Men’s Club World Championship Dream Team
Most Valuable Player: Miguel Angel Lopez (Sada Cruzeiro)
Best Setter: Fernando ‘Cachopa’ Kreling (Sada Cruzeiro)
Best Opposite: Wallace de Souza (Sada Cruzeiro)

The MVP of the 2021 FIVB Volleyball Nations League, star opposite Wallace de Souza produced nine points (even kills) for the winners. The 34-year-old Olympic champion veteran returned to Sada Cruzeiro ahead of the 2021-2022 season after five years playing for other clubs and won his third world title with the Betim side.

Two young Lube players reached double digits in scoring in the final match of the tournament – Cuban outside hitter Marlon Yant, who scored 11 points, all in kills, and Puerto Rican opposite Gabriel Garcia, who reached the same amount with nine kills and two aces.

“We feel like we accomplished our mission here,” middle blocker Isac Santos reflected. “We knew it wasn’t going to be easy, but we gave everything we had and we earned it. We never expected a 3-0 victory in the final, but we know that when we’re focused, we’re really hard to beat. We approached every match as a final and played with a lot of intensity and focus.”

Sada Cruzeiro also dominated the tournament’s Dream Team with four of the seven selected players. Besides Lopez and Wallace, the hosts also had setter Fernando ‘Cachopa’ Kreling and middle blocker Otavio Pinto in the ideal lineup. Lube’s Robertlandy Simon (middle blocker) and Fabio Balaso (libero) and Trentino’s Alessandro Michieletto (outside hitter) completed the team.

The triumph was also remarkable for head coach Filipe Ferraz, who captained Sada Cruzeiro to their first three world titles as a player. Appointed as the team’s new coach following his retirement at the end of the last club season, the 41-year-old Filipe celebrated his third title as a coach after victories in the Mineiro Championship and the Brazilian Supercup.

“Not even in my greatest dreams could I have expected such a great start to my coaching career," he said. "Winning the Club World Championship after just six months as a coach is unbelievable. I can only thank the club, the coaching staff and the players as they believed my ideas from the first minute and worked hard for it. I’m really proud to continue defending Sada Cruzeiro. Very few teams get to be world champions and we’re really proud to be one of them.”

Five-time world champions Trentino finished third in Betim to secure their eighth medal in the tournament and their third bronze after they swept (25-18, 25-18, 25-18) Brazil’s FUNVIC – Fundação Universitária Vida Cristã a few hours ahead of the final.
