't agree with your point of view about Korean players. In fact, if on the one hand Korean players are not as good as European/American ones, on the other hand they are trying to develop their home league and make a championship good enough for native players to play in. My opinion is that by doing so, they help players improving over time; moreover, I consider Korean v-league more as a show to enjoy, than just a sport. I deeply enjoy watching the way they celebrate and so forth. So, what's the matter? They enjoy sport in a different way, that doesn't mean that just because their players are not as good as ours, they should be deprived of the opportunity to have a league, and hire a foreign player.

@Wilfredo_is_Marshall:
If you go to Youtube, look for spotv, it's a Korean sports channel. You should be able to find the complete matches on that channel.

I watched all three matches, and Leonardo Leyva's attacks make up 90% of Bluefangs. He is an astonishing player, i would like to watch him playing in Europe. Simon on the other hand, showed that he's not a real opposite, in fact he was blocked/commited errors several times during these finals. It's a pity that Simon can't play in his own role, as he's - imho - the best middle blocker in the world along with Muserskiy, as long as attack is concerned. I greatly enjoyed watching the finals, and Ok Bank Ansan Rush&Cash dominated with two 3-0 at Daejeon, and 3-1 at Ansan.

Amazing video, congratulations :)

I feel sorry for Fromm xD

What's Martino doing in this movie? For him it's just a "job". Anyway, amazing movie, congratulation : )

Watching Italy and Russia playing, you mean? ?

Pearl of course I agree on Mastrangelo, I can get that choice. But on the other hand, I think that one or two experienced players who stay on the bench and are called in only during difficult moments, won't ruin the project. I'm just a little bit surprised/disappointed for some choices, but in the end I should have expected them.
Anyway about the liberos: I'm extremely happy that Berruto didn't call Bari in NT. I have never got why Bari played as first libero both in the National Team and in Trento, I sadly can't see anywhere his skills. And if you asked me to point a weak spot of the NT in the last OG, I would undoubtly point all my ten fingers to Bari ?
About the starting six, I totally agree with you, Pearl: I would really like to see Vettori in the starting six. I think he can give a lot to our NT. : )


Vatreni I guess it would be a little bit difficult to see them together : ) But if you asked me to choose between those two, I would pick Vettori out , despire Sabbi's stunning season!

Mmm Vatreni, you know, I think that experience can save you in difficult games. Sometimes young people can't stand pressure, and maybe an experienced substitute would give the team the mental strenght that they need. Also, apart from Mastrangelo who didn't play in Cuneo due to problems with the coach, Fei could have been that kind of player. I don't know if Buti has some kind of problems, but I'm surprised, in case he doesn't, that he is not there.
Oh, another detail: Lasko not called after a more than decent season in JW...

I'm very disappointed for the choice of the middle blockers. I can't see any benefit for us not calling Mastrangelo nor Fei nor Buti.

Kaziyski is playing really good, and differently from last season (when I didn't really like his performances - don't bring me statistics, I won't change my opinion), he is taking back again his main role in Trento. I support Trento for the finals, but I hope to see a great show :)

He probably saw a quail, and he clearly wanted to hit it to have something to eat after the match :P Try to get him :p

Murilo looks a bit pissed off :P

Oh Revan I totally agree with you. It was a delight to watch this match two days ago, such a beautiful tecniques, attacks, defence, serves. And I have to admit that I prefer this kind of volleyball to today's one, probably because as you already said, today the strenght and the physique have the upper hand over the tecnique. There are anyway exceptions, of course!
