None of the Russian outside hitters played their best in the first two sets. Musergsky can play any position, for sure, as all of us could see. Alekno made a great move to put him into opposite position. Brasilians were not ready for this. Kind of Gamova on the right side ;-)
John17, Mikhaylov, Grozer and Sokolov are the current hopes for replacing Milijkovic, but all three have one big "disadvantage" - they are still young! Mkhaylov is further down the road, but he is still managable by Brazil /WC 2011, OG 2012/ while Milijkovic never was. Grozer and Sokolov are inconsistent but beasts. We will see how those three will develop in the future, not to forget Gavin Schmidt and Bartman who can interfere. The fact is that Milijkovic has no rival. Kaziyski for example /Alekno is his biggest fan/ already has 2 rivals - Juantorena /Kaziyski himself said that Juantorena is the best player in the world nowadays/ and Mikhaylov as OH. Zaytsev and Anderson are trying to catch them. For opposites the competition for the crown is weaker, no one is unstoppable yet.
shut up punk WIlfredo, Juantorena and SImon are the best and shut you mouth... Sokolov and Sokolov are you kidding me ??? Sokolov didn play much when he was in Trento and you compare now with the Great IVAN, Please listen to yourself, Michael Sanchez Bozhulev is 100 times better than Sokolov of course nobody counts players that dont play for his NT here.
Was declared by CEV two times in a row, and because he is not Polish or Italian, they stopped with this prize, because he would get it third time in a row
