The return of Oleh!
The Ukrainian left-handed Oleh Plotnytskyi has returned to Perugia and, after the efforts of the world championship, has already made himself available to coach Andrea Anastasi.
An exceptional world championship for Ukraine, which reached the quarter-finals of the event and came out one step away from the semifinal after a very hard-fought match with Slovenia, and an amazing world championship for Plotnytskyi, captain and lighthouse of the team and author of a very high tournament closed level as the best hitter of the event. Even 18 aces from Oleh, by far the record holder with the second classified, the Dutch opposite Nimir, at 12.
“It was a historic achievement for Ukraine, the result above all of good preparation,” says Plotnytskyi. “We spent practically the whole summer together, proving already from the pre-World Cup friendly matches that we can play at a good level. The start of the World Cup was not the best (defeat in three sets against Serbia), we were tense and did not give our best. But then we had a great tournament thinking, as our coach said and as a captain I also reminded my teammates, to always play every point together without looking at the score, but only concentrating on the team. I am also personally happy with my performance. This is the first tournament with the national team that I have arrived at after having made an excellent preparation and the results have been seen. I was in good shape and mentally I was fine too. I can only thank the technical staff and my teammates who helped me a lot ”.
A few days of rest after the World Cup and off to Perugia for his fourth season in the black and white jersey.
“Yes, I returned to Perugia a few days ago, I’m always happy when I come back here and then I can’t imagine myself without Bino (Rizzuto, ed)! I couldn’t wait to see the PalaBarton again, to be back in the city, even Anna and Sviatoslav (her partner and little Poltnytskyi, ed) are happy. And now he starts working hard again, I met the new coach, he made a great impression on me. ”
Oleh, one of the idols of the Sirmaniaci curve, also has something to say to his fans.
“I’ll do my best and everything possible to turn around the curve many times pointing to the Sirmaniaci after an ace!”.
