Reacting to ZAKSA vs. Sir Safety Susa Perugia Volleyball 2023 CEV Champions League Semifinals

[@giladb9432]

Before this series I thought Perugia were the clear favorites, but damn, you played so well! David Smith was a beast this game

[@equilibrio_esperanza]

i mean zaksa is 2 times consecutive champions league winner... going for the 3rd now..

[@marcindymek7078]

I'm proud that you and David play in Poland!😊

[@Martavolleyball]

tak = yes❤

[@joeykristi2964]

Love following you Erik! I always look for the zaksa highlights! You make Hawaii so proud 💚🤙🏻

[@andrzejszczepanik9945]

Great game by you and Professor David Smith against Perugia !

[@rafakoszek5049]

Hi Eric, I hope all is good with your ankle. Good luck with Resovia!

[@ErikShojivolleyball]

Thank you! Foot is feeling better.

[@sarqusian]

Good job guys, great game🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@lilnbigman]

This was the match David blocked served and kept the team on fire! Guys just remember one point at a time up or down. Live in the moment working "together" as one. Then the match will be yours.

[@pomaranczowakredka3296]

Yay, the semi with Perugia, I was waiting for this one :) Hope you feel better, Erik, it was so heartbreaking to watch the quarterfinals of Plusliga, knowing how exhausted all of you guys were. The schedule is ridiculous for teams playing in European Cups :< And yet you managed to win, congrats!

[@jasper909]

Good luck in the plus liga and the CEV finals next month! When I heard about VNL coming to Rotterdam I checked the schedule hoping the US national team would play and there it was.. POL vs USA. Got front row tickets immediately so I can hopefully see you play! Big fan and really looking forward to hearing your celebrations on the court in real life haha

[@sebastiaog9006]

wow both middles were huge Zaksa this match! Great video Eri keep it up, thank you!

[@cassiewang4190]

Let's go Erik❤

[@dzidziolus]

David's block on Leon's pipe in the 2nd set was such a beauty. Leon wasn't the same after that block.

[@OzzyTragic]

Love your work Erik, these matches were great to watch, the teamwork and belief that Zaksa showed was unreal. Good luck in the finals season!

[@aleksandrazgudziak8131]

Love you Erik, goodluck in upcoming matches

[@ErikShojivolleyball]

Thanks!

[@mateuszn4895]

Hi, Erik. I always look forward to your videos with reactions because they give an interesting perspective of a player, which is different from the perspective of a fan watching a match. I recommend making an appointment with some JW player (I think Fornal would be willing) and together they commented on the Champions League final. Good luck in Rzeszów!

[@maximmatveev5817]

Love the commentary thank you so much for teaching a normie like me about the ins and outs of pro level volleyball, had to google half the terms used ))

[@siatkomania8478]

Congratulations! See you in Turin!

[@realitycheck_]

Erik I hope you and the team could rest up after this crazy schedule you had. Congrats on crazy good games and important games you guys played and succeeded. It's incredible what you guys do in Zaksa! GL in PlusLiga semis and CL Final!

[@damiankowalewski6395]

Good luck at the Resovia matchs i be on 3 match in Kędzierzyn

[@matrysiaajestem4506]

Love your videos! You reacting videos are so good! ❤❤❤

[@leszekzietkiewicz4744]

Erik what have you all done vs Peruggia and Warsaw, it was amazing. Keep it good work :)

[@tomasznasiowski5075]

thanks Eric, we've been waiting for this :)

[@batnozturk7507]

what a game!!!!

[@Unfiltered494]

Everyone in Poland is now basically talking about how Zaksa's winner mentality is simply unbreakable, after you guys came back in the 2nd match against Warsaw people started saying that if Projekt didn't manage to stop you then, noone will lol! What do you think the secret to Zaksa's mental strength is?

[@MaMa-de2ge]

flaki i kaszanka

[@Jenna-xt7ni]

Really seasoned players

[@Zismoisgod]

Maybe a hot take but I like that the matches are played in their entirity. There's people probably paying for tickets to watch those matches, and even when its done as far as getting to the finals goes, they still got a ticket for the match and not just the two sets. I can see how it is frustrating for players as you already got the result, and I reckon it's especially rough on Perugia. Yet it can also be good for the players that get less playtime on a regular base!

[@winstonwu4622]

I can't imagine how scary it must be still being so high up with Leon coming from the pipe. Getting hit can't be helped sometimes but man it's a survival choice when it comes to Leon 😂

[@zofiabobrowna1833]

All the best for you,you are a fantastic volleyball player,a super nice person💗

[@adub22]

Can’t wait for VNL this summer in Anaheim! I wanna see all you guys!!?

[@francescoanversa4972]

Congratulations Erik! 👏👏👏

[@Martavolleyball]

Fajnie że ty i Dawid gracie w polskim klubie ❤ pewnie nie zrozumiesz ale po angielaku za bardzo nie umiem 😢

[@toeiityy5865]

Hope you guy good luck with Resovia n Jastrzębski Węgiel Really excited to see you and Smith in nation team!!!

[@lol78574]

These blocks from Smith were amazing in this match.

[@antoniob.7440]

Congratulations Erik you are amazing!!! Can we get some merch going so I can wear it to watch you in Paris??

[@radekwejda5088]

Good to have you in Poland. I remember when Zator had left Zaksa and I was thinking who can be the best choice and the choice could be only the one - Eric Shoji :). I remember the semi-final POL - USA and the words of that match's commentator: What the hell you are doing please do not server on Shoji... :) you are the best receiver and you still are... Greetings from Poland.

[@siofo5706]

Amazing subtitles

[@clydeacosta4054]

Smith was a beast in that series.

[@pr3tend3r-01]

its nice the "practice team" got a chance to play

[@michajastrzebski3669]

Maybe video from some Projekt Warszawa games?

[@OzzyTragic]

Also nice to here you talking in metres 😊

[@sho7078]

Next Milano vs Perugia game 5.

[@taifun11]

Hi Eric. You are great libero💪 Are you staying ZAKSA in 2023/24?

[@arwena1659]

He is staying. :)

[@faust-cr3jk]

I don't think that Perugia played their best game. But, as a stauch Zaksa fan, I firmly believe that you would have won this semifinal even if they had been in their top notch form. Good luck with Asseco today and see you in Turin on 20th May!

[@gissneric]

Can't wait for NT season coming up soon!

[@yoshephtamang7936]

I would love it if you could react to perugia vs milano 5th playoff game in the quarterfinals... I love your reactions

[@lalanas.9166]

Lovely🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇹🇭🇹🇭

[@valeriaiturralde4173]

Hi Eric! Could you send us a link where we can watch your matches? I live in South America and I can't find any free link. PD: I’m big fan of Zaksa!

[@aleoxios]

hey erik, could you explain why an out of system set should be tight and inside?

[@ErikShojivolleyball]

Yes so in general we like to set our out of system sets tighter and a little more inside. We have found that this gives the hitter a higher chance of either killing the ball or maybe recycling it back to our side. I think you’ll see almost every pro team set like this out of system especially as the ball gets further from the net.

[@sumljivc]

@@ErikShojivolleyball "especially as the ball gets further from the net" exactly, because if you set the ball close to the antenna the hitter will have a hard time hitting because of the angle the ball is coming from. SO it makes total sense to set the ball inside so that the hitter can have a better view of the ball and the opposite court.

[@aleoxios]

@@ErikShojivolleyball i see thanks for this! always thought that it would be better to place it right at its spot even out of system

[@noctapro6188]

Hey I'm new to this channel and playing volleyball for my second year running, I was just wondering if you had any advice on how to improve on my receives?

[@winstonwu4622]

Currently who do you think are the top 5 setters competing?

[@EvanMHodge]

I’ve had a lot of my team mates telling me that i need to break my platform when I receive to better control the pass. How do i go about doing that?

Hello! Does anyone know where I can watch (legally) the PlusLiga and the Italian Superlega internationally? I only have VBTV and EuroVolley. Someone please help haha

[@isaakbrummund1870]

Where can I watch your games?

[@DotepenecPL]

To be fair, Perugia let a few lads rest, too. Semeniuk, Piccinelli, Herrera played on, though. And winning for 3 points in their own court at that stage was quite something anyway.

Reaction final seagames 2023

[@anillo0]

Zaksa didnt really show their best performance in the beginning of the season but they kept getting better and better. Also bednorz became a key player after joining to team. I guess that is the result of being a winner team. Zaksa in mens vakıfbank in womens such 2 winner teams

[@loverofemptiness2672]

Bednorz is a key player in every club he joins (Zaksa, Modena, Zenith Kazan, etc.). I remember (can be found on KZbin) the Seperlegi match between Modena and Perugia. It was at a time when Zaytsev and Christensen played for Modena. The way Bednorz played among all these stars was epic. He is a world-class player and is currently one of the best in his position

Hi. Did you know that ZAKSA is called cyborgs because you don't have a nervous system? If you keep playing like this, no one in the world will want to play with you. You will exhaust every opponent. ZAKSA is power. 💪💪😂😂

Perugia been dropping the ball lately losing hard to both zaksa and milano

[@artos607]

Figured this would happen after you guys beat Trento, both you guys and trento were playing too well to lose to anyone.
