  • Carcases seems to bê a Lot better than expected.

  • She is 36 and basically one of the best OHs in the league (maybe the best offensively).

    Well, she's cuban: no good passing, but amazing physical and athletical power + strong spiking skills. She has always been like this. It's Serie A1 that changed, now many teams are willing to hire offensive outside hitters, but in the past all clubs wanted 2 all around OHs.

    She was not like this in the last 5 years. Not as consistent and reliable offensively as she is now in Novara. Maybe playing for a big team with higher ambitions makes her more motivated to give her best.

    Of course she improved in Italy, she gets to work with the best coaches in the world here. But she has always been a dominant spiker. She's also 36, so her game is more mature than ever in terms of mentality. You won't get to see her fighing her own teammates, like cubans used to do, anymore.


    Do you remember the epic fight between Ramirez and Calderon in Beijing 2008? :cheesy: BTW she was the hero of that epic come back against the USA, subbing Calderon.

  • Yea I honestly thought signing her was a terrible choice but she’s definitely doing better than expected

  • Rozanski is playing her best performance of the season :rolll::rolll:


    She has been bad so far, but tonight she starts and keeps deliver, attacks with confidence.

    I am so disapointed by her shape. She was really good in NT season and I was hope that she will improving in Italy but she is out of confidence. I will cross my finger for her :win:

    Life is easier when you have a setter like Asia as teammate :lol::lol:


    This season is still long, hope she keep improving and show her value, finally have a good game after several months.

    Yeahhh from beginnig of season she even once doesnt cross 40% in spike...

    In VNL she played without Wolosz and was good. I dont know how from best scorer of TAuronLiga she playing like this ;(

    I don't know if you follow seria A1 or not but most clubs in Italian league are good at block/defense against attacking from zone 4.


    If you compared the spiking statistic of all OHs, you would find those hit above 40% are good attackers (Not one starting OH hitting over 50% in the whole league ). I would say 40% of spiking rate is not easy to cross for lots of OH in italian league. Even Herbots doesn't cross 40% right now.


    If it offers you any comfort, all 4 OHs of Italian NT are below 40% this seasonLOL. (Sylla - 33%, Pietrini - 31%, Gennari - 36% and Bosetti - 38%).


  • Oh didn't notice Pietrini was having such a bad season. What's up with her? Isn't she supposed to be an 'offensive OH'?

    maybe you didn't notice that because she is not on court for long the time in the first half regular season. :rolll::rolll:got subbed out very often


    She has been mediocre or terrible so far :aww: Apart from the setter's problem (Di lulio's setting to zone 4 is...challenging to OHs), she has her own problem i guess.
