On Wednesday, December 4th (local time), in the third group match of the UEFA Champions League, Perugia, the club Ishikawa Yuki plays for, will face Halkbank Ankara (Turkey).
A match between the league leaders of Italy and Turkey. In the first set, Perugia extended their lead with OP Ventara's spikes and blocks from the beginning. In this set, Perugia took the set 25-20 without allowing Halkbank to make a comeback, with an incredible team attack success rate of 90%.
In the second and third sets, Halkbank also had moments where they took the lead from Perugia, with spikes from OP Sotola and service aces from S Marr. However, the three side attackers scored points in a balanced manner, and Perugia, with their superior strength, won the sets 29-27, 25-23 and won in straight sets.
Yuki Ishikawa made his first start in four games and scored 15 points, the most for both teams. His attack efficiency rate was also very high at 601 TP and 3 T. However, he conceded 5 points on serve reception, leaving room for improvement on the defensive side.
However, I was honestly relieved that the manager chose me as a starter. Perhaps it was because of my performance in the previous match against Monza.
In this game, OP Ventara scored 14 points, OH Plotnitsky and OH Ishikawa scored 15 points each, and the scores of the three side attackers were neatly distributed, and the team attack effectiveness rate was also very high at 501 TP 3 T, so the MVP was setter Giannelli. He naturally scored 6 points in this game, and both the number of attack hits and points were more than MB Rosell (lol).
Hulkbank fought very well in the second and third sets, but just fell just short. In particular, the second set was close, as they took it to deuce and had multiple set points, but it was still difficult to score the last point, and I think this is where the difference in experience comes in. However, S. Marr's consecutive service aces were very cool.
The UEFA Champions League group stage is now halfway through, and if they continue like this Perugia can win each of their remaining three games 3-0 and progress to the quarter-finals as group leaders with no sets lost.
