Display MoreBecause it isn't lol. At least in Italy.
When Pasini had his blog, for example, 95% of the comments were for the men's volleyball articles. Most of women's volleyball news had 0 comments, outside of teams like Imoco, Vero Volley and AGIL... It was the reversed version of this forum.
Coppa Italia had popular and very cheap titckets, likely 20/25 euro IIRC. The closest seats costed 160 euro for CL. Any women's volleyball event with Imoco, Vero Volley, SDB and AGIL had almost the whole Italian NT on court till last season, while yesterday there were just Giannelli and Russo.
And again, when you pick a city far from the partecipanting clubs of the country, you already cut out half of the fans of that team, expecially with the F4 formula, because everything costs the double, since you have to spent 2 nights there. In Italy volleyball is a sport for families - there aren't football fans like the ones of Fener and Gala - and not every father can bring his wife and children to the games. And event like CL in a city like Turin would likely cost 1k euro for a family. Not to mention Juventus had the most important game of its season yesterday and there whole focus was on Rome for the Master 1000 final with Sinner.
Everything that could possibly go wrong in this case went wrong.I think it's gradually shifting now. I wanna go ahead and give Japan as the biggest example since vbw said that 70% of the vbtv audience are from Japan. For example Yamada has signficantly higher views than Asano Kento on JVA's youtube and IG and she's also close to 100K followers while Kento only at 31K. Also Yoshino Sato already amassed 200K+ ffs on IG she's already on par with Keihan Takahashi who is basically useless and only known for his white-passing facial features.
You can also see the difference in views between Japan WNT to the men's team. The women have significantly higher views last year. On the league side however the men's still dominate in terms of bringing in a huge crowd since not only do they have Nishida and Ran, the men's division also boasts foreign players who are superstars in their own right while there's really just American players in the women's division so there's just a huge disparity there.

Oh no!
Even though Daalderop and Jasper did not have the best seasons in their career, their experience and leadership would be beneficial seeing how the team played last weekend. I wonder who is gonna step up as leader now, it must be between Sarah/Britt (or Hester if she's able to play full-on).Jansen!!! This is your chance to prove your worth as a "defensive" OH
let her and Knollema be the new OH duo to start withDid the team have a vice captain last year?
With Daalderop gone, Van Aalen deserves to take over as captain

Did ossrb remove the post? I can't see it on their IG?

Anna Pogany just told in the stream that Orthmann is out today due to knee problems.
Not again

Volleybox says that Baleva's mother played in Italy and Google says that she's been living in Italy since she was a child. Enescu should be in the quota of naturalized players, but there is this rule that a country you play in as a 14yo dictates your federation of origin, so it is what it is.
It says in that post that her parents are handball players who represented Romania
Quote
Originally from Constanța, she has already been in Italy for almost a year and represents one of the great promises for international volleyball at this age level.
Her parents, Andreea and Răzvan Enescu, were high-level handball players and both represented Romania on the international stage. -

I just know Kojima is the one cracking corny dad jokes because she's a menace
-
I was ready to ask: Who's Scola? I mean I can obviously search for her, but does anyone knows how good she is?
The only match I've seen *by accident was Talmassons vs Brescia Michieletto's sister's team and they were completely obliterated.
Scola and Frosini are clearly the new coach Barbieri's recommendation to Velasco. Scola also worked her middles from that one match I've seen lol
Other than that there's not much to be said about her in the match last night since France was struggling a lot.

Is it just for this season or until Bregoli's contract ends?
I can't find further info let's just wait for another German article, FIVB feature or Avid to spill the tea lol
Based on what Chirichella's nephew said there was going to be an FIVB feature with added info this cycle but as you probably know he's not as motivated anymore. Even the supposed VNL feature after Serbia's wnt now went to Germany's men's team...

Personally I thought Adigwe and Cambi looked horrible. Cambi's 2nd tempo was far too slow. Velocity left the chat.

According to Shannon Boone, Logan Tom is part of FIVB's empowerment program "distribution system" of coaches. She chose Germany with Bregoli.
