GOLD IN EDMONTON Edmonton, Canada, July 21, 2019 – The FIVB Beach Volleyball World Championships’ title celebration is not over yet for Sarah Pavan and Melissa Humana-Paredes as the Canadians secured the gold medal of the $150,000 Edmonton Open on Sunday and became the first in their nation to top the podium in their home sand. The top-seeded Pavan and Humana-Paredes concluded a week of complete domination at the Northlands Park, in which they won all their six matches without dropping any sets, by posting a 21-11, 21-16 triumph over USA’s second-seeded Emily Day and Betsi Flint in the final. “We were so excited to be playing here the entire week,” Pavan commented. “We were so honored to be able to play a World Tour event at home as it doesn’t happen so often. And to win the first medal for a Canadian team in home soil, it’s just amazing.” It was the fourth victory of a Canadian team in five World Tour finals against American duos, including the one of Pavan and Humana-Paredes over April Ross and Alix Klineman at the World Championships gold medal match. Photo Pavan dives for the Mikasa in the Edmonton gold medal match The 32-year-old Pavan and the 26-year-old Humana Paredes have also secured 600 Olympic qualifying points for the Tokyo 2020 Summer Games and will split the $10,000 first-place prizes. “Look at how packed this stadium is,” Humana-Paredes exclaimed after their victory. “It was so much fun to play in front of our home fans this week. It was easy to tell that everyone here really appreciates beach volleyball and we could feel it on the court in every match.” It was the fifth title for the Canadian stars in 28 FIVB events following victories in Porec in 2017, Xiamen and Gstaad in 2018 and the World Championships two weeks ago. Pavan and Humana-Paredes also triumphed at the 2018 Commonwealth Games, the first edition of the event to feature beach volleyball tournaments. The bronze medal of the Edmonton Open went to Japanese Azusa Futami and Akiki Hasegawa, who triumphed over Australians Nicole Laird and Becchara Palmer 21-19, 21-17 to win their second World Tour medal as a team.

BEELER & KRATTIGER WIN FIRST SWISS GOLD IN 13 YEARS Edmonton, Canada, July 21, 2019 – Tenth-seeded Marco Krattiger and Nico Beeler placed Switzerland at the top of the podium of the men’s tournament of a FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour event for the first time 2006 as the Europeans topped Canadians Ben Saxton and Grant O’Gorman 21-15, 23-25, 15-8 at the gold medal match of the $150,000 Edmonton Open. The 25-year-old Krattiger and the 26-year-old Beeler are the first Swiss team to win a World Tour event since Patrick Heuscher and Stefan Kobel secured a gold medal in Roseto degli Abruzzi, Italy, in June 2006. It was the first medal for the duo since they started their partnership in 2017 and also the first individual medal for both players. “I don’t know when, but I know it was a long time ago,” Krattiger said when asked when it was the last time a Swiss team had taken gold in a World Tour event. “I had goosebumps during the match and when we heard the national anthem. Last night when I went to bed I imagined myself with the gold medal around my neck and know I have it. Every time I saw a World Tour medal I wanted to touch it and feel it’s incredible that now I have my own.” The Swiss were put through a really tough test as they faced a packed center court at the Northlands Park which was all behind local heroes Saxton and O’Gorman. To Beeler, despite of the ups and downs during the match and of missing a match point in the second set, the difference was that the Europeans made big plays in the most important moments of the match. “It feels like a perfect day for us,” Beeler explained. “This match was a good summary of what our last months have been. As times we played great but at the times we weren’t good at all, but the main thing is that we kept our level really high in the big moments and I’m proud of it. When we play like this, we know there’s a good chance we’ll end up with the gold medals.” Photo Beeler spikes against Saxton's block in the Edmonton Open final The Edmonton Open podium featured a second North American duo as USA’s Stafford Slick and Billy Allen posted a 21-13, 21-16 win over Italy’s Alex Ranghieiri and Marco Caminati to secure the bronze medal, their second as a team in just 11 World Tour events. The Americans are in good form this summer after getting a top-ten finish at the World Championships two weeks ago in Hamburg. “We’ve been hitting our stride,” Slick commented. “It’s midseason form and that’s where we wanted to be. We always enter tournaments with the goal of getting to the podium and we managed to do it here, so it was great fun. It’s always tough to bounce back after losing in the semifinals, so to turn it around and come back and beat a great team like Italy, it was really fun.” Continue on https://www.fivb.com/en/about/news/beeler--krattiger-win-first-swiss-gold?id=86142

VIDEO ESPINHO GOLD FOR ALISON & ALVARO FILHO; PLAVINS STEALS THE HEARTS Photo Alison & Alvaro Filho rejoice with the Espinho trophies Espinho, Portugal, July 21, 2019 – Alison Cerutti & Alvaro Morais Filho emerged victorious from a spectacular all-Brazilian three-set final to triumph with the gold medals at the Espinho four-star stop on the FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour. This is the second World Tour medal for 33-year-old Alison and 28-year-old Alvaro Filho after the two teamed up three months ago. The first one was also gold, from the Kuala Lumpur three-star in May. Andre Loyola Stein & George Souto Maior Wanderley had to settle for silver. For the team of 24-year-old Andre and 22-year-old George this is also the second medal on the Tour, after the bronze from this year’s Jinjiang four-star. The big hero of the day, however, was 34-year-old Latvian Martins Plavins. Despite sustaining a foot injury in the bronze medal game, he not only persevered through the rest of the match, but also became the major contributor to the victory, which lifted him and his teammate Edgars Tocs of the 12th-seeded pair in the main draw to the podium. This is the third World Tour medal for the Latvian duo, after the Hague gold and the Kish Island silver in early 2018. Photo The men’s podium at Espinho The first set of the final was an even battle through 8-8. After that 10th-seeded Alison & Alvaro Filho broke away with five in a row on Alison’s serve and never looked back to close the set off by an eight-point margin. With some spectacular moves on both sides of the net, seventh-seeded Andre & George opened up a slight lead in the second set and gradually extended it to six point as Andre hammered the overpass to close the set and prompt a tie-breaker. The deciding set was mostly about Alison’s sheer power, in both spiking and blocking, but he would often surprise the opponents with a gentle touch. One way or another, the 2016 Olympic champion and two-time Olympic medallist drove his team to the top – 2-1 (21-13, 15-21, 15-9). “We are very happy with this gold medal, because we only started playing together three months ago. We had a win in a three-star tournament, and in a four-star, which is very good. We are evolving very fast and showing a lot of happiness on the field,” commented Alison after the victory in the final. “Playing here at Espinho is great because the Portuguese people are a lot like the Brazilian people and they live through these beach volleyball games with their hearts.” “We had already achieved the bronze medal on the World Tour. Now we achieved silver. I believe we are on the way to win gold next,” Andre stated. “Portugal is a country that is so special to us. There are a lot of Brazilians here, we get a lot of support and we feel at home. The food is also very good and this is very important for the athletes.” Edgars Tocs’s fantastic blocking made the big difference in the first set of the bronze medal match against 18th-seeded Chilean cousins Marco Grimalt & Esteban Grimalt. In the second set, Marco Grimalt started finding solutions to that problem and the battle was quite tight. At 11-10 Latvia’s way Martins Plavins suffered a foot injury. Despite the pain, he opted to continue the match after the medical time-out. Under the applause of the packed stadium, Plavins was amazing the most efficient player on the court through the end of the match. Almost dragging the injured foot over the sand, he made a number of smart moves that pooled his team forward. In a remarkable epilogue, the 2012 Olympic bronze medallist even spiked successfully for the last two points of his team and fixed the Latvian victory at 2-0 (21-13, 21-18). Photo Injured Plavins assisted off the court by his teammate Tocs after winning the bronze medal match “Maybe I should have gotten the injury in the first match and now we would be playing in the final,” Plavins joked immediately after being assisted into the doctor’s office, and added: “After playing three games yesterday, we were really tired and very stressed before today’s semifinal, because it’s the first one for us this year. We wanted so much to get a medal that we couldn’t sleep all night. Maybe that’s we played very badly in the morning. Then we got more relaxed and it got better in the second game, but then I had the injury. We were leading and you never know when you will play next for the bronze, so I thought we had to fight till the end. The bronze for us is very good. We’re so happy because we worked hard for it.” The Chileans battled on to sweep away an early Brazilian lead in the first set of the semifinal clash between the Grimalts and Andre & George and level the score at 9-9. This only prompted the Brazilian players to increase the pressure and regain control on the way to a 21-17 win. The cousins reacted well and opened a solid early lead in the second. Their downfall started when they disputed a referee call to receive a red card. Still, at 17-14, the Chileans looked close to levelling the game, but also much less concentrated than earlier in the set. Andre & George took advantage of it and finished the match at 2-0 (21-17, 21-17) on a spectacular seven-point streak. In the first set of their semifinal match, Plavins & Tocs could not hold on to a solid six-point lead they managed to accumulate. With some high-flying attacks by Alvaro Filho, supported by Alison’s great blocking, the Brazilians not only caught up at 18-18, but also edged ahead to a 21-19 win. There was no stopping them in the second set. Riding the momentum, the South American duo established complete domination on the court and cruised to the final with Alvaro Filho’s off-the-net shot shaping off the 21-15 final score.

THE TRIANGLE MIDFIELD, A PREVALENT SHAPE IN ALL FORMATIONS Posted by Rudy Glez By Robert Podeyn The triangle midfield is a prevalent shape in many different formations, so this explanation will just focus on the triangle midfield in a 1-4-3-3 System. In addition, The triangle can be set in different combinations, but for the purpose of this article I will focus on one attacking central midfielder (#10) and two holding central midfielders (#6 and #8). The first thing to understand is that in possession the spacing between the triangle midfield players is approximately 12-15 yards. This is an average and will also vary based upon situations in the game and even what the opposing team is playing for their formation (it may tend to be wider if you are playing a 1-4-2-3-1 formation to play around the defensive midfielders in this system. This is in possession, of course. Continue on https://futbol1v1.com/integrated-training-a-way-to-develop-the-individual-using-football-as-a-tool-2/
