A couple of matches in a role of libero and she'll become much better at her usual position. Just like Alice Blom recently, he-he

What a horrible season for Asystel. I can't see any of their matches, so I have to wonder what's wrong with them. Is Valeskinha really as useless as the stats seem to indicate?

So far Pesaro's performance has been flawless. I hope they keep on doing the good job and eventually win the Championship. Anyway, for the sake of Brazil's National Team it would be nice if Pesaro loses in the quarterfinals already! Then Sheilla (and maybe Mari) would be able to join the National Team with at least a month in advance! I hope Murcia loses in the quarterfinals too! LOL! This year is an OG's year!

Some users posted Novara's matches on the forum, maybe if you can download it, you'll see by yourself
I think Valeskinha is doing very well receiving, but attacking But there's not a replacement (an ideal, at least) for her right now, so I'd keep her on court (Nnamani is doing nothing and Barcellini -- is this her name? -- doesn't seem very good as well).

Besides that I'm glad about Pesaro
On the other hand I think it'll be very good for brazilians to reach a final of a Scudetto... they need to learn something about decisive matches
(and Murcia couldn't lose so easily in the Spanish league even if they tried )

Luciano Pedulla is a new coach of Asystel Novara.

Yesterday the first quarterfinals of the Playoffs were played. Let's see what happened:

Unicom Starker Kerakoll Sassuolo vs Scavolini Pesaro = 1-3 (19-25; 23-25; 25-21; 22-25) stats

Monte Schiavo Banca Marche Jesi vs Asystel Volley Novara = 3-1 (25-22; 21-25; 25-18; 25-19) stats
Tena Santeramo vs Foppapedretti Bergamo = 0-3 (15-25; 14-25; 17-25) stats
Yamamay Busto Arsizio vs Despar Perugia = 2-3 (17-25; 25-23; 26-28; 25-22; 15-17) stats

I watched Novara vs Jesi and I saw a Novara in crisis. The only player that played great was Skowronska. Berg is not in shape, Valeskinha and Osmokrovic didn't receive nor attack well. Anzanello and Paggi were ok, but nothing particular, but the bad reception and setting didn't help. Jesi on the other hand served really well, Rinieri was just superb (she has to return in NT if she plays like that!!!), Negrini and Bown were great too. Unfortunately Togut played poorly.

Zoppas Industries Conegliano finishes the season on top of A2 and wins the promotion into the elite. I'm very happy for Jovana Brakocevic, who is the best scorer of the league. Still, I hope she goes to a bigger club next season.

Yesss! I knew it, starting from the middle of the season, that she can get to A1 by the natural way, with her team winning the A2. As a scorer, she just didn't give even a little chance to the pursuers, passing ahead of the second place with an advantage of 70(!) points. She scored 5,91 points per set, it's more than Carmen Turlea in the A1 league!
Guys, let me introduce Jovana Brakocevic - the newly born Volleyball Superstar!!!

Play Off A1 2007/08
2nd Round Semifinal

Today at 8:30 pm team from Bergamo defeated Despar Perugia 3:0 (25:15, 25:17, 25:19).
Foppapedretti Bergamo: Tasca n.e., Gruen 13, Croce (L), Rosner n.e., Gujska n.e., Camarda (L) n.e., Sorokaite 8, Piccinini 13, Arrighetti 13 (MVP), Lo Bianco 2, Fiorin n.e., Poljak 11.
Despar Perugia: Pachale 2, Grbac, Crisanti 8, Marinova 1, Decordi, Arcangeli (L), Sacco, Pavlovic n.e., Francia 10, Del Core 3, Artmenko 3, Gioli 7.

Tomorrow at 6:30 pm surely a very good game- Scavolini Pesaro and Asystel Volley Novara.

In the last few games both Rosner and Fiorin are not playing at all; in fact during the Italian Cup Final, with Bergamo losing 1-2, Micelli tried a new formula with Sorokaite oh just attacking, and Mello entering in her place in the receiving positions (There's a rule in Italy that you can make as many substitutions as you want if both players are under21)...and it was I'd say really successful; so since that...Fiorin and Rosner out, Sorokaite/Merlo in

Today Pesaro won 3-1 in a cool match I'd say (at least 3rd and 4th set) with Novara and is the first finalist of the 2007/2008 Championship

Tomorrow nitgh we'll discover who'll challenge them

I prefer to beat the Champion's League Champions in the Final Playoff! Anyway, kickingg Foppa's ass won't be that bad either!

Go Pesaro!
