On Sunday, September 29th local time, Perugia, where Ishikawa Yuki plays, will face off against Verona in the first round of the first half of the Italian Superlegaga.
The opening match, held in Perugia, was packed with 3,671 fans, and Perugia, cheered on by the home crowd, won in straight sets 3-0 (29-27, 25-22, 25-21) to start the season off with a win.
Ishikawa Yuki was in the starting lineup for the match and scored 10 points, the third highest on the team.
In the final stages of the first set, Perugia made a series of mistakes, forcing the match into a tie, but from the middle of the second set onwards, they attacked with serves and blocks to reduce the success rate of their opponents' attacks, and with S. Gianelli skillfully spreading out the sets, Perugia managed to maintain their lead by scoring points with all players, keeping Verona at bay.
Perugia's OH Semeniuk and MB Rosell were particularly active, with OH Semeniuk showing his presence with 3 service aces and MB Rosell with 4 blocks in addition to his spikes. It's good that S Gianelli is using MB Rosell so actively. At his previous club, Milan, Rosell's abilities were not fully utilized immediately after joining, but S Gianelli is as expected.
Ishikawa scored points early in the first set, but made several spike errors towards the end. However, he regained his performance in the third set and contributed to the victory.
Unfortunately, Verona was inferior to Perugia in most aspects and it was a tough match. In particular, it seemed that the new signing S. Abaev and the attackers were not yet well matched. However, the team icons OH Mojic and OP Keita are not yet in top form, so there is a possibility that they will improve in the future.
