If in the Imoco women's tournament, it is confirming the absolute power of the champion, in the male tournament of the Italian volleyball volleyball, the defending champions Cucine Lube Civitanova are experiencing the pathetic time series.
Rated as the No. 1 candidate for the throne and also the defending champion but Lube lost 4 consecutive matches. The latest defeat came in the 17th round of the tournament.
This team lost 2-3 against Verona in the match last night despite the absent opponent, the Russian main hit, Maksim Sapozhkov, this made the fans angry.
Worth mentioning in this match, Verona is also underestimated Lube quite much and is only 9th in the rankings. After this result, the order of the two teams had a significant change.
Lube dropped to the 5th on the rankings despite the same number of victories and points with Piacenza while Verona rose to the 6th right after Lube when there was the same number of victories and 3 points behind.
In this season, after 17 rounds, the reigning champions of Italy have only 9 wins and won only 27 points. They are 8 victories behind the top team and 24 points.
Lube's pathetic achievement is something no one predicts before the tournament started. The ability to defend the championship of this team is being laid a big question mark.
