Trento made homework perfectly, AMAZING Stokr, AMAZING! I wasn't big fan of him in Trento this season, he was for me more like background for receivers, but bloody hell, he won third said "by himself" really. Unstoppable, totally unstoppable. And Kaziyski should learn form him hot to block! Middle blockers in great disposition, usually wing-spiker were strength of Trentino, but not today, Sala turned on his serve in the most important match.
Nikolov did what he could, but you see how disposition of Grbic is important for them. If he's not fighting, they loosing hope.
That's shows what I said before, you can;t have everything in Serie A, if you have Italian Cup, you don't have scudetto ?
I couldn't recognize cuneo, i've never seen this team so "empty"! exepxt (may be, and not always) Henno there were only phantoms on the court.
I'm quite disappointed, I think they actually had the chance to win (like Trento, of course), but obviously playing the worst macth of the whole season this chance blows up. I can't belive they plaied so bad. So sorry for them, it will be hard to forget it, they deserved to play a better final.
Overlook you mean withouth faith and without good game of Grbic, right? Or do you think Grbic played well??
ps I'd love to see Trento-Brazil!
This new Brazilian team is almost like NT;-)
Tomorrow I will make a highlight movie for the final

Bulgarian language differs not only from Russian - it differs from every other Slavic language with its rules of forming sentences - It don't have infinitive, it don't have dative, genitive cases and other like that - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grammatical_case. Russian has only one past tense - was/were. We have all that is in english for example. The vocabularity is again not that similar, a lot of basic words, that can not be influenced by other languages, like mother, father, brother and so on are different in Bulgarian (Mayka, Bashta, Kaka), which shows that it is not entirely Slavic and questions it's classification in language family (language chimera)
I can't say I am fluent in Russian, although I 've read Dostoevsky in Russian as a child. Many people in Bulgaria think that Russian is Bulgarian, but when they try to talk it's getting very funny. For example, a true story - there was long ago, during Soviet era a telegram from Russia "vstrechaite abrikosov". Everyone thought that they should expect visit from important party leader and they ordered the red carpet. With the train, however, came two tons of apricots. Abrikosov in Russian is "apricots". The right telegram for a human, called Abrikosov should be "Vstrechaite Abrikosova" Genitive case. Sinse we don't have cases, everyone translated that as ""Expect Abrikosov", not "Expect apricots"
Another true story - Bugarian party leader is invited to Moscow to participate in his birthday celebration. He stood up and made a toast "Hochu vam bolshoy jivot"/Хочу вам большой животь, which in Russian means "I wish you a big stomach". In Bulgarian the word for life is jivot, and in Russian the word for stomach is jivot. That's how close are these two languages - close enough to make you laugh :)
"the apprentice coach won the tricolour" (tricolour= italian flag=scudetto, it's quite used)
because Bagnoli (and Bruno) called him "apprentice" after the last macth of the semifinals
Kk15,what was that all about?I mean what did Rado do to provoke them.
Bagnoli blamed Stoytchev about that and I think I belived that Stoytchev annoyed to much the second referee, that complained to much about few choises. So he called Stoytchev "apprentice", he said smth like "ok, he is new, he is working as coach in A1 for few years". And at the press conference with Bruno before he left modena the setter said the almost the same, and he add that Stoytchev was really annoying.
That's a general picture of the situation=)
I'm surprised that Bruno would say something so undiplomatic,brazilians are usually very tactful around the media.
But,anyway,raylight's right and I think the club titles speak for themselves.
I've seen this article and I have no idea why people say that Bruno said something like this, while president of Modena did it actually, not Brazilian. Young Rezende is intelligent guy, who take example form his father how to give interviews, no matter what he thinks about Stoychev, he would never criticize Stoychev if he know he may back to Serie A in the future and who knows, maybe play in Trento. Do you think he would screw his chances by something like this?
Envious you say? Maybe Modena, but Cuneo has no reason to be envious, they won twice in three battles against Trento this year - I mean battles for title. OF course Trento won the biggest one, but last year was vice versa.
But come on, stop treating Trento like a perfect club with no defects. I like them too, I appreciate what Stoychev do with his boys, but you're just exaggerating right now. You know that both matches when Cuneo sent half of first squad didn't change position of Cuneo, they still would be second in league, no matter which team would win and Giuliani said that before, not after both matches, that victory is not so important, so he decided to let his main players like Nikola and Wout get some rest before Italian Cup or in next match, when Parodi was injuried, Wout had injury already, he let Nikola to get some rest before play-off, also Nikola didn't play in couple matches before. They never said "we can win with Trento only with Parodi, Mastro and Nikolov", because they are not so selfish and arrogant to think like that. Everybody knows that to win with Trento, they must play in 100%, with the bets squad they can sent on court [Modena sent the strongest they had for this moment, because of injuries, not enough to reach the final].
When Cuneo won with them, they send the strongest squad they could. Do you know what Nikolov said after final of scudetto? "If you want to win with Trento, you have to send the best squad and everybody need to play for 120%" Don't you think is the best proof of respect for Trento?
About the second part, I totally agree.
I also want to say that I was there, at Palalottomatica, and may be I was distract, but I didn't notice Cuneo BB be offensive (and I was close), and just few times in the second set they boo (I found this world on a dictionary, we say litterally "whistle", in a negative meaning, it's offensive) when trentino players were serving. Instead Trento fans "boo" almost always, from the first serve of Volkov. And I saw the same also during the CL, for example, if I remember well.
And BB kept singning (may be with less entusiasm) also during the third set, and at the end they acclaimed theyr team and after they clapped for Trento when they got the cup and the medal. and after they sang "Vlado Nikolov, Vlado Nikolov". And he sadly smiled and wave=)
I read more than once critisisms about the BB, and of course they have to be partially true, reading that seems they are devils and others are angels, but my impression is different. (of course I can be wrong)
Most coaches including Stoychev always show respect even when they think that they are the best of the best, because differences are small and everything can happen in one game. Stoychev may protest during games but he is very careful at the interviews. Winners get hate and if they don't show good public image it can be bad in the long term.
About Trento - I do not think they are perfect. They are not the most balanced team, so they can loose from supposedly weaker teams if the serve don't work. They were having great troubles with Bruno's uncorrelated with reception game, which show how young is the team - the players, the coach, they won several titles but they still can be surprised. Stoychev made errors before, which cost some titles but now, he totally outplayed Guliani and surprised me. In fact, his game was more surprising than Stokr's game for me and this is the real news from this game - they can change tactics! Really ? Stoychev can be the better coach in such game! I didn't expect that to be honest, I never thought he is Rezende class coach
Honestly I was surprise that Giuliani spook about the CL after the V-day (someone asked him "Do you regret Parodi?" and he answered "No, I don't, but I regrets the CL, I'd preferred be eliminated in the first tournament than losing at golden set at quartefinal, so we could keep energy" And he also said that they used a lot of energy during the semifinals)
Btw, sometimes I wonder if Stoytchev would be so good with a weaker team. He is a great worker, and I'm sure he makes his players improve a lot... but I will be curiose to see if he can do what Gulinelli (almost) did with Castellana Grotte, for example, or Bagnoli with Modena
Me too.
Modena hasn't got weak players to say that he did something big from nothing, of course Bagnoli did great job if we consider how they struggled with Prandi this season and he finally sent Berezkho on a bench and let Kooy play.
I'm curious what Gulinelli will make from Cuneo next season and for how long, Flavio is a guy who can't stay for a long time in one place.
That's how it should be, you have to respect your opponent even if you think you're stronger, because you never know what's gonna happen.
raylight Stoychev made his homework for best mark, but I wouldn't say he outplayed Giuliani and his tactic totally, we can now talk what would happen if... but everybody saw that Cuneo didn't use their best weapons - smart serve and defense. If Stoychev would win with Cuneo playing with those elements [no matter if with Parodi or not, no one knows if Parodi would do something more with that great game of Trento], I would agree.
But what I can say about Stoychev - he is master of training serve. Kaziyski, Soko, Stokr or Juantorena have skills to do it, but look at Sala, he started to serve strong last season when he came to Trento, he tried whole season and improved it so fast - remember first set in the final last year? He was an executor for Cuneo in this first set. This season wasn't as good as before with his serve, except one match with 5 aces, but in the most important match he turned on "serve mode".
You will see with Bulgaria :]
Nightfox, but Bulgaria isn't a weak team=)
Zyta, I can promise you that Bruno meant "really really annoying" in a bad way=)
But Bulgaria and Trento are on the way to be almost the same team ehehe ?
They thought about
- let only the the first 4 team of the regoular season joining the play off (without quarterfinal), and I think this idea really suck, because there will be almost no fight in the second half of the regoular season between the middle-level teams
- make a final4 for the scudetto (as they did for italian cup)
-12 teams access to play off in 4 tournament of 3 clubs. they play three days in a row (on easter week end, sunday-saturday-monday) in the "palasport" of the best classificated, who win the tournament gets directly to the semifinal (best of 3), and V-day as the last two years --> that's the one that seems to be preferred until now. The thing I dislike is the fact that the "quarterfinal" will be played in only 4 places on 12 clubs...but i understand it's necessary...
SerieA2 will play play-off during Olympics tournament, so there will be for them a new market-period to find someone that played out of italy to replace who will be convocated by his NT.
they also add that if CEV will accept to let the final4 of CEVcup and ChallangeCup be played in italy (as Lega asked) there will be the chance of normal play off (?)
(btw, there will be a final4 also for this two european cups because it's the year of the olypmics? because this year there was a final4 only for CL)
about european cups... hell knows, there was no anymore f4 for CEV and Challenge, because those teams didn't want to pay for it.
now I probably get how they can save time hosting the final4: I thought the choice was final4 in Italy/final 4 somewhere else (2 days less?!), instead now I imagine that the choice is final4 in Italy/no final4 like this year--> almost two weeks less!
about how selcet the teams for the tournament there was nothing, but I'll bet too it won't be 1-3, 4-6 etc!
I think it would be 1-12; 2-11; 3-10; 4-9 for sure, plus probably 8 in the first group, 7 in the second, 6 in the third, 5 in the fourth (I'm guessing)...
that would be fair.
