I’ve seen a whole lot of good volleyball this season, in addition to loads of unhealthy volleyball. The current Champions League match between Trento and Perugia supplied many examples of the previous. One of many joys of (my) life is watching gamers like Alessandro Michieletto and Matej Kaziyski remedy recreation issues in actual time.
So the query for right now is what’s the key play on this rally?

Clearly the block cowl that retains the ball alive is fairly vital. As is the restoration from exterior the courtroom. However the easy second that switches the benefit within the rally from Perugia to Trento is the straightforward leap that Michieletto makes earlier than placing over what may have been a free ball.
That little leap adjustments the complete dynamics of the rally. It adjustments the angle and velocity of the ball sufficient in order that the opposing center, despite the fact that he was prepared for it, can not utterly management the primary contact.
The imprecise first contact results in a predictable set that provides the center blocker and the defender time to get to good positions to make a play.
And then, Kaziyski, as an alternative of attempting to expire to the ‘optimum’ assault place and virtually actually being late, stays in a ‘good’ place. Michieletto then units to the place the spiker is, as an alternative of the place he ‘ought to’ be and Kaziyski is ready to have a full method and assault.
Kaziyski will get the purpose ultimately, however the level alternative is created by the Michieletto’s ‘leap’.
In volleyball nice outcomes come up from virtually imperceptible inputs.
