    Maybe it will be good for a country like Spain. Surprisingly, Spanish Federation is against this new foreigner regulation. But, wether Spanish Fed do well their volley promotion job (I doubt it), there will be no problems to complete the rosters with spanish players. Right now in Women's League we can see one or two spanish setters playing all matchdays, one or two spikers, one or two blockers and one or two liberos. Teams are full of foreigners (not always top level) and the spanish players usually are "Heating The Bench" :win: :win: . Maybe spanish volleyballers aren't good, I don't know, but they have no option to progress PLAYING MATCHES when their team is full of well (or very well) paided foreigners. We all in Spain want a strong league, with very good foreign players, and four spanish players on court playing, learning from foreigners and earning money. Yes, we just want Glinkas, Jaquelines, Gamovas, Fengs and Kazyskis and we also want Rodriguez spiking decisive points, Moltó blocking decisive balls and so on.


    It's no my intention to scorn the foreign players in spanish league, but spaniards have their right to play volley, and nowadays it's very difficult for them.


    I hope nobody feels this as a disturbing post. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

    The next season foreign player's limitation has put Spanish volley clubs and National federation into shock. Following the new FIVB regulation, only 3 foreign players in rosters and 2 in court at the same time might be the end of good club results in European Cups. Right now in Spanish SFV and SVM are very unusual rosters with more than one or two spanish players really playing matches. The consequence is a general level downshifting in NT, especially in Women's NT.


    Next season it will be necessary really improve the schools of volley and the Federation and clubs must be more confidents about their spanish youngsters. We all hope this normative will improve medium-term the NT level despite some years of poor results in European Cups. What is more, years of expensive transfers searching foreign players (not always top level players) put the clubs into a very bad economic situation and a big number of young spanish players had left their loved sport.


    It sounds a litlle bit dramatic.......I'm very sorry. This is the real thing. ;( ;( ;( ;( ;(

    The italian NT middleblocker Jenny Barazza (GRANDE BARAZZA!!!!!!!) underwent a surgery in order to correct his left achilles tendon, partially broken past monday in a training session with Foppa Bergamo.

    Well done Nastja !!!! :D


    We just are talking about "Killer Instinct" on court. The "eastern" player (woman or man) have it always. The "western" player sometimes have it. If we can consider Cuba as a "eastern" school of volley, take a look on Tay Agüero. Right now, Italy is flying high with her. Agüero skills are very impressive: serving, receiving, defending, setting, spiking and also blocking. The "eastern" school works hard all of these skills when babies start to play the game. Their motivation is higher, they have a goal. Their way of life makes them "hungry" of victory, because the sport is a way to improve it. I say this with all my respect. :roll:


    One time I saw Elizaveta Tischenko meeting Nikolai Karpol. Elizaveta was working as a volley commentator for the Russian TV. Maybe Karpol has that black legend about their hardness, their insults on court...you know. When Tischenko met him I just saw respect for the master. It was my impression. 8o And I'm sure Nikolai Karpol made her cry a lot of times even when she was at the top of their career. ;(


    How many "western" children volleyballers stop to play too lately because they say "training is boring" or "sport is very hard for me?". :evil: No sacrifice, no excellence!!!!

    Dear Afroman and Konrad, maybe you're right talking about basketball audiences on courts, not in TV....Only Spain NT has big shares on spanish TV....when wins.


    But Gasol, Navarro, Garbajosa, Rodríguez & Calderón are playing in the NBA, not in Spain.Money, money :whistle:


    Real Madrid, Barcelona, Pamesa and so on, are full of slovenians, croatians, serbians, lithuanians and of course yankees. A few number of spaniards PLAY really in the Spanish basketball league. If you want more "eastern" players names; please tell it to me or check yourself the rosters on www.acb.com


    ROLANDO Uríos is a cuban-born handball player. Is the same case of Julio Fis (Cuba) or Talant Duishebaiev (Kazakhstan). Money,money :whistle:


    Tennis is just interesting in Spain when Nadal wins. And how many africans play tennis as a pro? Money,money :wavy:


    One last data. The Falasca Brothers were born in Mendoza (Argentina). Luckly they play with us. They are big players!!!!!!!

    I agree with Nastja.


    The richest is a country, the poorest is their youngster's "sportive sacrifice". Here in Spain, apart from football, there's no general sporting culture. If you are a footballer, you could be a millionaire easely. If you are like Rafa Pascual (probably our best volleyballer in all our history) you have to migrate from here. This is because here you haven't opportunities to be a good paid PRO Volleyball Player. ?( Only football :down: ......I almost cry when I'm watching TV and I see thousands of people supporting their teams (NO FOOTBALL) outside my country, of course.....The Spain's victory in the ECH was a delicious accident. We have a little group of very good players and we had a very good Coach (one more accident). But the "other" countries (Poland, Bulgaria, Romania, etc, etc,) have structures that not only the money can buy. :huh:

    Enhorabuena!
    A pesar de todo lo que España hizo en Moscú :):) espero poder ver su selección en los Juegos Olímpicos con todos los bombazos de Falasca.
    Si tienes algunos videos de voleibol en español , ten la bondad de ponerlos por aquí, será un placer! Me encantan los reportajes en español.
