Rumor: I think I posted this before, so I’m guessing it has legs? Christensen to Zaksa. Had to correct that one. Okay, going back to this one. Kazan. Zaksa— Kazan.. he’s moving.

Rumor: Matt Anderson to Perugia ... is this even possible? I thought Maciej Muzaj left Ural will soon become a player of Sir Safety Conad Perugia. Btw. Playoffs are set for Italy and these last few matches were anticlimactic actually as lots of teams rested players. www.legavolley.it/classifica/?Anno=2020&IdCampionato=809I thought so too, but saw the rumor.

Rumor: Matt Anderson to Perugia ... is this even possible? This one's been around for a couple of weeks. Last I heard, Matt Anderson is in the US and had surgery, I think appendix or something like that. Per FiveOne podcast.
So I think he's out for the near future, probably good for VNL and Olympics. Who knows after that.

Monza is missing Max Holt a lot. I hope he will take his jersey back in the playoffs.

I think I posted about the surgery a while back, but this was rumored in the past 24-48 hours. Maybe it is a re-hash, but the Italians are pretty good with their info. Or maybe they are talking about next season?

Very impressed with Wilfredo Leon and Perugia this year. They’ve found a way to compete with and beat Lube even after losing Luciano De Cecco, Filippo Lanza, Marko Podraščanin to rival teams, and the mysterious injury to Aleksandar Atanasijević. If the rumors are true, Matt Anderson and Wilfredo Leon should have similar results to their time with Zenit Kazan 🏆🏆🏆

If the rumors are true, Matt Anderson and Wilfredo Leon should have similar results to their time with Zenit Kazan 🏆🏆🏆 At 1 million Leon is worth ever penny. Doesn't tire, injury free and gamechanging serve. Colaci is the best libero in the league Sole is an upgrade from Podrascanin Plotnytskyi is better and more electric than Lanza. DeCecco is a loss but Perugia's passing has been the best in the league Bata is a mess and struggled to regain any strength from multiple surgeries and tough bought with Covid. Even before this he is the oldest 29 elite player I know of and honestly does have much prime play left.

Well, as suspected Atanasijević will not be asked back for Perugia. His best years are behind him and for what his current salary is they need more productvity here.
Leal is also going to leave Lube and look for a salary more worth his value, which he should get and deserves.
Piacenza is interested in him.

Atanasijevic - Rumor is he is off to Poland.
I think the odds of a Matt Anderson to Perugia could happen, but next season.
Leal = Piacenza or Russia?

Holy Crap,
Modena destroyed Perugia in the Champions League 1/4s 3-0
Christenson led the Modena offense at a 53% clip.
Perugia was awful hitting 39% Even though Perugia out blocked and out aced Modena, their offensive output could not match Christenson's offense.
Vettori led all attackers with 14 kills on 24 att. Good for him.
Stunning loss for Perugia

Great win by Modena! Where’s this been all year!? I have to give Grebennikov his flowers, back to back digs on Leon late in set 3 WOW. Also, very surprised that Leal won’t be returning to Lube, especially with Osmany getting up there in age.

So Ben Patch is locked in to Berlin Recyclings until 2024.
From a volleyball perspective I would like to see him in a better league for his skill development but it seems that the club, the city and Ben all have a mutual affection for each other and ultimately happiness wins out here.
Good for him. 🎯
