Italy - Serie A1 2014/15

Quote from USAvolleyfan

I don't agree.. maybe that's her personal best but it is not good enough to be called strong.. she's not bad, only regular

Even regular passing should enable Setter to give ballz to MBs and it would be just a crime not using MBs like these two

Sorry, I'm
a fan of foppapedretti Bergamo someone can give me some information on the
twelfth player who should get to complete the team? Thank you!

I think it will be the second libero.

I think it will be the second libero.

I do not
think it will be a free but a hitter who can also play the opposite .. But I
honestly do not know who?!?

There was a rumour about Annamaria Quaranta in Foppa but I doubt it's true.

Unendo Yamamay Busto Arsizio – Foppapedretti Bergamo: 2-1

Sets: 25-21, 20-25, 25-22

Unendo Yamamay Busto Arsizio: Camera, Perry 6, Michel 15, Pisani 9, Havelkova 28, Marcon 12, Leonardi (L), Degradi 7, Rania 1

Foppapedretti Bergamo: Radecka, Sylla, Deesing, Melandri, Blagojevic, Loda, Merlo (L), Mori, Mambelli, Tasca, Marini

Busto Arsizio's Rebecca Perry will play as italian, so the team will have more options to use. According to the rule, 3 italians MUST be playing on court, so most likely Perry, Leonardi and Diouf will be counted as local players...and Marcon can help with reception as sub. They played a friendly match against Bergamo and Parisi used Pisani, Michel as MBs...not sure if he will take Bogacheva as starter, don't really think so personally.

I really doubt the strongest passer from Serie A1 won't be starter in her team. Marcon will be playing regularly for sure. IMHO Perry and Havelkova will share the court.

IMO Conegliano is quite strong team to be champion. The only problem is how Ozsoy and Fiorin will pass.

Tomorrow, Foppapedretti Bergamo and Unendo Yamamay Busto Arsizio will play a match to decide who will face Pìacenza in Supercup Final Saturday.

UNENDO YAMAMAY BUSTO ARSIZIO: Degradi, Rania, Michel, Leonardi, Marcon, Perry, Camera, Diouf, Wolosz, Havelkova, Pisani, Lyubushkina. All. Carlo Parisi.
FOPPAPEDRETTI BERGAMO: Mori, Deesing, Loda, Pillepich, Blagojevic, Merlo (L), Melandri, Radecka, Plak, Mambelli, Sylla, Tasca. All. Stefano Lavarini.

FIPAV excluded Ornavasso from A1 for not paying 30% of the players salary last season.

Well done by FIPAV, this kind of attitude from clubs cant go on.....

but will be a important loss for Italian league, the team had some very good players.

Looks like Forli will take the place of Ornavasso...

cant wait... is busto arsizio's site streaming the game?

UNENDO YAMAMAY BUSTO ARSIZIO - FOPPAPEDRETTI BERGAMO 3-1 (29-27, 22-25, 25-22, 25-21)
UNENDO YAMAMAY BUSTO ARSIZIO: Lyubushkina 5, Degradi 2, Michel 1, Leonardi (L), Marcon 12, Camera, Diouf 27, Wolosz 2, Havelkova 15, Pisani 5. Non entrate Rania, Perry, Aelbrecht, Angelina Giulia. All. Parisi.

I couldn't watch that match but it seems like there's a great atmosphere between all the players in Busto and they seem to be very motivated to win the title this year They have better hitters (Havelkova, Diouf, Rania and Perry) than Piacenza and Marcon is as you already know the best receiver in Italy. Last year their reception was a bit shaky since Marcon and Leonardi had to cover Buijs but now they no longer have that duty. Wolosz became stronger after one season in Italy, Diouf is far better than Ortolani in every aspect, so why not?

Their MBs aren't really strong enough on the other hand, Lyubushkina(harder name to spell than Shlyakhovaya ) just got there, Pisani is a good blocker but a poor attacker yet, Michel maybe the best option among these three. I wish Alebrecht was healthy, then their last puzzle should have been filled.

Apparently Zago and Diouf are the only good italian starter OPPs in the italian league this year.

Piacenza - Van Hecke
Busto Arsizio - Diouf
Conegliano - Nikolova
Novara - Barun
Modena - Fabris
Bergamo - Plak (Will she play as non-receiving OH?)
Cassalmaggiore - Zago
