It will be Perugia against Osaka again. The final of the Men’s Club World Cup, at 10.30pm Italian time on Dazn, repeats the match that ended in a tie break in the group but this time the title is worth it, the first for the Japanese team Osaka Bluteon, who have also reached the historic milestone of being the first Japanese club in a final of the Club World Cup, the third for Perugia after the two editions won in 2022 and 2023. A final that comes after two almost embarrassing semi-finals in the difference in values on the field. Two 3-0s without history which certainly do not give good publicity to the event organized in Brazil.

without history

Perugia overwhelms 3-0 (25-15, 25-16, 25-21) the hosts of Renata Volei for whom the experience of the former Modena and Civitanova player, as well as Olympic champion Bruno as director, is not enough, as is the spiker Mauricio. The Brazilians try to start aggressively but it doesn’t take much for Perugia to shift into top gear and leave very little to their opponents. More present on the block, more incisive on serve, faster in attack. Giannelli distributes effortlessly. Lorenzetti deploys Ben Tara diagonally, the hammers Semeniuk and Plotnitsyi and the central defenders Loser and Solé with Colaci free and everyone more or less has their chance in attack in a match in which Renata has very little to say. Even in the third set when he makes an unexpected comeback by taking advantage of the Umbrians’ lack of attention, he is unable to stop the reaction of Giannelli and his teammates who end the match with a block

Osaka

The one against the Japanese coached by Tomas Sammelvuo will be a treacherous challenge. the Japanese team can count on the two-time Olympic champion, as well as former Piacenza player Brizard. And the French director has at his disposal a team that blends the speed of the oriental game, with the Cuban power of Miguel Angel Lopez, the Chinese central defender Peng and the explosiveness of the miniopposite (he is 1.86m tall) star of the Japanese national team Yuji Nishida. Osaka mistreated Aluron CMC Warta Zawiercie coached by Winiarski in the semi-final where central defender Bieniek and American spiker Aaron Russell play. A 3-0 (25-17, 25-23, 25-19) which left the Poles with few regrets
