MANILA, Philippines — Choco Mucho head tactician Dante Alinsunurin decided to give limited minutes to import Zoi Faki, during their match against the ZUS Coffee Thunderbelles.
The Flying Titans finally ended their two-game losing streak after a 14-25, 25-20, 25-19, 25-18 against the Thunderbelles in the Premier Volleyball League (PVL) 2024 Reinforced Conference at the PhilSports Arena in Pasig on Saturday, July 27.
Faki played as a starter, and only returned in the last stretch of the fourth frame, scoring four points.
While the purpose of the Reinforced Conference is to banner the imports, Alinsunurin decided to give "rest" to the Faki as this is the best decision that he sees as of the moment
"I doubted today on how she plays. Our situation in the first set, we lacked on defense. That's where I saw that Zoi is not ready yet for these types of situations. That is when me and my coaching staff decided to switch players, and give rest to her," Alinsunurin told the press.
"I really trust my first six of players, Dindin (Santiago-Manbat) entered the second frame, and she is easier to guide since I knew her before. Our situation is different today."
In their first two games against Cignal and Akari, Faki scored 13 and 14 points, respectively.
The Flying Titans look to take another win against the Capital 1 Solar Spikers on August 1, at 3 p.m., at the same venue.
