Italy - Serie A1 2025/26

  • I think that despite this loss Scandicci has still a big motive. They have some really chances for the CL. In knock out matches everything can happen and if they manage to pass Ecza- which I think that they will do- they can win one match against Vakif and especially against Imoco ( considering how they play in the CL). They did it in world champs and why not again.

    A month without playing is certainly bad, but in Scandicci's case, maybe not...

    Skinner and Ognjenovic need to get fully fit and rest all the players, especially Antropova, who once again arrived "dead" at the end of the season this year...

    It could be an opportunity, rather than a limitation...

  • Bernardi posts an ambiguous message on his acc


    "The last consideration I want to make is that those who seek the true truth, the real reason, will never find it within ourselves, but rather in greater external forces..."


    L’ultima considerazione che ci tengo a fare è che chi ricerca la vera verità, il vero motivo, non lo troverà mai al nostro interno, bensì in forze maggiori esterne…


  • in my volleyball account where i follow almost all the novara players, none of them liked his post :gone: but maybe it's still early? posted 1 hr ago

    Ehh I mean the whole tone from how he ended his message as translated doesn't sound right so I'm not surprised that none of the players even herbots dropped a like.


    For legal purposes he may not be allowed to say anything, but at the same time he's trying to tell everyone something

  • Bernardi will probably just reveal everything in some exclusive interview once NT season starts and everyone is too busy with the NTs to pay attenton

    Reveal what ?! How He pushed Herbots Who clearly was 3rd OH in team and that He destroy team chemistry, what they had last season.
    They were second best last season, only team who managed to beat Imoco.

  • I just checked the Italian league website and it shows the 1st game of the final on 11th April. Conegliano has played their last game on 24th March. I guess they wanted the final take place later so there wouldn’t be much gap before the Final Four?

  • Sport Finanza posted a breakdown of the league's milestones this season in an interview with LVF president Mauro Fabris

    Also since someone was asking about the new platform


    From July next year, when the current contract with Volleyball World expires, Spike Media will take over the management of the television rights: an asset that this season totaled 10 million viewers between the championship and the playoffs on Rai Sport and VBTV.


    The League, backed by Gameday and NJF Holdings, has surpassed 1.2 million followers on social media with over 45 million interactions and an engagement rate of 2.8%, becoming the second largest Italian sports league in terms of digital presence. The ecosystem linked to the championship has overcome 1.4 billion views during the regular season: an all-time record.


    «In terms of views we are above basketball and above men's volleyball, we are behind only Serie A football», Fabris said

  • Zhu has always preferred to play fast with her two step approach. Even more effective against a strong blocking team like Milano…

    Yes, but those fast sets still have to be high enough for a 1.98m player. Didn’t you see how many low sets Zhu was forced to just push over?

    The last set to Gabi was also way too low and tight that costing her to be blocked by Bosio(!) and the 2nd set.
