Italy - SuperLega Unipol Sai 2014-2015

  • Since last season cup winners going in CEV Cup not CL anymore

    correct. We are only in Cev at the moment.

  • I hope Italy gets three teams next year again (probably Wild Card) in such case because I want to watch Treia there and especially Modena, it's been a long time since Modena last participated.


    According to CEV European Cups Ranking List for 2015/2016, Italy is still in 2nd place. Therefore, there will be 3 Italian teams in Champions League, 1 in CEV Cup and 1 in Challenge Cup.


    So in order Modena and Lube to qualify for next year's CL, they have to advance to semifinals and Trentino must eliminate Perugia or Verona in semis. Quite possible IMPOV.

    I don't know how Cev calculates the ranking, anyway it's a shame that Poland has only 2 teams just like Germany (for example). Italy, Russia and Poland deserve every year to have 3 clubs.

  • Actually Poland (&Turkey) is really close to Italy.


    • Russia : 435,34 points
    • Italy : 403,34 points
    • Poland : 396,67 points
    • Turkey : 393,33 points

    True, Poland deserves 3 teams in the Champions League, but they often receive Wild Cards and eventually have 3 teams there ;)

  • So, Trento is secure in CL bc they ranked No.1. Why didnt they choose No.2 No.3 of the rank for the next 2 spots inspite of playing Playoffs ?

  • Play-off matches are:


    Energy T.I. Diatec Trentino - Exprivia Neldiritto Molfetta 15/04/2015 20:30


    Sir Safety Perugia - Calzedonia Verona 11/04/2015 17:45


    Parmareggio Modena - CMC Ravenna 12/04/2015 18:00


    Cucine Lube Banca Marche Treia - Top Volley Latina 12/04/2015 17:15

  • Perugia is getting wrecked by Verona. :white:


    Kinda sad about Trento, but I didn't even expect them to take it to the golden set to be honest.


    EDIT: aaaand Perugia is back in the game.

  • With the better roster of Dinamo it wasn't very likely, bu they did. Matey served a lot, Birarelli blocked a lot, Lanza piped a lot, they did much less errors and the game was interesting. Too bad Trento didn't win at home, they could've won the cev cup.

  • Interesting game Treia - Latina, but both sides rarely use pipes and risks vs the double and triple block.

  • It was very entertaining to watch Skrimov in the fourth set, each spike became point, often vs the triple block and over it. I remember when another guy here claimed that he is ten levels bellow Ngapeth and both are incomparable :bump:


    On a side note, Ricardo is not fitting so far in Macerata and if he is not on top of his game in next match he may not have more chances to play in these playoffs.

  • Two great surprises in this first round of quarter finals!


    Verona won against Perugia 3-2 (they could have ended it 3-1 though but it's ok). I think it is the first time they win in Perugia, as in the last two- three years they always got smashed against them whenn they played away. It is an important victory, now they have the chance to close it at home and it would be an historical result for Verona. I think that Coscione played a good game, relying on different players, Gasparini showed great things on service. On the other side, beside Atanasijevic, nobody really helped in spiking...this is the problem Perugia has since the beginning of the season, Atanasijevic is often left alone, Fromm yesterday didn't play so well, Beretta is not for this level and Vujevic isn't required to kill so many balls. They have to find more reliable solutions in attack IMO...

    Tonight Latina won against Treia, that didn't convince me at all. Great players but there is no team chemistry and everybody played for himself. On the other side, maybe less champions but great spirit: Urnaut Skrimov and Starovic played great in attack, and also on serve, Sottile is as usual precise and reliable, while Van de Voorde continued his great season. Giuliani must leave Henno on court, Paparoni isn't even comparable to the french. He can also play with Monopoli, hoping that Parodi and Savbbi will have a better game next time.http://www.legavolley.it/TabellinoGara.asp?IdGara=27353

  • Giuliani needs Paparoni on court because he is italian. The foreign limitation doesn't allow Henno to play like it was when Baranowicz was with the team. On the other side Paparoni is ai impressive receiver, but he wasted his career lately staying on bench. Giuliani keeps playing with Kurek... :wavy: Ricardinho for now doesn't fit Treia.


    Talking about my Perugia, what I can say? It's all about Atanasijevic. I wouldn't even blame Beretta, because it isn't his fault if he is on court instead of Barone. I can't blame Grbic as well if the club was thinking about winning something with Maruotti as starter. He tried Vujevic, but he can't play always on high level and it's ok considering his age. He tried Sunder and the last time he was great, but as we all know he's too unstable expecially as passer. And to be honest De Cecco isn't showing anything special lately... :down:

  • I know about Paparoni, but if he plays with Monopoli and Henno, then the foreign limit is respected...or am I missing something?


    You're right. He needs Monopoli on court to let Henno play, but it seems like Ricardinho is his setter for now...

  • #adottaunasquadradivolley (translation would be "adopt a volley team")


    this is the hashtag we(supporters of Piacenza) are using in order to try to find sponsors for our team.
    Without a new sponsor we won't be able to play next Italian League, money is over for our president.
    We need help.
    We already wrote lots and lots of e-mail to the italian best sport's newspaper "La Gazzetta dello Sport", and they gave us an entire page talking about our situation.
    I write also here, with your permission, to hope something will change.
    If you want to do it, you can share this hashtag to help us ;)


    thank you so much!

    If I'm not mistaken, the regulation requires 2 Italians to be on court at all times. Treia had Parodi and Fei, so they were OK. Therefore, Henno could have played as libero.


    On the other hand, he may had some minor injury and couldn't play the whole game.
