The Champions League season has begun in women’s volleyball: Scandicci without difficulty over the Romanian Voluntari (even without Antropova). Thursday evening it’s up to Conegliano and Milan.
It will be a first time for everyone. With a solid (usual) certainty: Italy of women’s volleyball in Europe has once again dictated the law and he doesn’t want to stop commanding. Especially in Champions Leaguethinking back to the final of Antalya of last May which saw the usual Conegliano impose yourself on the usual Milano. Even if this time it was the turn of Scandicci break the ice, without having to suffer the pains of hell.
Scandicci on velvet, even without Antropova
The 3-0 with which the Tuscan team defeated the Romanian side volunteer in his seasonal debut he didn’t surprise anyone: an hour and twenty minutes of didactic volleyball, with Marco Gaspari who took advantage of this to also keep the big teams at rest, taking into account that the opponent’s reach was known to be lower than usual on national soil.
Evening as a spectator for Kate Antropovabut he thought about it Ana Carolina Da Silva to show the right path to her teammates, putting down 15 balls. Good too Camilla Mingardisubstitute for Kate in the opposite role, who with 11 points christened his European season in the best way, equal to Indy Bajens (12 points).
The best way to restart after the defeat in the championship with Coneglianothinking about the next appointments which in some way will have to serve to find that continuity that the arrival of Gaspari in the intentions of the club it should guarantee.
Egonu still a spectator: Milan debut with Porto
The two finalists from last season will both make their debut on Thursday evening, although even in this case some stars could remain watching. Egonu definitely won’t playwho is still working out in the gym to recover from the operation on his nasal passages.
Between one market rumor and another, with the Turkish track that always hovers in the airthe player of Numia will follow her teammates closely in their debut against Portocertainly not an insurmountable obstacle when considering what will then be the rivals (especially the VakifBankthe team that in theory should put together the operation to bring Egonu back on the banks of the Bosphorus and who debuted with a 3-1 at Calcit Kamnik, a match in which Kiera van Rik played, the Canadian at the center of the rumors heading towards Milan. At this point, almost completely turned off.
Lavarini should not allow too much turnover: Milan wants to start off on the right foot immediately, also to begin preparing for the November matches against Conegliano (Friday 22nd) and precisely the VakifBankwith which the lead in the group will be up for grabs (first match on November 28th).
Conegliano, first time with a Croatian team
Conegliano who will instead face a Croatian team for the first time at the PalaVerde The youth of Zagreb who will appear in front of the reigning champions to at least try to take away some “relics” from the European night.
Who knows if Santarelli will decide to give a rest shift to Gabioverflowing as usual in the last match of the championship against Scandicci. A bit of turnover is in the air, but with the roster full it is likely that some surprises could escape us. The rest of the goal is the same as always: go to the bottom of the competition and reiterate to the whole world who is really in charge.
