    I'm not sure what's the point of having Sokolov, Stokr and Visotto in the same team...

  • it's a mistake of volleyball.it, the site from which i've copied the rosters...
    Leandro Vissotto is clearly a player of Volei Futuro, in Brasil

  • Hi, Could you tell me about all rules of mercato? I mean for example, Is that true that if some team want to get some player, it must only pay for him? No cash exchange players between teams is impossible? Thanks for help.


    PS. Sorry for my poor english.

    Clubs and players are mostly waiting for the expiration of the contract and then signing players/changing clubs :drink:

  • According to these squads RPA Perugia lost the most... all best players left club and players that should be key players are newbies in A1 league. I'm very interested in RPA because my former NT colleague setter Zhukouski came in RPA on loan from Macerata. He is very, very young but his talent is just magnificent. IMO he is better setter than Steuerwald and I really hope to see him in starting six.


    As you can see there is only one club in the world for me - Itas Diatec Trentino (but that doesn't mean that I don+t follow other teams). I have great admiration for Stoychev but don't understand some of his moves/or club board moves. First they shouldn't let Winiarski go last year. Juantorena is world class player but except him and Kaziyski Trentino doesn't have quality replacement on spiker position. Della Lunga isn't such good spiker and new signing Bratoev is unexperienced and need to work a lot to fulfill his talent. Herpe left Trentino so it will be very interesting to see what will happen if Kaziyski or Juantorena pick up injury :whistle:


    Vissotto left team and his absence can't be replaced IMO, really don't know who allowed this :mad: . His replacement is Stokr :aww: and he is far away from Brazilian giant and Vissotto's easiness in play will miss Trentino very much. Stokr have had nice numbers in RPA but I really doubt in his abilities. Sokolov is much better player then Czech so I cheering Sokolov get into starting six.


    Piacenza lost very important Marshall, Meoni & Bjelica, while Bravo is grateful player in rotation. Also Urnaut & Matti Oivanen left team and Copra lost depht. Zlatanov is too old to play alone so I expect Nilsson will take most points in copra this season. Great player, very rational in attacck and one of the most constant players IMO. But to sum all Piacenza lost too many important players so I don't see chances to cope with Cuneo, Trentino, Sisley even Modena. I forgot to mention setter Gonzales, his talent isn't questionable but he is psycho :lol:


    Cuneo kept winning team so only Volkov, Carletti and Galić (also my NT colleague) came in. Well balanced team, strong block (duo Mastrangelo - Volkov looks impressive), world class setter, wide attacking options makes Cuneo No.1 favorite to defend title.


    Macerata after poor last season get new coach - Berruto with slight changes. Swiderski and Lebl left team but they were out whole last season so Macerata used to play without them. IMO their main power will be again axis Vermiglio-Omrčen. Serbian NT players Podraščanin & Stanković are good defensive duo and now Vadelux joined them. Surely will will watch better Macerata this season...


    From new players I wish point up few guys : Zhukouski (setter, RPA Perugia), Galić (spiker, B.B.L Cuneo), Anderson (spiker, Vibo Valentia), Pajenk (middle bloccer, Marmi Lanza Verona) and Starović (opposite, Andreoli Latina). Trust me if those guys get their chances we will enjoy :whistle:

  • I hope Sasha Starovic will do well as well as Galic, these players have the potential to be the future greats in the sport.

  • Copra Piacenza: what do you think of your team for this season? Opposite position seems to be well filled in. Do you think the second outside hitter in the starting line up will be Popp? Who is the setter?

    Setter will be Gonzales, who came from Vibo. Good setter but sometimes he isn't stabile :rolll: imo Popp will be second OH with Zlatanov :drink:

    i think we won't compete for the title at the end, but we are a very dangerous team that can finish regular season at 4th place and be very annoying for any team.
    considering that we have risk to see volleyball disappear from Piacenza it's good enough....
    i think the second outside hitter will be right the german Popp, he's much more stronger than cuban Ruiz and Jacopo Massari is a young guy from our young team so quite unexpert...

  • The volleyball team in Perugia faces some new changes again apart from the activities on the transfer market. The team's new name for the season will be RPA-LuigiBacchi.it San Giustino. They are moving from Perugia to play now in San Giustino in the Umbria region. I don't know the reasons behind this move, probably some of the Italians here could give us a hint, maybe it has something to do with the sponsors, or the town Perugia itself, but the situation seems exactly like the one that happened with Montichiari, which now plays in Monza.

    Female Team will change city too?

  • it San Giustino


    Someone is stealing all the serie A teams from their city ...

  • Did they change the rules regarding foreign players in A2? I saw there are only 2 foreigners per team this year, and last season there were much more.

  • Yeah, only 2 foreigners, better for young italian guys, I mean come on, most of them couldn't play A1 and then even in A2 they had many foreigners to compete against in the team, now they can gain experience!!!

    In a lower level league... In a way it would be a valid argument to say that Italy should bring its talents up to the level of the serie A and not the level of the serie A down to the level of the talents, but then it's really chicken and egg, because playing in a better league will make them better.... meh, we'll see. In the mean time, I guess I'll have to start watching the Turkish league to see my favorite players :S

  • Yeah, only 2 foreigners, better for young italian guys, I mean come on, most of them couldn't play A1 and then even in A2 they had many foreigners to compete against in the team, now they can gain experience!!!

    This decision makes sense. It will lower the level of all teams in A2, though.

  • Popp is really doing good for Piacenza in friendly matches

  • Copra Morpho Piacenza - Acqua Paradiso Monza 0-3
    (23-25, 21-25, 19-25)


    this result can easily be explained: Monza is a very very good team who moreover plays together since many years(except few changes)
    Piacenza is a totally new team, who needs time and time to gain confidence, feeling between the players and so on
    and yesterday these important facts were clearly evident on the court
    anyway i saw some good signals from my team, so i'm still confident that this group of guys can compete for a 4th-5th place at the end of regular season :)
    and don't forget Trento in 2007-2008 season: they began with a 0-3 vs Cuneo loosing every set in a very bad way...at the end of the year they won their only italian title...
    so often the first matches of a championship are not so important to understand the real strength of a team


    p.s: Monza is really good in my opinion, they can do really well
