Morello still has to play the finals, not saying she's going to be with the NT for sure but until then she's obviously not going to get called
-
Firenze announced Ana Malesevic
-
I also hope Moki can get MVP. Lots of deserving ppl in the team but I think both Haak and Wolosz have won league MVP awards before?
Yes both Haak and Wolosz did but also De Gennaro already won once

Maybe it's nothing but I noticed San Giovanni is following Hanna Klimets and Jade Cholet (through a quick scroll they seem to be the only foreigner players who didn't play there already they're following)
-
I wasn't referring to sylla , I was reffering to Fedorovtseva(if you are talking about my post).
Aaaah sorry I read that wrong!
-
You can say a lot about Sylla but to say her defense is bad is a bit out there

Surely there will be someone who will illustrate to me some very valid reasons why on the lists there are players like Anna Adelusi, Valentina Bartolucci, Matilde Munarini, Martina Bracchi, Alice Nardo, Alice Tanase, Giorgia Frosini and I'll stop here but I could go on...
Munarini on the b team (which I assume is were she will end up once there are more middles available for the a team) I'm fine with, she was very good in A2 and giving her some experience might be worth it even if she's fully closed as a middle currently, Nardo and even more Tanase are definitely extremely questionable (and kinda useless imo) picks.
What's very odd to me is Eze on the B team, I would try her on the main team asap (particularly on a year like this one where Italy can afford going a bit experimental on VNL)
-
Who will be other middles of Firenze? Is butigan staying?
So far they they renewed with Acciarri, I don't remember other rumors
-
Scandicci actually playing great and crushing Milano in the first set, Carol heard the complaints and scored 4 blocks already lol
-
A lot of them are obviously there just to fill the spots in missing positions so they can at least do a 6vs6, but some of the choices are kinda odd indeed
-
I also think she's not good enough but italians of the same age in A2 didn't perform better than her. Esposito has a good season but her attack isn't better than Siftar, I cannot find another good U21 OH.
Esposito and Siftar attacked pretty much at the same level (39.0%/0.30 efficiency and 39.2%/0.27 respectively) plus there's also Giorgia Amoruso (41.5%/0.34).
Obviously the stats can't be taken as an absolute cause it's different teams/different situations, Siftar was always the first attacking option of her team and half of her teammates were injured at some point (and Amoruso was on the relegation poule so the second half of the season was vs weaker teams) but it's not too far + the italians could be subbed out on every backrow rotation if the U21 sub is used compared to Siftar who could be subbed out for only (and none of them is a good passer).
To be clear I don't think either of them is better than Siftar currently, just that they would give better team composition/more options for an italian team
-
I remember being super impressed by her physical abilities at the oqt i think it was ? I’m surprised she’s even in A2
She wasn't supposed to, she signed with Stuggart but left before the season even started (no idea what happened there)
-
Now iVolley is saying Siftar signed with Pinerolo, the girl has been "a done deal" for like 5 different teams at this point lmao
I also think she's somewhat overrated tbh, she has been good in A2 but not that good and there are a couple of italians of the same age in A2 performing at a similar level that could be used together with a young libero/defensive specialist for a U21 sub

Sartori, Pelloni and Traballi (as like Malual or Obossa) are not material for the NT...
These are just "prize" call, for their performance in the last national championship...
For me, for the national team B, instead that these names would be better to take players directly from the youth national teams, to make them grow just as they do almost all the other nations...
But it will not happen, because in Italy, winning the youth championships is ultimately a higher priority than making players grow...Without any competition they could actually play in I'm fine with them playing the youth competitions instead of just staying on the gym the whole summer even if it's with the senior team,but now that most of A2 teams are done/youth team camps starting later though I wish someone would get called to train with the senior team/play some friendly and maybe get a couple of them in the first week of vnl given that most of the main team will be out. At the very least I'd call to train a couple of the OH (Esposito/Amoruso/Piovesan if she's healty) given that's the most critical position
-
does panetoni's agent hate her?
she's better than Cuneo and now the promoted team....
I honestly don't get it either, at least she's still playing in A1 and not going to A2 like Spirito a few years ago
-
Thats ortolani team ?
Yes
