Italy Serie A1 2009-2010

Brebanca Lannutti Cuneo - CoprAtlantide Piacenza 3-0
(25-18, 25-22, 25-19)
series: 3-0
Cuneo qualified for the semifinals

maybe, after a 3-0 in a quartefinal, my comment can sound strange, but this is my thought and i'm going to write down it
Cuneo won't win this title
they almost lost game-2 and even a set yesterday, versus a dead team as ours, full of players with problems and without Marshall and Durante
they absolutely didn't impresse me
Trento, but also Macerata, are stronger

now a little comment on Copra...
i'm proud to have had a group like this, who gave 2 cups to Piacenza
Lorenzetti yesterday night, made the stairs of Cuneo's arena to walk to us, crying and thanked our supporters
he said, moments later, in front of all the team and with our presence, that having supporters like we are, is the best thing and that we would have deserved another title only for our way of support
president Molinaroli confirmed big changings this summer, but still i hope to have a good team when in september next season will start
nothing more to add...bad year, full of troubles and problems, but you can't always win
forever and ever go Piacenza!

First arrival in Piacenza: setter JAVIER GONZALES from Vibo Valentia via Cuneo
rumors about Tencati also...

Gonzales official, Tencati 99%, and now rumors about an interest on Savani(Perugia and NT's spiker)

Marshall, Durante, Boninfante, Rak and Meoni almost sure to leave, doubts on Zlatanov, Bravo and Bjelica

Quote from raylight

I would keep Marshall, Zlatanov, Rak and Bjelica

me too....but the fact is that we have no more money...and can't garantee a good contract for these players...

Sisley Treviso - Brebanca Lannutti Cuneo 3-0
(25-20, 29-27, 25-15)

series: 1-1

Lube Banca Marche Macerata - Itas Diatec Trento 2-3
(17-25, 25-17, 25-19, 19-25, 10-15)

series: 0-2

Second official arrival in Piacenza: from Esseti Carilo Loreto, libero Davide Marra
that confirms that Gianluca Durante will leave(Rinaldi, the substitute of Durante for almost the whole last season, was already sure to leave)

He is a young promise of italian volleyball in this role, he played very very well last season, in the statistics only Andrea Bari of Trento was better than him among the italians, and he was 4th-5th best libero of the league.
i think is a good player, that goes with our new style: buying young players who doesn't cost so much(Gonzales is the other) or players who are looking for revenge after one or two bad seasons(Tencati) but in the past were great
it's going to be a mix between youth and oldness...

Why there's nothing on the official site of Copra ?

because our website sucks, it has always been like this
