I’m the only one who thinks that Gennari is not that bad
Last year was really bad...
I’m the only one who thinks that Gennari is not that bad
Last year was really bad...
Fans will continue to enjoy watching Parrochiale for most part of the season then
From what we hear here, the plan is to have Gennari play a lot in the Italian championship...
And, given how she played last year, I don't know how much better it is than other alternatives...
Wow novara must be the team with most bad luck
Injured bonifacio,akimova,fersino and orthmann recovering
And Mazzaro and Mims too...
Scandicci is rumored to have already signed an agreement with Li Yingying, who should join the team after the end of Chinese league...
Yes... It's a rumor that's been going around for months...
Italy's success is greatly due to Egonu and De Gennaro and their setter. their OH surely aren't any better than China's. c'mon now.
Did you read what I wrote before posting your platitudes?
The phrase "Certainly there are other high-level OH, some perhaps better than them,", seems clear enough to me, but if you want I'll explain it with a drawing...
Don't be ridiculous, china's OHs are far better than Italy.😉 Same for Americans, their OH pool are crazy good. even turkey has world class OHs when they are healthy and in shape
People were right to say that before OG because no one expected such a solid and consistent performance from both Sylla and Bosetti after mediocre season both had. Also if Sylla was injured during OG, Italy would have been screwed, Gaia could not replace her with her very limited offense. Moreover, No one knows at which shape Pietrini and Degradi will come back, both had very serious injuries.
I'm sorry, but I really don't understand your point of view...
The Italian OH are world class and they have demonstrated this not only in the last Olympics (where they outclassed all those from other nations), but also in recent years: the facts demonstrate this without any doubt...
Certainly there are other high-level OH, some perhaps better than them, but the Italian package is of an absolute level...
Furthermore, I really can't understand how anyone can say that even Turkey has better OH than Italy: here, this is ridiculous...
Myriam Sylla...
2018 -👑World Championship Best OH
2019 - 👑Eurovolley Best OH
2021 -👑Eurovolley Best OH
2022 - 👑World Championship Best OH
2024 - 👑VNL Best OH
2024 - 👑Olympics Best OH
I'm thinking what could have happened if only she were more solid...
Who knows...
Honestly, what is even Scandicci's game plan at this point?
...Scandicci might just have the worst OH line-up I've seen from a big team in a long time. Aside from Herbots, literally none of their choices make any sense, and we all know it's not a budget issue....
The rumors here are that the plan was to make a "quiet" roster to aim hard to get a top OH for the next championship...
The objective that everyone says was Fedo and obviously Fener gave her a three-year renewal and they were screwed...
In any case it's useless to argue: however you look at it, it's just Scandicci doing Scandicci...
According to Alessandro Garotta and Volleynews, it would be a done deal for the transfer of Francesca Villani (OH) from Scandicci to Novara...
For Novara it would be an understandable move (In addition to Akimova, Orthmann, Bonifacio, Mims, Mazzaro and Fersino have also been out of training due to injury ), while for Scandicci it seems impossible that they want to get rid of the only Italian OH they have...

Ciara Michel predictions for the championship .
Either the interview is old and is only being published now, or the good Ciara is poorly informed...
She still talks about Pia Karstner, who had back surgery this summer and will probably miss all of next season and has already been replaced from Serbian Rada Perovic...
However, the considerations she makes seem to me to be both agreeable and absolutely obvious...
Yesterday the official presentation of Vero Volley Milano and of the new main sponsor NUMIA (Digital banking and payments) and the technical sponsor KIPSTA...
Elena Pietrini was not present due to illness...
Perhaps because the players always play below their expectations and capabilities in important matches.
What expectations?
They have lost two important matches in the last two years, against Turkey in the quarter-finals of the last European Championships and against the USA in the quarter-finals of the Olympics...
I don't think anyone can think that they were two matches that were neither easy nor in which they started as favourites. , in fact I believe exactly the opposite...
Poland, in the last two years, has done the best that its squad could allow: perhaps in the next Olympic cycle if Czyrna makes the leap in category and, finally, Stysiak finds a minimum of regularity they could take another step forward, but it's not something to be taken for granted...
Lavarini resign till next Olympics
Exactly...
And it happened more than a month ago...
Given that it seems to me that he is working very well and that, above all, the players are super happy with his work, I can't understand why there is talk of Terzic on the bench of the Polish national team ...
Vietnam, Sweden, Slovakia and Slovenia will make their first appearance at the world championships...
And Bella Haak will walk on one of the two main stages...
Therefore, the 15 national teams that will complete the list of the 17 already qualified should be:
Poland
Germany
Belgium
Czech Republic
Puerto Rico
Ukraine
France
Bulgaria
Cuba
Sweden
Mexico
Slovenia
Slovakia
Spain
Greece
So vietnam is qualified?
IDK...
it will all depend on the FIVB ranking... If I'm not talking nonsense it should be the ranking of today 30 August 2024...
If I'm not mistaken, the remaining 16 teams that must qualify earn their place through the FIVB world ranking at the end of the FIVB season national team in the year preceding the World Championship, therefore: TODAY...
Edit:
you're right... With Thailand being the organizing country and "official" qualified, Vietnam ranked 4th at the Asian championships, should be qualified regardless of the FIVB ranking...
