A super Sir Susa Vim Perugia defeats HalkBank Ankaradi coach Boban Kovac 3-0 and flies for the second time in a row to the final of the Club World Cup currently being held in Bangalore, India. Tomorrow at 4.00 pm in Italy, the Block Devils will face the Brazilians of Itambè Minas in the final who defeated the Japanese Suntory Sunbirds in the tie break in the second Semi-final.

An excellent Perugia reached the final, capable this afternoon of playing two sets bordering on perfection. Intelligent in serving, excellent in reception, effective in attack, very solid in the block-defense correlation, capable of keeping the number of direct errors to a minimum. These are the Block Devils in the first two halves, deployed at their best tactically by coach Lorenzetti capable of closing with scores of 25-14 and 25-16. The third set is instead a tangle of emotions. HalkBank, led by its champions Ngapeth and Nimir, revs up and the challenge is point to point. We get to the advantage, Perugia doesn’t score two match points, Ankara doesn’t take advantage of four balls to extend the match to the fourth. Then on the third attempt Semeniuk closes the “smash” and makes his team rejoice.

Perugia wins the challenge in all fundamentals. The difference stands out in the winning blocks (9 against 3 as well as many useful touches for the defense), in reception (58% against 41% positive) and in attack (55% against 44% of the team).

Best scorer in Sir Susa’s half of the field Vim Kamil Semeniuk. The Polish hammer scores 15 with 54% in attack. Double figures also for Herrera with 12 points, 9 with 50% for Plotnytskyi. Flavio (8 points) makes 6 out of 8 in the first half, Solè (7 points) closes with 3 winning blocks.

It will therefore be the final tomorrow for Lorenzetti and his boys. On the other side of the net, coach Guilherme’s Itambè Minas should take the field with the playmaker Orlando diagonally with the Cuban-Russian Sánchez Bozhulev in place two, Isac and Renan should be the middle blockers, Coelho and Vinicios the place spikers four with Maique libero.
