Modena 3-0 TrentinoBig win for Modena. Nimir in particular was very good, with nice contributions from Ngapeth and Leal as well. Modena significantly won the serve-pass battle. Cavuto and Zenger did not hold up well in receive. Trentino's offense was actually pretty decent led by Michieletto. I thought after the first set, it would be more competitive but nice job by Modena to sweep. I really felt like Zenger found out the SuperLega is not the Bundesliga. I am not sure is Kazyskiy is hurt, but they missed him yesterday. Cavuto was not nearly as productive as he needed to be, and his passing was worse than Zenger's. |

Cisterna wins over Milano in a barn burner of a match. Idk, but I kinda feel like Milano has the talent to beat Cisterna but isn’t quite clicking

I was surprised to see he just scored 7 pts in 5 sets when he played all 5 sets. That's surprising considering he's an OH. Patry - 28 pts (45% efficiency) Jaeschke - 24 pts (44% efficiency) Chinenyeze - 15 pts (57% efficiency) Ishikawa - 7 pts (20% efficiency) Piano - 6 pts (50% efficiency) I have yet to see this game so I don't know if Ishikawa helped in the reception and digs to balance his lack of offense. But I'm not hopeful based on previous games. |

But I'm not hopeful based on previous games. He was at 61/35 for his reception stat line. That was significantly better than Jaeschke’s 45/19 although Jaeschke was targeted more often I just saw the game. The stats didn't show that serves to Ishikawa resulted to out of system plays. Even in easy serves. Digging isn't really that good too. He's no longer the ishikawa we saw in the olympics. I know he's a popular player but Milano should reconsider other people in that position. He is very unstable in the passing. And his spikes are mostly blocked or outside. Patry can't do it all. Jaeschke is sometimes dependable. Sometimes is not. Chinenyeze is a middle that relies heavily in good pass for the setter to even consider giving him the ball. The biggest difference in this season's game of Ishikawa is the passing. The digs and reception are just not as precise as it used to. Their next game is Ravenna. Milano should try replacing Ishikawa in this game. I mean Ravenna is a weaker team, so this adjustment won't be that crucial. Just try someone else. |

Unfortunately I won't have time to do a recap this week, but some things to note so far: Nishida said to have a muscle injury in his leg. Szwarc also suffered from a knee injury.
Also, Milano barely surviving Ravenna... eek

Most of the production came from Jaeschke (19 kills) and Ishikawa (13 kills) and Chinenyeze (13 kills) |

I am not sure what is going on with Ishikawa, but he's been disappointing so far. He was incredible for Japan in VNL and the Olympics. Part of it is having a young setter in Porro who does not quite replicate Japan's system and also having to take some really tough swings (especially when Porro is subbed off the court or because the out of system setting by Milano is sketchy). But regardless, I hope he can find more confidence / rhythm and be more effective. Even his passing has been off at times.

I believe I did see somewhere that Patry had a minor muscular problem, but I am not sure Yes, Patry did not play and not rostered for the match. Yuri Romano is back after being out for a couple of games due to sickness. He was the one who initially replaced Patry and started for 3 sets, iirc. By Set 4, they had Mosca in to be an MB, and Chinenyeze actually played as Opposite. For set 5, Maocchi played as Opposite. I agree that Ishikawa's performance is disappointing so far. Looking at his stats from the previous seasons, his attack/kill% is at 46%, 48% and 47% for 2018-2021 seasons but currently he's hitting at 36%. |

I think its unfair to include Porro in any discussion about the poor performance of Ishikawa. This is all on him. I mean porro was the mvp of the ravenna game. And Jaeschke, Chinenyeze and Patry have been getting incredible numbers with him setting. |

I think Porro is a skilled setter, but some of the inconsistencies and predictability surely affects the hitters. I think you’re embellishing here, and it would be unfair to blindly compare the sets Ishikawa gets to players who don’t play the same position. I fully understand that I am a biased fan, but I don’t think my original statement was unfair. |
