I think Italy with Zaytsev is one and without Zaytsev is another one . Italy loss its power without him . Without Zaytsev Italy turns to a OK team.
Re: @Harue Zaytsev will be a perfect aliby for Blengini
Zaytsev and Wallace are the 2 best OPP in the world, of course Italy is no the same without him. But still Italy has Gianelli $ Lanza.
Re: @Zhiglov Zaytsev plays as receiver, just for your information
Re: @Axe He played this season in Perugia as OH, but in the NT he plays OPP. Lanza&Juantorena recievers
