Almost
stable structure of team for years – approximate constant basic formation,
·
Well-balanced
formation, very experienced and well-coordinated team.

attractive (fast/rich in variation) and successful volleyball – show technical
tactical superiority and sound self-confidence under coach Bernardo.

Further
development of individual action profiles, in preparing for the opponent and

Weakest
team value with 43% excellent receptions and 6% minus; Santos No.10 (libero)
with 48% still best individual player at place 5.
·
Basic
formation with all types of serve very central in 3-player formation and offer
rather the line.
·
After
jump floats libero and Dante No.18 take over the passing from Gilberto No.7,
Gilberto No.7 orientates himself toward fast attacking side out or back row
attack P6.
·
Missing
passing quality when different variants of jump serves are executed (hard
driven and spin).
Setting:
·
With
Ricardo No.17 BRA has an outstanding setter who is able to realize perfectly
the philosophy of fast and varied play.
·
Low,
partly fast and powerful sets through outside positions are still instable;
short distances with low set through back row (P6) are very efficient.
·
Creates
moments of surprise for the opponent with extraordinary sets after complicated
passing, defensive or block situations (example directly behind with Gustavo
No.13)!
·
Plays
perfect combination sets at the middle of the net (first tempo and back court
P6), integrates himself successfully and surprisingly as first attacker after
reception (70% efficiency),
·
Have
outstanding technical potentialities to use the players from all positions in
the 3 metre area – first tempo along the entire width of the net and at 2-3
metres from the net!
·
Good
striking force with success rate and low error rate.
·
In
first tempo attack variation of running paths; with Rodrigo No.14 the team has
a very explosive and efficient offensive player who is able to hit extreme
angles!
·
Fast
powerful sets through outside positions cut down on the repertoire of offences
a bit – are mostly hit diagonally.
·
Clear
distribution of roles and tasks with respective solution options characterize
the well organised and clearly structured offensive system!
·
Many
variations in their repertoire of serves, average efficiency with 4% plus and
16% minus.
·
Large
discrepancy in efficiency of serve between players doing jump serve (e. g.
Dante No. 18/Gilberto No.7) and players doing jump float (Rodrigo No.14).
·
Change
of types of serve depending on tactical requirements, variation and combination
in the use of strength and spin (left-sided and right-sided as well as high
spin) – can still be improved!
·
Serve
tactics on the basis of opponent-specific information before and during the
play – aims at an effective serve or at elimination of one front player!
·
Very
effective block play at all positions – best block team by wide margin; the
players have complete command of several blocking techniques and use them
depending on the situation!
·
Basically
they jump late, go directly to the ball, also block passively or modify the
area of the block temporarily!
·
In the
individual blocking techniques moving both hands to the left and to the right,
opening and shutting of arms/hands is increasingly noticeable.
·
Depending
on the type of set in sideward movement slip step, cross step and/or link to
preceding movement.
·
Well
organised defence system adapted to the opponent – libero Sergio No.10 mostly
defends at P5, back row players P1/5 take over short-distance covering.
·
Very
good reaction and agility and excellent handling of balls close to the body by
almost all players.
·
Starting
position of libero at approximately 3 m distance from the net (defence of
second ball attack, hit or tip by opponent’s setter)!
·
Starting
defence position of the back row players orientates itself by the signal system
of the block players (defence of position or double and/or triple defence!
·
Clear
responsibilities in attacking transition – the purpose of a quick and
surprising attacking transition is discernible!
·
Fast
combination attacks from free balls situations and good defence dominate with
Gilberto No.7/ Dante No.18 (P4) or first tempo (Gustavo No.13/Rodrigo No.14)
alternating with back court P6 attack.
·
Andre
No.9 and Dante No.18 are responsible for the final hit from high sets - they
have technical tactical qualities when facing group blocks!
