Season opens in Greece with Olympiacos winner of Super Cup
Olympiacos PIRAEUS came from behind to defeat archrivals Panathinaikos ATHENS 3-1 (18-25, 25-15, 25-21, 25-18 ) in the men’s Super Cup, which officially marked the opening of the 2010/2011 season in Greece.
Led by match MVP Dimitris Tzourits before a sell-out crowd of 1,100 in the Municipal Sports Hall of the Cycladic island of Santorini, Olympiacos outblocked Panathinaikos 18 to 10 and also outperformed their bitter rivals in attacking with 44% to 38% efficiency. Twenty-one-year-old Tzourits scored 29 points to emerge top scorer of the match, leaving Bulgaria’s Bojan Yordanov, newly acquired by Panathinaikos this season, far behind in second place with 18.
“We started out not so well, but we were prepared to face difficulties, especially at the beginning of the match,” said Flavio Gulinelli, the Italian head coach of the Piraeus team. “This was our first match with our new setter [Bulgaria’s Andrey Zhekov], with whom we only trained once. But by the middle of the second set he settled in and found more solutions, opening up our game to our outside hitters.”
“We were looking for duration in our performance, but we managed it for only a set and a half,” said head coach of Panathinaikos, Stelios Kazazis, after the match. “This is something that we’ll have to deal with for a month longer.”
The Super Cup featured the reigning champions Olympiacos against the reigning Cup-Winners Panathinaikos. Last season Olympiacos defeated Panathinaikos in the League Play-Offs finals series with three victories to one, but lost in the Cup final in five sets.
The 2010-11 men’s A1 Division championship, run by the Hellenic Volleyball League (the association of professional volleyball clubs), is due to begin on October 23, 2010. The champion will emerge after play-offs, in the spring of 2011. The women’s A1 Division championship, run by the Hellenic Volleyball Federation, is set to begin this weekend, with the opening match day featuring yet another Olympiacos v. Panathinaikos classic.

Rolando Yurquin DESPAIGNE is at Piraeus!!! I totoally lost sight of this guy after I saw him destroy South Korea in the World League once. He seemed to me like one hell of a player. He also seem like a very mean person though But I was hoping that that was an on court killer instinct kind of thing. I assumed that his no longer appearing in the cuban team had something to do with this attitude though. But would be awesome to see him play in the greek league again.. you guys are lucky to have him. Is he in the starting six?

Olympiakos played an awfull game.But it's too early...Despaign will help a lot Olympiakos in the future.Tzourits has no experience as an opposite but in some years will be between the best players in Europe.
Yesterday also Panathinaikos won EA Patrwn 3-0 easily.For Patra did not play the main setter Kournetas(ex-Belogorie) because of a muscular contusion.Yordanov played well but Castard(FRA) until now is too weak.Panathinaikos plays only with two foreigner players and can not be competitive i think...
On Thursday we 'll have a big match Olympiakos-Iraklis Thessalonikis.

Rajic seems class playes. Do you have video with him?No video unfortunately but this is not a surprise, he was along Bencz who went to Roma best scorer of MEVZA last season, played finals of Challenge cup and so on...He is on loan in Ethnikos for this season, so i wonder where he will play next season. Ivan is a lefty with wide variations of attack so very tricky to catch his spikes, but he isnt typical bomber.
