Italy - Serie A 2011-2012

Quote from Kk15

«Non torneò assolutamente. La pallavolo non mi piace. Più ci giocavo e più mi rendevo conto che non mi piaceva. Non mi piacevano tutte quelle regole, tutti che ti trattano come un bambino: bisogna fare quello, questo, quell’altro... Ed essere vestiti tutti uguali, è come se non si fidassero dei giocatori e a me non va"

"I won't be back to the indoor for sure. I don't like volleyball. The more I played the more I realized I didn't like it. I didn't like all these rules, everybody acting with you like you were a kid: you need to do this, that... And using evrybody the same clothes, it's like they don't trust the player and I can't stand with that"

Did he have any injuries? I remember Ananiev start in Monza was hampered by one back in 2007

Quote from raylight

Not after the tactical lesson Trento gave to Kuneo at 15.05.2011

Allesandro Fei is not the best spiker of Serie A1. All three players of Trentino - Kaziyski, Juantorena, Stokr have much higher efficiency in attack as you can see in legavolley.it

There wasn't any tactical lesson. Cuneo played without Parodi while Wijsmans had knee injury but got pain killers so he could play. Nikolov 29%, Volkov 17%, Parodi's replacement Patriarca 29% in attack. Cuneo was exhausted after 5 matches vs Macerata. There wasn't time to give any tactical lesson

Yeah and those percents are not due to reading their setting and attack And Trento had easier way to the final and the astrological aspects were not in favor of Grbic to pass to Volkov properly, and it was just another coincidence like every victory of Trentino not like the expected victories of Cuneo, the winners in 4 consecutive champions leagues, so mighty and unbeatable

I didn't said Trento had easier way to the final only Cuneo was stunned with Parodi's injury and Wijsmans had serious knee problems, so that match can't be taken seriously althought it was final. I'm glad Trento won but I've must be realistic.

Matteo Martino is out of this world. And I like his world

Quote from Kk15

ps about Wijsman, it wasn't a knee problem but an ankle injury, and it was almost solved when he played the final, even if he still needed pain killers.

BTW, now I remember that I opened this thread to said that this evening there was the official presentation of the 67° Italian League on Raisport, with Rado, Mosna, Berruto, Righi, Zlatanov, Padova coach (Montagnani?..), Magri (FIPAV president), Lucky, interviews to Mastro, Sabbi, Travica&Zaytsev, two referees... It was nice and interesting, and everybody said that Trento is the favourite one, with Macerata, and also with Cuneo. And many others things.

If he needed pain killers he was injured

What is there to like? Some guy who is wasting his great talent because obviously he needs help? As rugby said he wasted his talent and if he had little bit more brain cells he could became world class player

Quote from Kk15

Now he also have a big tatoo on his right arm, you should check for it (I suggest his fb profile )

I want to see it!

I like his fantasy and a need to be independent and original
But being serious... He's young so I hope one day he will be more famous for his game not only for his oddity.

Quote from Kk15

Enough with that, please!

OK, trust me, I was there (an I aslo saw the match later and with italian commentary) and I can promise that:

-Trento played a very GREAT match: strong serve, very few mistakes, good tactics and wonderful work of Rapha, good shape of Stokr... all worked well at the same time, they couldn't have done better than this.

-Cuneo played CRAP: of course Trento playing great didn't help them, but they played crap by themself. They were lost. They didn't fight. Their ability to be calm and solve badly-started match was missing. Their cooperation was gone. Their mind was missing. No eyes of the tiger at all. Even M.Roma would have been able to beat team! And I don't think that they "were tired for the semifinals", because in a such important match you can get rid of "tiredness", and after all they had 1 week to recharge mentally and phisically, and at that level is enough, I think.

It's like Poland beating Russia in the ECh: Poland played great and they totally deserved to win, but - with no offense - I still think that Russia is stronger. But at this level to won a match "being stronger" isn't enough, you need to play better than the opponents, and Polish guys did.

I think Trento is the stronger team, although not that balanced. The international success in these three years proves it.
