Robertlandy Simon Aties (2nd movie)

if todoro can block simon , where is todorov in the World Championship ? Oh sorry he dont go to the Championship for technical desition or for broke a leg or something , the thing is yesterday ,today an i guees tomorrow is probably Simon still the best midleblocker in the World no matter what. only a guy can beat it his name is Dimitry Muserski .

Todorov can block him, he jumps fast and very high. They haven't met yet

The best of best , The king of King simon is simple a Star , i Think the only one can beat Simon is Musersky but for Simon Musersky is a litle Slow , simon have power but is more faster . than he

Przydałby się w Polsce taki środkowy..

Usher More

Can u tell me the name of the song ?

ezet - I know that (I was kidding :) ) 6th sense is somethink different, the regular people don't have that :) . Only the mediums have it (and spiderman ofcourse :D) It's very sad that we can't see him in some of the european leagues :(

dobry siatkarz i bardzo efektowny szkoda że nie gra w europie

Nightfox ure talkin about block. Simon reads opp's game very well actually and bear in mind that Cuba doesnt have any statisticians to give him tips where he should make his block.

Best midle blocker of course ! I think the only way he could work to improve himself is the 6th sense when he blocks :D . The other parts (service,atack) of his are simply perfect .

Haha, I was at that match joel. I don't now if it was the best match but it was an awesome one. Cuba plays a style of Volleyball wich is so exciting. They play a very fast system and the sets are very thight to the net so if the guys in the back row are receiving good, they're are going to be a lot of impressive plays. especially on the spikes.

Yeah I know Nagor, but I have a better version of the 2nd match (Aug 26), I got it directly from the camera crew. Its still not amazing quality, but a little better. Also the third match (and imo the best of 3) was at Laval University, and they streamed it on their website but I don't think that match is up anymore, I'll have that one soon too. It was a tiny venue for such an amazing team like Cuba, but that's what volleyball is here in Canada. In Quebec, they could have had the biggest audience if they had enough space, but this place only held 2000. There were 3500 people at the Ottawa game, played in the venue where the Ottawa Senators play, could easily hold 12000+ I think. The first match wasn't good, Canada was playing bad, due to inexperience, and the crowd seemed very bored, I don't think people in Toronto quite understand volleyball. But the Laval match was good because of the atmosphere, the place was totally packed in the crowd was into every play. Simon was enjoying the attention from the crowd too, especially in the warmup, that crowd had never seen such athletic volleyball players before (talking about the Cubans). I haven't seen it again since I was there, but I'm looking forward to getting that match, I hope the quality is good.

I have to grab them from my friend first, as they were sent by mail to his place. Also when I do that I'll have the 3 matches Canada played in the WC.

joel upload those matches pls

casavera where did you get his spike touch from? Notice that on the Cuban roster, there were 6 to 7 players in a row listed at 358 cm for their spike touch, including Simon, as well as at least 1 setter, maybe even a libero. And then Hernandez was listed right under that at 258, obviously a typo. But seems to me, Cuban's didn't have, or didn't care to share, the actual spike touches so just threw a whole bunch of 358's on there. Not saying Simon can't reach that high, I would estimate his spike touch to be around 360cm for sure. But you know, it would be cool if FIVB actually made sure teams released proper data on this stuff, because I think its a good thing for fans to know, and compare. They should make it mandatory at events like this to test the spike touch of each athlete on the team. Maybe that would be a waste of time, or get in the way of teams trying to focus only on winning, but again it would be nice for us to have. And I hope that soon Simon will be considered the best middle blocker there is. You are right, he is extremely universal, and I find this awesome for a guy who honestly has a very untraditional form in his approach, jump, serve, and pass, but he's extremely effective and a very strong athlete. I've seen him pepper before a match and he has a very odd passing form, but yet he has very good control in his pass, and i've seen him make exceptional digs in the backrow, and make some good plays off of dives as well. No offense to some of the middle blockers out there, but there are some who would make a fool of themselves if they had to dive for a ball or do some sort of defensive action that you would expect from the libero. As his short jump serves never fails to impress me, i've seen him use it so many times where the receivers don't even try to get the ball before it hits the floor, but they can't just move up either because they have to be ready for a powerful deep serve as well. The first time I saw him on Youtube i wasn't that impressed, I didn't like his awkward form and he seemed like just another middle blocker who was there because he was tall. And then I saw him play 3 times in Canada, and that perspective changed very quickly. But the thing that stood out for me the most was his attitude on the court. Sure he will sometimes do what the Cuban's traditionally do and stare down their opponent after blocking them or getting a huge kill, but I think this is part of the game, as long you do it respectfully. He will always apologize when hitting someone in the face too. He lets his emotions impact his game in a good way. When there is a bad call or the other team does something disrespectful, he gets fired finds a way to score the next 2 or 3 points for his team, starting with a very big kill out of the middle. He's the one who tries to keep his team together and in focus when they lose their rhythm or let their emotions negatively impact their playing. Well it was great to see him play some matches, even if they were just exhibition for WC, here in Canada. I have some clips of these matches, I will try to upload them soon, you can see Simon on several making great plays after a questionable call by the ref/linesman, or Canada trying to stare him down through the net. In the last of 3 matches, Just Duff (Canada) got a kill in the middle and stared down Simon and Leal for about 8-10 seconds, but Simon doesn't take crap like that from a rookie middle blocker, who also happens to be a lot smaller than him. The next few plays were fun to watch.

He was the best MB from world league 2009, best MB from thw world cup 2009, the best MB from worldchampionship 2010 He is the best now days, and very universal player. He can also play beachvolley and with a verygood sideout and set!! He is good in basketball, good in baseball. Was the youngest Capitan in Italy!! by the way he spike now at 366cm (358 was from 5 years ago)

A monster in the middle.!!! HE is tall and strong !!

Jak dla mnie muzyka jest dobra :D Simon - zdecydowanie najlepszy na swojej pozycji. Wyskok, siła, inteligencja, charyzma. Posiada wszystko, co potrzebne. Bez niego Kuba nie byłaby taką świetną drużyną. Btw. bardzo lubie jak simon wybija sie do ataku jakby 'w bok'. Ciekawe zagranie dodatkowo uprzykrzające życie bloku :D

In my opinion music is not so bad. Simon is just outstanding, his monstrous spikes, serves and blocks are just unique, there is no other player who connects so much power with the flawless technique. In addition he is really fast and flexible - setting or digging the ball is not a problem for him. I consider him one of the best players of the world nowadays, I think he's even within the top 3.

Świetny środkowy. Pisać o nim nie będę, bo wy już wszystko napisaliście :P A filmik mi się bardzo podoba. Super, że wsadziłeś tyle gwoździ :D Dzięki temu muzyka nie przeszkadza aż tak bardzo :D

The most universal middle in the world, don't have to say how godlike serve, spike, block (even set and defence) he has. Just the best in every aspect.

No matter how you look at it, he's amazing

Zawsze myślałem, że ma już trochę lat za sobą, a tu się okazuję, że zaledwie 23lata ;d Na pewno jeden z najlepszych na swojej pozycji.

You know... First time I saw him not only for a moment but playing it was during World League, when we were on a volleyball camp. They were playing with Poland, I think third match. At first I thought " OMG, next tall, very strong and slow middle blocker like our Możdżon...". But guys told me - " Simon - you'll see!". And I saw.. :O. He's just kind of hammer that hits veeery fast:)

Chyba najlepszy Kubańczyk nie licząc Juantoren'y. Jeden z lepszych środkowych świata. Potwierdził to na tych mistrzostwach.

Mega srodkowy!!! Najciezsza reka na tej pozycji

favorite middle blocker, ever.

Extending the concept of middle position player, he is more than best middle in the world. Thanks to new Cuba setter, Simon can show what he can do. Thanks for video!

The best!

Tak jest przy znacznej większości filmach. Materiały świetne ale muzyka do kitu.

nie ma na niego bata
