Italy - Serie A1 2018/19

    Quote from crovolley

    Carlini just needs to sit down and watch how Glass, Wolosz are/were playing. She has stability but her creative part is not working.

    IMO it’s not so easy. When you watch Glass you see that this girl has personal skills, her body works like it should work. But with Carlini... she can be a decent setter, I can’t see big future in front of her. Maybe I’m wrong, time will answer.

    Quote from charalampos

    Does italian league have play outs?

    No, there's no play outs. Club Italia and Chieri are relegated to Serie A2, but next year Serie A1 League will probably have 14 teams so Chieri has chances to stay.

    I hope Busto can win the quarters against Monza, despite the latter secured in the last possible moment the home advantage. Remember, that both are really close to each other (vicinity of Milano) and the fans of Busto are more numerous than those of Monza...

    I’m cheering for Monza, this time.


    StefanS if Busto lose against Monza they will not be part of CEV Challenge CUP even though they were 5th in regular season ?

    With all due caution to possible rule changes and ranking changes by CEV, we know currently two qualifiers for sure: Conegliano will play CL due to winning the league round and Novara will at least play CEV Cup for winning Coppa Italia. If both win their quarters, what seems highly likely, Challenge Cup berth will go to the best team after league round, which fails it to make it to the quarters, i.e. losers of Monza vs. Busto Arsizio. If Novara finishes at least third, the CEV Cup slot will be won by the weakest league round team, which loses in the semis.

    Scandicci wants to signed Kosheleva for Play-Offs :white::white:


    But for sure they are scared of Pomi who is really reaching their potential at end of this season!

    I don't know how her current shape is but if she's fit enough, she could be more helpful than Vasileva.

    It seems like Scandicci are super ambitious to win the league this year, though I doubt it can happen.

    I don't know how her current shape is but if she's fit enough, she could be more helpful than Vasileva.

    It seems like Scandicci are super ambitious to win the league this year, though I doubt it can happen.

    Her current shape is far from her best and hasn't been for a few years now to be honest but she is still a useful player. Since Vasileva has not shown much this season I'd say Kosheleva would be an improvement if she can adjust quickly to the new team. But still I don't think she can help them to a Scudetto.

    So far this is probably the best game I've seen from Vasileva in Scandicci, maybe Kosheleva has woken her up. It takes a lot of pressure off Haak if Vasileva can contribute. I mean she's very good but she needs help, she's not Egonu.

    Apparently the news about Kosheleva was a hoax. She's not in Scandicci's roster on LVF site and also the commentators said something like somebody from Scandicci answered the question about Kosheleva arriving with "That's Fantavolley".

    Pomi take 3rd set and pushed Scandicci. Now We need to see how will game goes :)


    I really do believe Pomi can make some upsets.


    *Their was news that Kosheleva will not join Scandicci before Gara 2 or even semi finals.

    I would keep Carcaces in Pomi for sure, Skorupa too, maybe they can try to signed Destinee Hooker for next season. She would be perfect for them.


    And they need way better local MB... and you have many good local MBs in Italy.
