Trento were winning titles before Juantorena, they'll keep winning after him

Quoted from "scarpetta"

I have a feeling that Fenerbahce will make an offer for Juantorena
Raylight- Zaytsev has better block ,reception and is not far in attack than Kaziyski. Does it make him bettter player than Kaziyski?

That's a rather inaccurate statement

Quoted

he's going to Kazan...


Remember that Zaytsev is playing as OH only since 2008, clearly he isn't the best at the moment but he has great potential. I went to every MRoma game last year and this year and I noticed a lot how much he improved during the whole season last year and of course last summer with the NT.
MRoma's trainings are probably the worse in the whole A1, so I can't even think how good he can get in a *serious* team next year

For me, he's already a KILLER. I cannot stop wondering, how fast he's making progress...

Ivan Miljkovic's Interview

thank you so much for the interview
It'd be so cool if Ivan came back here in Italy! I started following Serie A two years ago so I didn't see him here in Roma, stupid me I only followed the NT back then.
I was also wondering how good he speaks english, most of our players suck at it (but I guess that's a general problem of our country it happened to me a lot of times that people told me "you speak good english, doesn't seem you're italian...." )

Trentino has the best training for Zaytsev. He may lose some reception skills but serve and attack will jump high!

Yes, bu Macerata want him too, so there are other possibilities. Like taking an Italian setter or opposite and finding a Non-Italian OH(Kurek, Murilo, some other Cuban on dope)

With the money Trento will get for Osmany they will make the better offer. Zaytsev will be best in Trentino, he will become a monster just like other players who went there.

Well, Macerata are big spenders so you never know. I really hope Ivan will go to Trento because he has the potential to become a beast

This weekend both Trento and Monza are busy with Champions and CEV Cup games, so they'll play their A1 games next week (though Trento is already sure it'll end up on the 1st place)
tomorrow: Piacenza - MRoma (RaiSport, 5.30pm, which is the same time as Trento's game so probably only I will watch it LOL)
sunday at 6.00pm:
Modena - Verona
Ravenna - Vibo Valentia (5.30pm, RaiSport)
Macerata - S.Giustino
Padova - Latina (sportube.tv)

Monza-Cuneo will be played the 21st at 8.30pm,
and Trento-Belluno the 22nd at 8.30pm

...since we lost 3-0 against Piacenza when they came here I'm not exactly hopeless for tomorrow, but who knows, if they play as good as they did against Trento
us, S.Giustino, Verona and Padova are still fighting for not going to A2 (well Vibo too but I guess they won't have any problems with Ravenna )... we'll see.

Great chemistry between the players

Yesterday during the game Segrate-Castellana in A2, Segrate's fans did a chant to Castellana's fans "Benvenuti in Italia", which means Welcome to Italy (since Castellana is in the South, Segrate is near Milano). That is really sad, especially because what I like most about this sport is the fact that usually it unites people.... Also, at the end of the match, people threw stones to Castellana's bus. That is such a football kind-of-thing and I know that there are other bad fans in our Serie A, but I never heard of something like that.
Also, still about Segrate, I read that they contacted Andrè Nascimento and Marshall for the playoffs....

I haven't even watched Piacenza-MRoma on Saturday, I mean I watched a couple of points and saw how bad they were playing and I preferred to watch Trento (....not that it went any better, but still it was a more enjoyable match ). They probably know that the team won't exist anymore next year so they're not even trying. I can't even get angry anymore, I'm just facing the truth. Sure thing if they keep playing like that and the team goes to A2, Mezzaroma will have a better excuse to close everything.
Though I read that we won't probably be the only team to close this year

Yes, unfortunately it's not the first time!!!Supporter's of Segrate
.....for Marshall and Andre Nascimento, REALLY???They contacted for the Playoffs?!?!?!

I heard bad things about Santa Croce and Cuneo supporters and experienced some bad moments with Latina ones ... so well they're not the only ones, sadly.


aaanyway, I read that here:http://dal15al25.gazzetta.it/2012/03/18/…-per-i-playoff/

He had some good matches, in one of them he even got MVP award which made me extremely happy I think it was in a match with Cuneo. He changes with Maruotti on this position sometimes and from what I know (if I'm not mistaken) Maruotti is injured now so Alberto substitutes him more often

Too bad that Latina lost. Not the best day for Kuba Jarosz as I can see...
