Miguel Angel Lopez

Havana, December 22 (RHC)-- Cuban Miguel Angel Lopez returned to the Brazilian Volleyball Super League with the same impetus he showed in the world club championship, where he was the most valuable player of the tournament won by his team Sada Cruzeiro.

Lopez was once again the mainstay against Apan Eleva, especially in the second set when he came back from a three-point deficit (21-24) and saved three match points to seal the challenge with scores of 25-16, 26-24 and 25-20.

In the match at the home of their rivals, the light blue team imposed its strength to achieve its eighth victory and secure the second place in the standings, behind Minas.

The Cienfuegos native was the top scorer with 13 points, including four convincing aces, all in the same second set, which places him second in this department with 14, and among the best in attack and scorers, according to his club's website.

López Castro was considered by popular vote the most outstanding player of the match to win the Viva Volei trophy once again.

Analyzing his excellent serving frequency in the second set, Miguel Angel commented to Sada's website that "they had a big advantage and I thought, "Come on, there's going to be a good serve". I just had confidence in my head and it worked, we managed to win the set."

"After that, we balanced ourselves and had the tranquility to finish the game. We are still very happy for the World Cup, we are a week after the title and we have a lot to celebrate. But we are already focused on the Superliga again and now we have to think about the next match".

Sada Cruzeiro returns home to close 2021 with its fans this Thursday when it hosts Vedacit Vôlei Guarulhos in Riachão, at 4:30 p.m. (local time) in the last round of the final round. It will be their first appearance at home after winning the Club World Cup for the fourth time on December 11.

Another Cuban of the national team, setter Adrian Goide, played all the regular time with his team Brasilia, which beat Fármaco Conde 3-2. Goide scored three times, twice by blocking and once by attacking.

His compatriot Michael Sánchez Bozhuleva "El Ruso" scored three points from spikes in the 3-1 victory of his team Minas over Azulim Gabarito.
