Some Praia Clube-related things:

Bruno Voloch confirmed that Tainara renewed with Praia. He also said that Praia wants Natinha (finally!).

An instagram account said that Praia is trying to get Roberta or Jordyn Poulter for the next season. However, that same instagram account said that Roberta had already renewed with LKS, so take it with a huge grain of salt.

Still nothing on "the quartet" (Carol, Anne and the Martinez sisters).

Jordyn confirmed herself that she is coming back to Novara in January 2024

Potsdam taking it to tie-break!

Quote from Madden54

wait really ?

Yes and no. They alternated each other in a few matches as Gabi was younger, had firepower and didn't particularly mess the reception line (but has way less experience). Then Logan got injured (she was underperforming a bit imo) and Gabi finished the season as great protagonist. We all know the after story

I had no clue on who was playing for Volero but man, I'm quite enjoying the team, so young and so promising

(When I turned in I thought C.Thompson was setting for Volero, Kobzar gave me the vibes)

I discovered myself a fan of Roberta

She made her team work very well and I liked her attitude, such a deserved MVP!

Edit: just to keep up the brazilian love, I'd like to say that Gabi is a Queen inside and outside the court: yesterday not only she had a great game (some digs were just from another universe), but she took pictures and signed autographs literally until the lights switched off and she had to leave. I think it's worth mentioning how great she is and how kind she was to everyone

Freya Aelbrecht (MB) to Macerata for the second part of the season

Quote from Colinaddicted

Besides her being bad, I thought her recent injury is the main reason. She had a terrible injury last round.

It's reported that the injury she suffered (head injury) is taking longer than expected to recover, agree that is surely a factor.

Also, Merete Lutz and Giulia Carraro left Vallefoglia, which took Drews and Lazaro.

How many times did Ebrar get MVP this season? Is there any ranking for MVPs? I couldn't find in legavolley website🤔

I dunno if there is a ranking, I was looking for it as well also for the past seasons. If you want, you can check the MVP in the "Tabellino" section, but you have to do it for every single match.

Anyway, since I'm keeping track of our beloved n°99, here's her list

23/10 Macerata

26/10 Pinerolo

16/11 Casalmaggiore

06/12 Potsdam (CL)

11/12 Milano (or Monza if you like)

Edit: here there is a Top of the players who won the most MVPs, but with no indication of the season or the matches

Quote from volleySrb

In first 2 sets they were destroyed by Boseti and Cubanian girl not Karakurt

I beg to differ. Ebrar had like 70% in attack and 20 points at the beginning of the third set

Seems like Novara is on the market again looking for an OH (or maybe 2). Surely related to Adams' injury but I think there is more to it..

Quote from Jules

Hi I just see the awards from last season as yana scherban as best receiver,antropova as best u20 player and mingardi most mvp A1,i think egonu was best opp

Where i can see full list and also for all previous seasons

Thanks

Also, Danesi as Best Blocker, Ebrar as most MVP (tied with Mingardi) and Hancock as best server (on the website the stats are different tho, dunno really where to look or what criteria they used)

Quote from VolleyOrange

One of Cuneo's setters got injured (as far as I understand) and they found a replacement in this Dutch setter. She trained with Stuttgart for the last weeks while main players were at WCH

The injured player is Beatrice Agrifoglio, second setter. Signorile is fine and played the Memorial Ferrari yesterday, winning also the MVP award

For the first time in a while, I think the awards were all deserved. Yes, there were also other players who deserved (Busa and Stevanovic) but overall I like the choices

The fact is that Paola is the only famous player for the mid level media in Italy (not the vball specialized ones ofc). They don't even know who's in the roster. They just associate volleyball with her. I'm sorry to say that Italy loves to insult its players when there's a defeat. (Please note that I'm not talking about criticism, that would be normal, I am really talking about insults and very unpleasant personal comments given with zero care towards the player). I read thing I really would have preferred not to.

Quote from Genius of the Sky

I read on Twitter that Italy’s media is attacking Egonu for the defeat? Is it true? The poor girl scored 30 points and they still mad at her?

It is. Main reason is the number of errors and the errors in clutch moments (end of first and third set). A usual they are blaming all on her because she is the main player. They are definitely exaggerating but their points are valid: if you score 30 points but have 15 errors and you go into the crowds with clutch spikes there is clearly a problem. She is evidently not the only responsible but media only know her and go all out on her

Brazil was amazing, very high level play but more than anything they are the most "team" of all teams here. When I see them I see a whole. And Ze, no words on how successful of a trainer he is!

Italy 7 blocks in total. Carol alone has 10. And Brazil as a team like 20

I wanted Japan vs Poland for the gold but oh well.... Jk, there last 2 QF were so good to watch, congrats to all teams. Poland really gave their all, a loss but a great loss, I think they finished the tournament on a very positive note!

Best match of the competition, both teams with great charisma, amazing plays and awesome volleyball. And no mess from the refs. A gem
