pearl TOP 500

interesting idea the one of seeing lasko in Macerata (never been a big fan of Omrcen...good player but i prefer others) but, in such case, don't you think it is a little counterproductive?? i mean if we gather more than half NT in just one club, don't we run the risk of not making these players evolve (don't know if you can uderstand what i mean)?

@Kjeld: ma come cambieresti Parodi???? L'unico che vale!!! LOL
Diciamo che quando parlavo delle partite a 1000 e quelle a -2000 mi riferivo più che altro alle partite di Champions (e sono più quelle che non mi sono piaciute di quelle che mi sono piaciute).
Per quanto riguarda le mie aspettative invece, dico la verità: pensavo che insieme a Trento avrebbero fatto il vuoto dietro e sarebbero stati in grado di tener testa alla corazzata trentina.

Kjeld: They have ZERO chance in Champ. L. by now!! Anyway, they've had problems since the beginning of the season, not only in this last month. Lots of ups and downs... and probably you're right, something can be related to a not perfect physical preparation. But imho their big problem is mainly in their heads!! Lack of concentration, lack of determination. As i already wrote in the comment you find in the link, the episodes of the two balls falling to the ground with no players trying to dig it (in latest match v. Cuneo) are symbolic to me. Honestly when i watched that match in those two occasions i couldn't believe my eyes (i also wrote it in chat)...i was speechless!!

@marchst: About NT - I'm pretty worried instead; Sava and Drago are two first-strings and they're not playing well!! And we have no bench (especially for setter position)!! Only Parodi is improving more and more (menomale...dopo quasi un anno!!!!).

LOL you're giving me minus 'cause i said thanks to my friend tysia for translating the video??? Whoever you are dude, you're hilarious!! ROTFL

Only for Italian Speakers: here you can find a comment of mine where i already started discussing this matter (sorry, i'm too lazy to write the same thing again :>)

Kjeld, Kk15, marchst and all the others, i'm looking forward to reading your opinions.

@tysia: thanx God i've got YOU on this webforum, girl :D Thanks a lot :)

I agree Kk15 and since also Kjeld told me to open a specific topic in Serie A, i'll do this way ?

No dear!! I didn't say that we'll be discussing the matter in Italian, I said that i don't know if it's worth opening a specific discussion in an italian forum!! (but maybe it is!!)
"Italian job" or "Bulgarian job" only refers to comments posted in our native languages....you should know that ?

I agree with Kk15: i'm so disappointed by Macerata's season so far, and also a little bit worried by the poor performances of some NT players (Sava and Travica mostly). I have some things to say about it, and i would like to discuss with other italian friends here, but i don't know whether to open a specific discussion in one of the Italy-related forums or do it here. Kjeld, Kk15 and others, can you tel me what you prefer??

No translation this time :(

same for me ? but Andrea Sartoretti knows him pretty well so...?

Wow!! He was a fantastic MB...but i have no idea of him as a coach ?

marchst: Henk-Jan Held??? Really???

Roninho, it isn't clear enough, but it's something like this: G: Don't speak too soon... (and then he says something else but i don't understand it) Z: Why "don't speak too soon"? I've said nothing at all!! Now it's your turn, mate! What are the guys saying in the video?? :)

Italy's n. 5: Paolino Tofoli=LOVE Italy's n. 11: Andrea Zorzi=MONSTER Thanx proud.

Nice to watch this game again, despite the quality is not excellent. What a match!! If only my guys could play with such confidence and concentration always :( BTW, I hadn't heard Lorenzo Dallari commenting a volleyball match for ages :) and he was with Franco Bertoli here...fantastic player he was! They work pretty well together and Dallari was great: he would have eaten the referee alive if he could have LOL

@Kk15:if only Rome had a valid and seriours project, Ivan would stay. The problem (as we already discussed) is that they haven't one ? So, i'm going to write it again, if Matey leaves Trento, Zaytsev taking his place makes sense (for both the player and the club).

/quote/ "It's important for you to think match after match, right? The season is so hard that this is the only way to keep focusing"/quote/ Considering that they were defeated 3-0 by Trento I really would like to know what they were thinking about during the match :o
