Hi everyone, even if I don’t post here as much as I used to do in the past, I always read what you write and I’m still here.

I just want to tell you that here in Italy right now there’s a MESS. You guys can’t understand what’s happening here. I live very far from the red zones, but here too it’s a mess so I can’t even imagine what’s going on there.

Press is going crazy.

People on TV speak 24/7 about the coronavirus.

There are a lot of fake news.

A lot of people are breaking the rules and that’s why the situation is getting worse and worse every single day.

Maybe right now volleyball is not the most important thing to think about for us.

I think playing without the audience is just a joke since there are still the players, the staff, the speaker, the little girls on the field (their parents who drove them to the hall) , people that works in the hall, the drivers of team’s bus, people that works for the TV service, etc… involved. It’s not just about the audience.

I know it can sound crazy stop sports a few months before the OG, but if we [not Italians, I mean everyone] don’t do something right now, we could have to postpone or even to cancel the Olympics, and that would be the worst thing that could happen to sport.

We all must do our best in order to not spread the virus, and if stop volleyball for a while is one of those things, we should do it.

Julien Lyneel is SO hot!

Italy is still awake.

Quote from Spyro

This doesn't justify double touch for me. She did one against Russia too Now she had 2 kills

Folie is actually one of the best setters amongst the MB. She usually sets very well.

Egonu is making too many mistakes...

When she hits the ball or it's a point for Italy or for Serbia. We can't go on like this. We should also try to put the ball on the other side of the court and wait for Serbia to make some mistakes.

Came on, Italy!

Lucia, we miss you!

France was SO close to the 5th set, but unfortunately they didn't won the 4th one. It ended 23-25 for Serbia.

OMG, France is so unlucky today! Everything went well for Greece until now. The second set ended 21-25...

Today I watched for the first time ever a volleyball match abroad, it was Madrid Chamberí - OSACC Haro Rioja Voley. I have to say that Spanish Superliga is very different from Serie A (which is the league I know better). There's a huge gap with the main European League. It was good to watch it because it ended at the tie break, but still...

It reminded me of the matches I used to played when I was something like 15/16 years old. I mean, I would be able to play in a team here even if it has been ages since my last official match.

The players looked very very young.

I hope the level will be higher one day and I would also like to watch Spanish NT playing at high level in the tournaments.

BTW, I'll be back at the hall to watch also the next matches

Revenge? With Lanza...

looooool

Dear SHAME, finally we agree on something! I can't believe it XD

Guys, I'm curious. What are yout favourite French singers or songs?

Quote from kyle7in1

It's gonna be interesting to see Perugia's next game against Trentino though. A revenge for supercup semi?

I think right now Trento is playing better than Perugia. Let's see what will happen!

Today the league will start, finally!

The first match will be Conegliano-Casalmaggiore and Rai Sport will broadcast it live at 20:30.

I think this season will be interesting.

They posted something Sara wrote while she was in the hospital on here FB page. I translated it.

Why sharing? To support people, which have difficulties to overcome like me. To let you know that life is beautiful, because right now I need positive energy.

I must have another transplant, but they found a cancer in my lymphatic system.

And now I’ll start treatments which include several chemotherapy cycles, I’m afraid because I want to live.

You don’t know what challenges you would deal with in your life or how many they will be, it’s very difficult to be ready to face them.

What do you desire the most? Your dream, your biggest wish?

My dream is to live. I just want to live, to walk, to be outside, to swim in the sea, to feel the sand beneath my feet, to be surrounded by fluffy white snow in a sunny winter day. I want my paintings, my kitchen and my little synergistic garden. I want to spent time with my family and the people I love, to live without too many requests. I just want to live.

Many of you know my story, after a difficult liver transplant in 2013 I fought to take back my life. This year, my condition got worse and it took me back here at the Niguarda hospital forced once again in the transplant list.

At the same time, I was diagnosed with a canc*r in my lymphatic system. I can’t even say it, and now I’ll start treatments.

That’s the reason why I was constantly at the Niguarda SPA. Here I’m observed by an high-quality team I trust that is doing everything to make my dreams come true.

I’m lucky to have my family, a supportive boyfriend and some special friends by my side making me laugh. I’m carefree when I’m with them, my illness goes away…

Many other people are fighting the same battle I’m struggling with, a lot of them won it, many of them didn’t make it.

I’m scared, it’s not the best feeling, but it scares you not to have certainties.

I don’t want to be more specific about my clinical condition, but if you want to keep me in your thoughts, or in your prayers (if you are religious), if you want to send me some good vibes to help my body defeat what is bad.

I’m here to fight. I won’t give up. I will always have faith, like I’ve always had in my life.

Goodbye everyone.

Sara.

Russell for Lanza. Worst transfers session ever for Perugia. Nothing else to say. Challenge Cup is waiting for us in the 2019-20.

I agree with you!

How many foreign palyers are allowed on court in Superlega?

Too many! There must be only 3 Italians.

Quote from Toguttt

Italian setter Giulia Rondon, 31 years old, announced on instagram that she will retire from professional volleyball.

A lot of italian players decide to quit this year

Rondon, Ferretti, Calloni, Paggi...
