Italy - Serie A1 2016/17

  • Adenizia reminds me of the Cuban middles, attacking rather high balls through the middle. But sooner or later the opponents adapt to the style, at some point she constantly had two blockers up against her and as Kk15 said, then the wing hitters got more balls and Scandicci had an easier job overall. But yesterday Adenizia's blocking performance was just outstanding :!:


    Exactly what I wanted to say.. you are absolutely right

  • And that exactly is the problem, Jelić retired at the age of 23 because she got fed up with volleyball, they need to pace Egonu properly. Hopefully, when she goes to a pro team she'll have other players around to share the burden.

    I think tha she retired at age of 26-27 ??


    Sorry :offtopic:


    Barbara Jelic got interview before year ago(i think), and She said that she was one of the best players in World very young and She lost motivation in her game, She knowed that her NT can't win Olympics or WCH..., She earned a lot of money and She wanted to have family as young women.

  • Are Folie and Tomsia injuried? or they lost their place in starting six? :?:
    I'm positively surprised by Bergamo and Bolzano so far. :thumbsup:

  • Mina Popovic is leading Bergamo with 18 points. If she keeps like this she will probably takes Stevanovic or Vejlokovic`s spot in the NT.


    I was just about to say that Stevanović should be worried about her place on the NT starting line-up if both keep up like this! Jovana has had a rather shaky start of the season, but she seems to have got going right now.

  • I watched game between Novara and Bergamo, Carlotta Gambi played instead of Djenkema and her game was good enough. I think Bergamo is back after long years ago and their games remind me of old Bergamo

  • Yep, Bergamo first and alone with three full points victories <3
    And they've already played vs two direct contestant, Novara and Scandicci.


    Also Pomì is unbeaten, but they played only two matches and lost a point in both, so they can get 3/3 victories as Foppa but not as many points.


    Bolzano got his first point, so right now only Montichiari is at zero, let see what will happen vs Busto.

  • Costagrande 19% in attack :gone: I am curious why Cella wasn't playing.

  • was there anything wrong with Tomsia ?( if not, then why didn't they tried with Ortolani on left or even with Tomsia on left but w/o reception ?!

  • Yes, it's a record! Wow! I would love to know the %


    But I'm very sorry Club Italia lost for so little :(


    The previous record belonged to Lioubov Sokolova who scored 42 points in A1 2009/10.
    And before her Zetova scored 40 points in A1 2000/01.
    Now Paola Egonu with 46 points is the best scorer ever in a single match of A1, and she is still 17 years old :what: She will turn 18 in december!

  • Suellen is also playing amazing in Bergamo! I hope she will be called again to the NT and I hope this time she accepts it.
