Italy - Serie A1 2023/24

Quote from VBdiamond

See? Ognjenovic won't start in the third set because of foreign limits. It's a wasted spot when they can't use her the whole time because they have to fix other positions and aspects of the game.

But they had to go with foreign setter because there is no local. Milano is not giving Orro away and Bosio is not on level for them to compete for trophy.
Their best bet is to go for someone like Bosseti pr Danesi for next season, Novara is not on the rise and can’t give nearly as much money as Scandicci can, but local setter is the hardest to find for what their ambitions are

Quote from voulter

Yeah, Armini is coming back from an injury and has been back to training for around a week (probably even less). Merlo is getting surgery tomorrow, I'm not sure but likely out for the whole season

Oh that's sad hopefully she can still come back after! I did see her sitting next to the court, good to see she is able to support her team still

Haak is just amazing

Zhu is shanking everything and not killing her shanks

Quote from KVB

I actually think she’s doing better than expected considering the sudden injury of Merlo pushing her to be the starter without good preparation, her lack of experience at this top level, and her own history of injury. But is she good enough for a team with such high ambitions? At this moment my answer is a big no, and I disagree that she had enough nice digs in this match. There were a number of spikes she could pick up but failed due to her wrong positioning, which is all about experience and prejudgment.

I'm not too familiar with libero position to see if someone's positioned correctly so I'll believe you on that! Let's just hope that she will learn a lot from playing weekly now

Scandicci libero is not that bad at all, She is not superstar but now bad at all

Let her play it's the only way to find out. Again, I would have loaned her for one more season to a team like Bergamo, Cuneo or Firenze, but considering that Scandicci also kept both Diop and Nwakalor maybe they're looking to invest in their youngsters.

Haak and Wolosz connection is PURE ART

It is so beautiful to watch this two together.

De Gennaro is still the best libero in the World.

She has so many crazy digs, this is insane

no she isn’t lmao.

I think this match is more entartaining than the Imoco Milano one.

Also, why don't they use Herbotts pipe attack more!? I think she is more effective there than in pos 4 sometimes. At least in NT.

Lanier had greag impact in 3rd set when She came in, Santarelli needs to trust her more. I hope She doesn’t become Gray 2.0.

And Plummer got so many chances and She was the biggest roller coaster ever

This was great match with so many good attacks and long rallies.

Robinson and De Gennaro were freaking amazing in defence. Robinson is in her peak of her performance in Conegliano right now.

We had chance to play the legends of volleyball playing against each others.

Match finished 3:1, but Scandicci was super close and they were missing Antropova.

Lanier and Gennari are way better than Plummer and they full fill their rolles. I hope Santarelli see this…

And MVP of the game is Monica De Gennaro. Congrats

She was stunning, her digs were amazing…

The best libero in the World

The problem for Scadicci right now is the setter. Maja needs to find the connection with the OH and specially with Zhu. Bad sets also from Di Iulio in the position four. Oh god it is not so difficult. Set them HIGH and thats it.

Bosio was way better than Orro the last season with the club and she is making an excellent season with Novara until now. The NT is an other thing. I would not say that she is worst....

Quote from Sassy

Earlier today, Szakmary played for Novara instead of Buijs (and did well). At first I thought Anne was getting some rest since they played Trentino, but I didn't even see her name on the score sheet... Did anyone hear about what's the reason? I hope she's okay

According to volleyball.it, Buijs suffered an ankle injury in training yesterday. The exact diagnosis will be known in the next days

So bad....Novara was so good. They was like a well-tuned watch.

My God how unlucky Novara is, and they looked amazing as team….

First Hanna and now Bujis too
