Everybody saw it – this was not the night of Ivan Zaytsev.

Zaytsev

The best player in Italian team scored only 9 points in the semifinal against Brazil, and his team failed to qualify for the final stage of the World League 2014.

After the match Zaytsev was clearly disappointed, but accepted to summarize the game for WoV…

“We had everything in our hands, on our court. We wanted to win the World League badly, but we gave a big ‘gift’ to Brazil. Firstly we ‘let’ them come to the Final Six after failing to beat them two times in the final games of the Group stage, and now we ‘let’ them play in the final” said excellent opposite.

He added that he could not explain what happened with his game in the semifinal.

“I don’t know. I had a lot of problems. Everybody wanted to see me in good shape, perhaps that attention caused the bad reaction…”

Zaytsev concluded that his team must forget this loss in less than 24 hours.

“Tomorrow we have to win for us, and to end this tournament with a victory. We hope that we will do well. We now have to switch off our heads.”

Brazil is in the final because the rest of teams ignored them. Brazil is playing good but not perfect.

One player does not make a team. Zaytsev showed when he does not play, the italiam team can not win. They don’t have any other player to push in important moments.
