We totally AGREE with her!
We say: LINDSEY BERG or LEO LO BIANCO FOR MVP!
In her recent blog post with the FIVB for the ongoing World Cup (which concludes on Nov. 18th), the Best Setter at the 1998 World Championship praises American setter and Team Captain Lindsey Berg . “Her attitude is outstanding, she’s a real leader. It’s amazing how the whole team keeps following her, not just because she is the one keeping the ball in play.” according to Maurizia Cacciatori.
By the way, Berg, Tom and Team USA, who is currently ranked #1 and the top favorite to win the tournament.
She also took time to acknowledge one of the best setters in the world and her former teammate, Eleonora Lo Bianco. “In Italy there are calls for “Leo” Lo Bianco to be the Olympic flag-bearer in London and I can think of no one who would deserve this honour more. I would love to see her marching ahead of our athletes. Thousands of people are now signing petitions on social networks. You can join in as well by clicking “like” on Facebook. I truly believe that volleyball and Leo Lo Bianco should represent Italian Olympic sports in London.’ said Mauri who became a mother earlier this year.
The player-turned sports commentator in Italy also expressed her thoughts on Brazil.
“I cannot completely judge from what I see on the video in the Sky studios. My view is limited by the distance. I can only see faces, time outs and looks among players. I was expecting the usual show from Brazilian players. I was expecting lions, but instead I am seeing lambs. I don’t know what has happened to the team guided by Ze Roberto, but they’ve lost their typical aggressive feelings. When they were losing, in the past, they were losing in a different way, not yielding like they are now.”
She is sooooooooooo right with what she said on Paula and Team.
In case you don’t remember Cacciatori, watch this:
We could be wrong but the last time a SETTER received the MVP Award at a major FIVB women’s tourney was in 2006 when Japan’s Yoshie Tokeshita became the MVP at the 2006 World Champs. Also in 2004, Brazil’s Fernanda Venturini got the MVP at the FIVB Grand Prix. It’s been 5 years. Berg or Lo Bianco for MVP!
