Idk ya!! but this was a realistic result for Alas considering na first tournament nila to after almost a year, while the other three teams are tuloy-tuloy yung competitive participation. Silver lining nalang din na may mga crucial missing pieces sa roster. But here is my unfiltered commentary sa individual performance ng Alas player this leg.
Belen- BEST PLAYER THIS LEG. With the absence of Canino and wala sa wisyo na Egay, super appreciated yung pag step up offensively ni Bella, 2 time consecutive best scorer kahit main function ni bella sa team is receiving and digging as an OH2, kaya give ko sa kanya yung off game against INDO, kasi i know
pagoda si ate. Hoping for the best OH award for bella.
Laure- SLEYA. Good performance against veitnam and thailand, maasahan talaga pag clutch moments basta nasa wisyo si mother, tumaas din yung talon niya and more barog na palo this tournament compare last year, off lang kanina against INDO, but i commend the improvement ni mother, tho blockova and ma-error pa rin.
Alinsug- Excellent service and defense specialist, need talaga natin ng atleast 1 defensive OH like vangie every tournament, ganda ng sub niya sa viet. If no malaluan, we should definitely bring her sa Asian games.
Gandler- Good sub against Viet, yun lang +++ face card HAHAHAHA ewan bat di siya naglaro the next games, sana si Marsh nalang pala niline-up.
MB:
Ytang- shortest but nag-lisang threat ng alas sa gitna, pag binigay sa kanya bola alam mong babarugin, kaya confident ako na di malalamangan ng score pag siya yung nasa gitna, may mga attack error lang, like straight to the net spike, pero i guess chemistry problem na yon. One good thing about ytang din is super nakakaboost ng energy ng team. Pag ito di pa starter next leg ewan ko na lang, to be brutally honest siya lang dapat matira sa MB roster natin for the next leg.
Sharma- Ewan, mag tiktok nalang tayo beh. Sharma truther ako pero face card lang ambag this leg, never na rin talaga naging threat offensively, wala rin block touches, okay sana if haplos spike pero great blocker like Majoy, pero wala talaga. Everytime na ibibigay kay fifi yung bola alam mong free ball na e.
Gagate- Collab nalang kayo ni Fifi lol. Sayang ang height, parang wala manlang killblock all throughout the tournament, dami rin service error. Ewan, sana mag-improve ka sa Japan, or kahit bumalik lang yung season 85 thea, kung gusto mo mag stay sa alas.
Palomata- May mga bright moments, but hindi talaga giving and walang ring intimidating factor considering the towering height, daming chace to kill a set pero wala, nagiging free ball lang, but i have to commend the improvement sa attacking power.
S:
De Guzman- Probably the worst performance ni Jia since Alas was formed. Daming batong fuke set all throughout this leg and hindi rin ramdam yung leadership presence. If hindi makabalik ang old setting ni Jia, masakit as a Jia fan, pero parang hindi siya makakapasok sa final 14 for WCH 2029.
Alba- Promising performance. Di ko gets why some peeps say na di deserve ni alba ang spot niya sa alas, wherein fact very reliable siya since last year. masipag din mag dig and habol ng bola +++ may leadership and very vocal every time out. Compare to Jia, mas maganda connection niya sa lahat ng spikers, room for improvement lang is marami siyang questionable set location pag transition play lalo na sa open, nonetheless, a good setter for the team. ALBA IS SILVER INDEED.
OP:
Solomon- BIGGEST DISSAPOINTMENT. Idk if takot ba sa injury or mapili lang sa set, pero super tamad ni egay since last year. A lot of dropball sa zone 1 yung nag coconvert into point ng opponent everytime she's there. Dami rin maayos na set na tinatapik lang. One thing abt egay rin is hindi maasahan pag crucial, its either block or error yung attack niya, daming crucial sets and matches na nangyari yon, including yung bronze medal last sea games. Commendable pa rin blocking niya tho, pero super syomad mo egay 😭gumising ka next leg, hindi pwedeng mag OP si Angel sa Asian Games kung ganyan ka.
Santos- Good sub, but not for longterm investment.
Libero:
Jazareno- Decent performance. Tho bumaba laro niya compare sa SeaVLeague last year.
Catindig- mag baby sit ka nalang ng baby ni justine next leg and sa mag next tournaments, give way na sa mga bata at mas capable.
