    I think that nobody was expected this. It is really bad that they had so few time as a team. Markova and Akimova together would be monsterous team if they could have time to work together specially if you think that Danesi and Bonifacio duo are playing amazing lately ( and it is the best MB duo right now in the world in club level). There are the only team in the world right now I believe ( maybe also Milano now because lately Cazaute rised) who they wold have enough attacking power and quality to destroy Imoco. But it's such a sad that they seem to be at such an early stage of preparation.

    Lol. Markova & Akimova duo has not worked so far. Markova's passing is terriblr and against the best serving ITA team, I doubt she can hold up just likr she couldn't when they faced Imovo during the regular season.

    Akimova has not been having a good second part of the season. I'm Moy sure if it's either because teams have already figured out how to stop her or she has some sort of injury.

    The only teams that could possible challenge Imoco right now are Fener and Milano. Milano's issue is physiological. If they play like they did against Fenet (especially that home game) they have everything to win against Conegliano. They just have to believe it.

    Yes!!! I completely forgot this!!! You have right. Nicoletti is way better than Mingardi these two last seasons but maybe the fact that the first played in Serie and the second in TL play a part in this desicion.

    I dont think so. Nwakalor played in Japan and was still called up.

    How come is Mingardi in the list but not Nicoletti? Also Lia deserved another chance.

    It's strange that Velsasco said that he has summoned players who were starters in their clubs but for example Loli is in there and she's barely seen the court with Chieri (tho her past NT exp might've counted)

    I would've given a chance to Gardini, Cagnin, Carletti, Enweonwu, and above all Mafrendini (yeah she's the youngest but with way more potential than Grazziani, Akrari, I don't care about her U20 commitments, she should be training with the main adult NT).

    Τhe absence of Nwakalor ( MB) is the most ridiculous desicion in my opinion. Gray first should learn to be a decent attacker ( basically first to learn how to attack generally )and after to take the call.

    Lol. Linda plays in Scandicci and they are still in the running for the finals. No player from the semis nor the CL finalists have been called up yet. Relax

    That was an awful move. Haak became the monster player she's now under Guidetti's wings.

    I don't get why poeple keep saying that that was an awful move. Egonu was signed well before the WCCH and up until that she was Vakif nightmare and the best club vball player by far (and still is, 5 CL finals in a row and 3 MVPs with 3 marvelous performances with over 40 pts and excellent attack efficiency I have not seen in another vball player). It was only logical that Gio and VB wanted not only to sign her but also weaken their main rival. They didn't win all the cups, for sure but the balance is positive, especially when Paola singlehandedly won the most prestigious club title there is that year.

    I love, Haak but that she was playing like a goddess all year round is bs. She was doing well but that only CL championship during her three years at VB was due to Gabi. And on top of that she was also adapted to the club after spending 3 season in which they didn't change the roster. Don't know why some people get so blindsided by their hate or dislike towards Egonu that avoid the facts.

    Maybe from the next season. Now we have the Olympics and I guess that the coach will use the whole VNL to prepare the team.

    The OH locked for me are Pietrini, Sylla and Cate. Maybe Degradi gas some advantage given her recent experience with NT, but the 4th spot is pretty much open imo. But experience I guess will count for a lot. I like Bracchi's versatility. It's true that VNL will be key to the OG preparation but it wouldn't hurt to give her some court time and see how it plays out. After all she's only 21.

    Fighting spirit? There's no way Bergamo could win two sets with Scandicci... And in any case, by winning 3-2, Scandicci would have been ahead of Milano even if they have won 3-0 in Vallefoglia...

    Lol. I didnt watch the match but you're talking as if Scandicci were thr unbeatable Imoco. If you really watched the whole season, Scandicci has been really MESSY to say the least. Same as Milano.
