Giuseppe Patriarca

He can't dig..

Giocatore esperto, usato perlopiù per la ricezione! Che varietà di colpi in attacco! ;)

An intelligent player

I really admire this player because, I don't know If you read his history, but in 2000 during a volleyball training he broke his tendon in the right shoulder and two other are injured so he wasn't able to play again. Before this injury he has a extraordinary career that Anastasi convoked Beppe in National team.

If you can understand italian read this article: http://chepalle.gazzetta.it/2011/05/10/tutte-le-vite-di-patriarca/

Berny, you're right ;) Amon Amarth :) ... well ... let's say they do not find favour with everybody's tastes :D

pearl these songs are to scary for me :P I prefer normal voice of singer (ACDC is exception :P)

bitka: haha, nice ;)

pearl are you suggesting that he should play with women? :P

Giuseppe is a very good player. As some of you already wrote, his way of playing focuses more on technique than on power or strength. This is a value but, especially in men volleyball, can be a limit at the same time. Men vball (nowadays more than ever) is mainly based on phisycal strength. It's not like in women vball, where technique is the most important thing...and, in fact, if I want to appreciate some specific game action, I usually prefer to watch it when played by girls. So probably that's the reason why he never got bigger success he would have deserved (it's just my opinion guys). @Berny: does this song destroy your years??? hahah...'cause you've never listened to anything from Slipknot or Slayer or Amon Amarth :D

i has noticed that Giuseppe has very similar swing like Wout Wijsmans before he has jumped to attack the ball,and their haircut some time ago was very similar too. :)

Lack of power?

Respect you ray. Patriarca is bench player right? Why? He has height and great technique. Edit: yeah thanks for your answer

Our personal tastes are different, Berny. I appreciate this player's actions very much for the intelligence and timing in them, and for the beauty of the motions of player who lacks greater power and compensates it with technique :)

Ofcourse, I like every player, who plays v-ball. But if I have something to tell about movie, I honestly tell you. Song dont fits to me, so -1* and what i sad about actions is -1* others is ok.

OK, but some other people like his technique

Nothing special in action and these actions are so low. E.g. too many tips (and 3times replayed)
Then music. I like hard rock and rock, but in the first 10 seconds of watching I was scared and this song was destroying my ears. Every your movie is perfect ballanced, but this not for me. So 2* less. And this song is from Static - X and I like it so much and its the same kind of song, but no destroying ears http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMCbJB4yNXo&ob=av2e

Why so low, berny?

I think, this is not one of your your best ray. Sorry men, I just feel it. Therefore 3*

Youtube or WMG love them too - they don't allow you to have that music anywhere on the world

Yesss. Very good video, and this song.. oh damn it! I love static-x!

Someone voted 1 here, haters gonna hate ;)
