Regular season of Italian Serie A1 2012/13

Latina vs Modena 3-1!! Wow...i'm so happy for Prandi, who's a real gentleman as well as a walking Bible of italian volleyball. And i'm happy for Latina: they have been able to do what Roma should have and didn't!! Great match for Sottile!!

what a surprise!!!

trento did his work: easy 3-0 to roma

Cuneo won 3-0 vs Piacenza, but should was a great match (26-24 32-30 28-26)

First words of GM Bruno Da Re in the post-match press interview " Who's actually confirmed for next season in the whole club? " answer: "Nobody, and if players don't hurry to take the shower, they're also going to remain in here" . Thunderstorms in sight...

uhmmm...... dennis will be a wing spiker in trento? ???

@Kjeldhor I do not understand your post, anyway, he'll be "on sale" soon, so if u're interested, make an offer xDD

If Modena could serve better they will win in the same matches they lost this year

Let's say COULD have won SOME matches more among those we "played" (did not) this year
Right for Latina and Belluno us to get out, finally, this revolting season is over.
Happy for Silvano Prandi who knocked out the team which dismissed him last year for just a couple of bad performances, well done!

Well, looking the matches here and the stats Modena lost most of the matches with good attack and defense, decent block and too many errors on serving. This kind of game can up some levels if the serving can get more reliable

yep, this year Modena usually scored 20 serve errors/match

first finalist is Trento

We must wait a little longer to know the second finalist instead!! Cuneo-Macerata 2-3 (25-19; 23-25; 25-18; 22-25; 13-15). The "war" between these two teams goes on!!

Stokr should get subbed in third set in which he had 0% in attack, the match would be 3:0 if Stoychev could do the obvious

It is not only that in, called out, (there are at least 3 more such ball, two in the third set) but the fault is on Stoychev

the biggest error was letting Osmany on the court, i like when someone want still play whit a problem, that's the correct mind to win, but when u can't attack and can't defend u're not only usless, u're a problem for your team, Rado ask him 3 times if he would come to the bench and he refuse, but shouldn't was a question in that moment should was an order

Totally agree, Kjeldhor

All the players in Trentino:

First match of 2012/2013 Season: Italian SuperCup, Macerata vs Trento 3-2. Exciting match! Super Zaytsev (23 points); Savani 20 points, Kazyiski 21 points.

i agree with u handan that Macerata is the favourite for this match, and they are more spectacular, but spectacular doens't mean effective... in this moment Raphael is serving often Jan cause is so much effective than osmany atm

about Mikasa u're right, but we know that long time ago... in ECL Osmany never got so much aces as in the league, but he can learn how to serve ... just be patient, and at the same moment, floating service are more difficult to receive...


about the setting.. the fact is: trentino actualy won 28 set, lost 0 set. and in this month Stokr is in a great shape with a straordianry efficacy

and BTW Stokr attacked 113 balls, Osmany 72, and Matey 107, last year 681-552-576, the % are about the same...

statistic is only about our league and regular seasion (w8out cup and playoff) but it can be orientative

I remember some years ago .. Trentino got in his roaster Stephan Hubner and Ryan Millar... we got something crazy like 5 block/set.. i'm missing that time T_T

no, but for the first 7 matches Stokr was unstoppable
