ASV - Lyngby 0-3

Bad saturday, very bad volleyball´s saturday.


We lost 3-0 against Lyngby who was missing 3 starting-6 players, but the ones who substitute them play a good volley.

There is not much to say, they played better, their attacks have been very efficient, their serve was "regular", doing only 3 mistakes, all of them in the 3rd set, forcing us to play side-out, and inevitably, we got blocked, we hitted out, we got digged a lot of times. May be a reason that we didn´t even win a set, for the first time in the season, is the thing that we got digged a lot of times, and it made us unsecure of our skills and consequently, ball after ball, our self-confidence decresed, making the game easier for Lyngby and tougher for us
Their defensive system was efficient, specially against our opposite....

We trow away a great opportunity, we could have lead our group, now we are FORCED to win all the games, and possibly all of them 3-0, and hopying that Lyngby would lose some sets in the remainig games, with the hope to achieve a better set´s score and win the league to move up in Elite.

I want to thank all the people who went at the game, they have supported us all the 3 sets, even if we wasn´t play good enough... I hope they´ll come next time too, but after our poor performance, I won´t blame if they won´t show up again!!!

Friday I went to see SK Århus (or is it Århus Volley now???) beating Marienlyst, it was really exciting!!! Marienlyst went in front 2-0 thanks to a better serve and a great performance of their opposite, Shawn.

SK found the way to come back in the 3rd and in the 4th....playing incredible defences and smart hits. The tie-break was unreal, they switched courts on 8-7 for SK; since than Marienlyst scored only 2 points with side-out, the others points came from 4 serve mistakes and one ball hitted out!!! It happened that Marienlyst had the match-ball as first, and Milos´ serve was good, a clear ace right before the bottom line, but the ref saw it out, may be thinking about the last 2 Dave´s hits (the first one was a great block-out, the second one was in) which he judge out giving those points to the visitors´ team...

But this saturday haven´t been only volleyball: Juventus haven´t played today, but ITALY for the first time in his history won a 6Nations's game abroad, defeating Scotland 37-17...for the ones who don´t know, I´m talking about Rugby!!!


Great job guys, now we have the reaming 2 games at home against Ireland and Wales....we would like to be with you in the field and help you all to win those games, but you are too big and strong, we just prefere to support you from the stands and in front of TV
