    In the final Despar Perugia and Jesi will fight for the title.
    The match will start at 20:30 and be broadcasted on SKY...


    I dont have a clue who will win that match since both teams will play with some new players, but this match might be a good indicator for the beginning of the season :wink2:


    we will see :wink:

    well...
    Perugia won 3:0
    No chance for Jesi at all.... I watched that match and i was totally impressed by Perugias performance! They played really well, while jesi was missing hmm the balance...


    Del Core was elected as best player of the match!
    Congrats to Perugia, who proved again that they will be a favourite for the title in the Seria A

    Wow Nastja, you find a way to watch the matches! :D


    Congrats to Del Core, Gioli, Marinova, Francia (who played with injured finger!!!), Arcangeli, Pachale and Crisanti


    Togut and Rinieri were so so. I hope they will soon regain their shape. Gattaz was jet legged (she came today from Brazil). Marcelle sets weren't always precise. She has to find a feeling with her attackers. That's normal at the beginning.


    Maurizia Cacciatori and Andrea Zorzi did commentary, with Zorzi explaining the fast (how do you say in English fast, the slide maybe right?, the typical female MB attack) of Bown and Gioli and of Rinieri (the same one that Sokolova does).


    Tommorrow Chieri vs Altamura. We will see Barun and Secolo play together with Fenoglio as coach.

    Wow Nastja, you find a way to watch the matches! :D


    ehehe yes, i found a nice way...
    BTW samba, today were some team presentations such as Bergamos... I found one pic of the whole new team but so little...maybe u saw somewhere some better ones?


    thats the only one i found

    No, I've found that pic and another one (Leo, Fiore, Jenny and Croce) at vivovolley.it in the same dimension.


    Tommorrow at 11h in the morning in live streaming on http://www.legavolleyfemminile.it the presentation of the League with many players present.

    Yes you're right, the so called "fast" in vulgar italian :lol: is int.lly called "slide attack", where the mid hitter swings behind the setter to attack. it's more likely what happens in basketball when the hitter takes off of 1 foot for the final shot. This happens only with females and anyway... yes, the dashboard was simply :good: thanks for pointing that out ;)


    About the match I give you my worse (CELLA) and my mvp (CRISANTI) :D I liked lucia very much, she did her job in the best way she could and her serve in the last set put the final cross over jesi :)
    the armony in perugia last night reached stars, they were all so happy to stay togheter, especially marinova she was so funny in her smilies :D and even if they all had just 1 training togheter the previous day they found the best equilbrium! great defense by pachale :) Congrats Perugia and my best wishes for the championship!!


    As for jesi... well, not much to say by my side, the tandem cella - toga - rinieri was completely a disaster and marcelita didn't even have the sense of measure. Definetely not in fit. The only good player I noticed during the match (even if for a few cause the caoch..... hmm never mind) was negrini, the lady with a big tattoo on her shoulder, but she couldnt carry by herself the whole team over that shoulder anyway lol. But let's give 'em time... yeah... :roll:


    Del core deserved to be elected MVP of the match (she battled between with gioli for this, they both were great and everywhere in the court!) but anyway she could avoid some comments at the end of the match like "jesi played a good match..." cause... well you know, some players after a win are just too good in giving comments to opponents and del core was also very sweet last evening :lol: I can understand that they are all friends with eachother but a little sense of critic wouldn't harm at all, at least when there's this evidence.


    Anyway I will heal my aim always full of critics now... its my constant I know... and I am sorry! ;)


    Oh, and I almost forgot, on a final note I wanna give me appreciation to sky for the great organization as always with all interviews and cameras, amazing replays etc.. The whole coverage of the match (and the after match) was indeed great :) and this is just the beginning ;)

    eheheh nice artictle oksal :lol:

    No real surprises on the first playround.
    Foppapedretti smashed Forli down :shock: 25:9 in the 3rd set is impressive...
    Rosner played just in the 3rd set, and scored 4 points, while Valentina Fiorin played in the first 2 sets and scored just 6 points after all...
    Anybody seen any match of today? would be nice to know how some of the players played...
