    THE NEW PALY OFF FORMULA --> Italy - Serie A 2011-2012


    THE OFFICIAL CALENDAR --> Italy - Serie A 2011-2012




    Raisport will broadcast the SerieA1 for others two year. The saturday match will be at 17.30 (5.30 p.m.) (not 16.00), the sunday match at 17.30 (not 18.00). I didn't understand if only the match trasmitted by Rai will be at 17.30, of every match will be played at 17.30

  • Looking at this I can say that it is the best answer for a question why Italian Serie A is the best league in the Europe :whistle:
    Hubert Henno :love:


  • Verona official roster:


    Setters: Marco Meoni, Luca Calderan (Sisley) Opposite: Gasparini, Kosmina OHs: Kromm (GER), Popp (GER), ter Horst (NED), Matteo Casarin + Bolla recovering from the knee injurie MBs: Aidan Zingel (AUS), Stefano Patriarca (Castellana Grotte), Daniele Postiglioni (Club Italia) Libero: Lorenzo Smerilli

    Mitja ;( I'm gonna miss him so much. Great guy and great player :heart: Good luck in Verona, Jastrzębski's gonna miss you a lot.
    But...since we'll have Michał Łasko, I'm kinda comforted :rolll:

  • I guess, that Lasko is as crazy as Gasparini, so in JW will be next expressive player :super: :woohoo:


    Gasparini? Fantastic person and player, when he is in good form nothing can stop him. I will remember - "Kończ Gasparini" :lol:

  • I added Macerata! :cheesy:

    Gasparini? Fantastic person and player, when he is in good form nothing can stop him. I will remember - "Kończ Gasparini" :lol:


    I guess that he will be enough crazy, yes :lol:


    But not as Exiga :lol:

  • Is Portuondo back to Roma this season?


    Simeonov in Padova? Alex Simeonov??? 8|

    No, Ventzislav Simeonov. :D Who is Alex Simeonov? I'm curious... 8o

    Successo viene prima di Sudore soltanto nel vocabolario.

  • Oh, God :aww: I've completely forgot about Ventzi :aww:
    Aleksandar Simeonov is a BUL OH. He played in France at last as far as I rememmber, I think in Nice ?( if I am not mistaken...


    He is from Levski!

  • Trento and Macerata will be setting up the pace in Serie A1 this year. It will be interesting in the bottom part of the table as well- Latina, Padova, Verona, Vibo Valentia, Ravenna they all look equally weak, imo. San Giustino's team look very good- good coach, good players. They can easily finish in top4.

  • I agree about San Giustino, I'll definitly be interested in their championship! I expect a lot from them, crossing my finger! :dance6:


    Piacenza could be a nice team too...


    And of course I expect Trento and Macerata, and also Cuneo, to be on the top. Cuneo is weaker than last season (Vissotto <<<< Nikolov) but still really interesting, with Henno, Grbic, N'gapeth, Wjisman... and Fortunato is not Volkov but he was titoular when Cuneo won the italian championship, so ^^ But last year it was always "Cuneo, Trento are the strongest, with Macerata a little bit under them", this year is probably different...



    About Portuondo, I don't understand well, because I read on 'Gazzetta dello sport' blog that he will be "fermo" (stop)... And after all Roma has 5 OH with him...

  • The new play off formula


    Quarterfinal


    12 teams organized in 4 pools: A 1°,8°,12° (they will play in 1°team home); B 2°,7°,11°(2° team home); C 3°,6°,10° (3° team home); D 4°, 5°, 9° (4° team home)

    date: 12-15-18 April



    Semifinal Challenge Cup


    Second of pool A vs second of pool D; second of pool B vs second of pool C (if they are already qualificated for CL, will be the third. In case also the third is already qualificated for CL, will be the team with best position in regoular season between the other thirds of the pools)


    date: 12-15-18 April


    Final (V-Day)


    date: 22 April




    Final Challenge CUP


    at home of the team with the best position in regoular season between the two teams that won the challenge cup semifinal

    date:
    21 April

  • Yeah thsi years league seems to be a very strong and interesting one! I don't really see a clearly weaker team. I wonder how Treviso will trun out.. I think considering circumstances they'd kept a pretty strong team, though not a very broad selection... so they can't use any injuries. Can't wait to see more of Vacundo Conté :)

  • Gosh. UMBRIA VOLLEY SAN GIUSTINO rocks!
    Facundo Conte + Starović :cheesy:


    and Fefè! and Creus!! :obey: :cheesy:


    About San Giustino I'm just sorry because Uriarte didn't join the team, I'd LOVE to see him and Facu playing togheter *.*


    And I think it would be the perfect team to grown up in Italy for him, because it's a young team, because Fefè is the coach, because he can play with Facu... A perfect environment! Fefè seemed quite sorry when he spoke about that question as commentator of final8...


  • What Challenge Cup? CEV or Italian :?: From when has Italy Challenge Cup :?:

    No, they are play off to qualify for Challenge Cup. ;)
