Italian NT 2014

  • At that time Maurizia Cacciatori was the best Italian setter, so maybe she should be called for NT too?
    I don't like the idea of calling Aguero as setter, it still sounds like an April fool to me. But I'm open for surprises...


    cacciatori hasn't played in AGES though. also, isn't she a sports commentator now?

    Cacciatori retired many years ago...I think it was just a joke by Matthias! now she has a son and a daughter (if I remember right).

  • Of course it was a joke ;) Because for me it also sounds like a joke calling Aguero as setter when she hasn't played on that position for more than 10 years now :aww:


    sorry, i was half awake when i read your post... :rolll:

  • Well, I was just saying that aguerro was a very good setter... Not that she was still great. But if she is capable to play half as good as she used to do 10 years ago, she still can help this italian team which really nead à setter. Ferreti can be good, but she need to relax and stop playing with the middle only when the team is 5 points ahead.

    I think that no matter how bad Ferreti would play, a Cuban setter, especially one who hasn't set for like 12 years, can never be better

    I completely agree with you: the main setter should be Ferretti and then Rondon as backup. Aguero hasn't been a setter for so many years, she was a great player of course but I think she won't be that useful now!
