Italy - Serie A2 2017/18

  • Can you say something more about Morello? I really liked her in the WCh!
    Now I'm not following the matches since I don't have LVF TV (plus I'm not very good in judging setters) so I would love to have other infos about her ^^

  • ha. the ITA NT of the future will be half african!


    can someone tell me what is this club italia? is it a training group for the NT?


    Club Italia is not just a training group, it's a real team created by the Italian Federation with the most promising Italian youngsters from Youth and Junior NT in order to give them the possibility to grow by playing at high level in A1 or A2 and go to school at the same time. Age is usually between 15 and 19, but there are some exceptions for example the libero De Bortoli is 20.
    After 1 or 2 years in Club Italia, the best players normally start their professional career in a club of A1, like Egonu in Novara, Orro in Busto, and Pietrini next year in Scandicci.

  • Enweonwu blew up her knee against Soverato today ;( She landed with full weight on her left leg after an attack and her knee broke down, it looked quite terrible on the stream. I can't imagine any other diagnosis than torn ACL and probably several more damaged ligaments. I really hate when that happens to such young players :(

  • Yes she is, most of Club Italia titulars were titulars in the WCh as well ;) (only the libero and one of the three high ball spiker are different, since Populini is in Novar roster)


    I read she is doing well (even if - understandably - not as well as in the WCh) but I didn't watch on my own since I don't have LVFTV and I always have hard time watching facebook live streaming (they stop all the time...).


    Club Italia started very well but now is having an hard time winning; anyway I think they are/were the A2 best spiking team or close

  • Enweonwu blew up her knee against Soverato today ;( She landed with full weight on her left leg after an attack and her knee broke down, it looked quite terrible on the stream. I can't imagine any other diagnosis than torn ACL and probably several more damaged ligaments. I really hate when that happens to such young players :(


    As you predicted, multi-ligament lesions: crociates and perifericals ;(
    She will undergo surgery today, crossing my finger for her!
    Recover time to be evaluated.


    I'm afraid that will lower Club Italia chances to be a strong contender for the A1 passes... But if this years 'stars' will find space in A1 teams next season, I think for Club Italia will be better to remain in A2.

  • So many good teams in a bunch of points: Cuneso, S.Giovanni in Marignano, Soverato, Chieri, Mondovì and Ravenna. This year's championship looks much more balanced than the ones before, when one/two teams dominated the scene from the beginning till the end.

  • According to volleyball.it Orvieto and Collegno will also be play off teams


    https://www.volleyball.it/a2-f…-brescia-neo-promossa-a1/

  • Today Elisa Zanette was really good. She scored 21 points during two sets and after that setter tried to use another players. I think Zanette deserve to play in series A1. She is amazing. It was really easy passing to her and she almost killed every ball. It was first time I watched her game during this year, she really impressed me. I watched 3 sets of game and she seemed strong OPP in serie A2. Guilia Angelia is really disappointment. Her receive, defence and attack were awful. She made me think about her level again. I'm really impressed by Zanette and I'm gonna root for her instead of Angelina. Zanette made me remember Elisa Togut. Of course it is early and funny to compare young Elisa with Togut. But she is young I think if she goes on through this way she can be a huge named player in future.

  • Serie A2 final game is getting interesting. Both of teams won their home game. Elisa Zanette who played as hero last game, did not show anything today but instead Angelina played well, she scored with 23 points. I'm really surprised why these players are not stable :whistle: ?(

  • This final surprised me. I thought that Mondovì and Cuneo were the favorites, due to their roster and for what they've showed during the league. Instead we have S.Giovanni and Chieri fighting for the spot. I liked serie A2, way more balanced and uncertain this year..


    I only remember Zanette from Club Italia two years ago, I hope too she gets her chance in A1!
