Team squads for European Championships 2011

Skrimov is better than Penchev ?

Ask Radostin Stoytchev, not me. These are his 'chosen ones' ?
I don't know why Penchev isn't in that list, also Valentin Bratoev is missing..maybe he's not recovered yet..

Penchev missed the preparation and probably that's why he is not in the roster. He was in Brazil. Skrimov jumps very high, 345-355 cm in attack, but Penchev is the best receiver. May be Skrimov improved for these two months, he had 80% in the second game against Serbia in 24.08.2011 //the third after World League and the fith in total for this year

Berruto will give italian list on September the 2nd.

Iit will be:

Setters: Travica, Boninfante
MBs:Mastro, Buti, Birarelli, Barone
Opposites: Lasko, Sabbi
Liberos: Giovi, Bari
OHs: Savani, Zaytsev sure; Parodi almost sure (I'll say sure...); probably Maruotti (the alternative is Kovar)

Kk15 Congratulations! You have deserved the win especially with the 11 blocks of Mastrangelo in one match ? Can't wait for the ECh.

Russian line-up (probably):
Apalikov Nikolay
Biryukov Denis
Butko Alexander
Volkov Alexander
Grankin Sergei
Zhigalov Maxim
Ilinykh Dmitriy
Komarov Valeriy
Mikhaylov Maxim
Muserskiy Dmitriy
Sokolov Alexander
Spiridonov Alexey
Khtey Taras
Sherbinin Dmitriy

Thanks!! Unfortunally I couldn't seen eny of these matches, but I'm so proud of them, expecially of Parodi and Zaytsev, recovering so well from their injuries!

Ten days, it will be an eternity!

i heard that Muserskij is injured, because he didn't play in match rus-pol. is it something seriously?

I know nothing about Muserskiy yet, he seemed ok in Russia-Italy,but i didn't watch the game with Czech Republic, something could happen in that match...anyway,if there's something serious Alekno will tell it soon
but Butko got injury on right hand blocking in match with Poles yesterday, and this really worries me..

I'm very happy that Skrimov is in the BG team, I think he's got some impressive skills (from the little I saw of him ? ). Our liberos also have improved a lot. ?

Spiridonov ufficially out of the NT for behavior problems. I imagine Berenzkho will take his place...? How is he about his knees?


Estonia on ECH :

Setters : Kert Toobal, Martti Keel
MB : Raimo Pajusalu, Meelis Kivisild, Ardo Kreek, Janis Sirelpuu,
OH : Keith Pupart, Eerik Jago, Jaanus Nõmmsalu, Martti Rosenblatt
Opp : Oliver Venno, Argo Meresaar
Libero : Asko Esna

What a surprise ) I guess it is better that way, I don't want to be ashamed for my team, as I was in the math against Germany, in which Alexey got a yllow card for childish behaviour... a shame considering his outstanding skills.

Btw, he will be replaced by Sivozhelez Evgeniy according to the news...it seems Berezhko is not yet fit then.

Russian team for ECh:

Setter: Alexander Butko, Sergey Grankin
Opposite: Maxim Mikhaylov, Maxim Zhigalov
Middle Blocker: Dimitriy Muserskiy, Alexander Volkov, Nikolay Apalikov, Dimitriy Shcherbinin
Outside Hitter: Taras Khtey, Eugene Sivozhelezov, Denis Biryukov, Dimitriy Ilinykh
Libero: Alexander Sokolov, Valery Komarov

and about Slovakia, Masny is injuried so he won't probably play the ECh.

For Italy:

Setters: Boninfante e Travica.
Opposites: Lasko e Sabbi.
OHs: Maruotti, Parodi, Savani e Zaytsev.
MBs: Barone, Birarelli, Buti e Mastrangelo.

Poland :

Setters: Łukasz Żygadło, Fabian Drzyzga

Outside Hitters: Michał Kubiak, Bartosz Kurek, Mateusz Mika, Michał Ruciak
Libero: Krzysztof Ignaczak, Paweł Zatorski

With this composition of Poland has a minimal chance of a medal. Unfortunately, Bartman did not have time to cure an injury. With Jarosz and Gruszka on the attack and with Zygadlo on setter Poland has little chance. I hope that I am wrong.

Poor Bartman...

I thought Bartman would be in shape for the Euro 2011 and his injury (from the WL2011) wasn't that bad, but apparently he won't play.

Big loose for Poland

Świderski after the fatal injury didn't give up a career
I'm impressed

Wlazły resigned from the game at the European Championships with Zagumny Winiarski and Pliński of fatigue
