Invent????? Do know the history of volleyball? This ‘2nd tempo’ is an old attack! It’s from 80’s. Douglas Cordeiro did this wirh William Arjona at the Cruzeiro team and with Mauricio at Minas.
Also andrea gardini and luchetta did it in the italian team
Whoever wrote that this is a new invention need to watch more volleyball from the old days,precisely late 80s early 90s!!!
Pls guys dont be rude with the autor of this article, why always we put in evidence peoples mistakes than praises the good articles that this page bring to us. He clearly didnt know that, Simon performs this since 2009 World league when he used for the first time in conjunction with his former teammate and setter Raydel Hierrezuelo then he did it again in Italy with De cecco as a Setter is a common move created in the 80s nothing special but requires a MB that actually can jump and not very tall for the element of surprise.
Invented?? Not at all ! I started to play volleyball in 1998. and in Serbia we call this attack ‘elevator’.
80th? go back in 70th guys! this attack has a name: Morita. The Player who invent this at first was a national player of Japan – winning Gold in OG 1972 (still a life, thanks got). We learned this attack as boys in schools late 70th :))
I’m pretty sure Simon did this back in Korea last season
