Italy - Serie A1 2025/26

    Quote from 777

    So much drama going on. The whole incident with Malual was really awful and is already being investigated by the club and LVF


    Then there's Mayu Ishikawa's sister-in-law going after Cambi and the rest of the Novara girls for mistreatment. I'm sure it's just misled frustration, Cambi would never disrespect anyone

    but the question is how will they find that person that harassed malual? they shouldve taken action during that time. the chances of that person going back to the venue and shouting profanities and slurs is very slim unless they're a complete unemployed psychopath with no access to internet. her post has been crossposted everywhere on social media

    Can you link to where Mayu's sister-in-law is accusing Cambi? And who even is she?

    Quote from Sando23

    That's ridiculous, Cambi clearly didn't see her behind her. Lol. I think the person commenting is Mayu's mother and not her sister-in-law? Either way, what a dumb thing to comment.

    That's definitely not their mother. It could be an aunt idk



    Japanese media is blaming someone ehem herbots because Mayu did not agree to be a sub this season according to her contract with Novara.

    It's a huge news outlet Sponichi that's accusing bias towards Herbots over Mayu and her whole family is enraged

    The whole thing, Ishikawa being Herbot's sub is absolutely ridiculous. When I saw that Herbots signed in Novara I said it many times that she not that stupid. She was subbed before in Novara with zero time on court and she wouldn't come back if someone could not guarantee her being the starting OH. Ishikawa is clearly the best OH in Novara, she was better than Lina the last season and she was in top level shape with the NT, but Berdardi had already choosed Herbots. I understand that her height is a disadvantage when it comes to blocking, but Herbots can not reach high either and more importantly, she doesn’t perform well in ANY PART OF THE GAME. So, if she is frustrated, she is right to be so, since Berdardi shows that he’s looking for an excuse to play with the Herbots:sos::sos::sos:

    I don't know if it is indeed Bernardi's decision but in any case Mayu is not the type to compete with anyone for a starting spot. Mayu said before in an interview when Koga was captain that Koga insisted on playing with a different starter so she didn't contest it that's why she was only a sub through most of the Paris cycle. And knowing Herbots who is extremely assertive with a very strong personality compared to Mayu, she probably has more sway in the team, on top of being fluent in Italian while Mayu still has trouble speaking Italian. Herbots can be somewhat of an annoying ass-kisser like Laura Heyrman said so it's not surprising if Bernardi favors her

    Koga had a beef with with Mayu?

    Koga had a beef with with Mayu?

    No they're good I used it as an example. That's not to say that Koga also didn't hold back during Nakada's flop Tokyo era she said if the coach wants me to have the supporting role in order to make Kurogo the "main ace" then I will do just that. Both girls have the same mentality when they're asked to lead they will but should another player be preferred they're not going to get in the way of that.

    But really are people thinking they can tell Bernardi how to coach or manage players? The problem, if there is one, is a on- court issue, and it's Cambi's sets for Ishikawa.so we talk about on court dynamics. Nothinh else .

    If the fact that two players don't match up toghether can transform a on-coirt dynamics in a such "mobbing" issue , or even worse, the post match photography do that😂😂,this situation its a problem only for those who support the players and not the teams where the Player Is, because these are dynamics that happen in all sports. So no problem till the people suggesting that Novara is bullying or mobbing Ishikawa

    I bet that tonight She'll be in the startin6 . E poi avoglia di tifosi giapponesi a dire gomenasai e sumimasen facendo 100 inchini, perché cultura del rispetto, che vi rende tanto famosi nel mondo, a sto giro l'avete dimenticata a casa

    I really cannot understand the De nardi> leonardi and Herbots> ishikawa . Let alone the fact that cambi is not starter material for top 4 clubs. Although de nardi has had good games i dont believe she should be starter.
