Μπορεί να τους πίκρανε πέρσι το καλοκαίρι και η απώλειά του να αναστάτωσε σε σημαντικό βαθμό τον προγραμματισμό τους, όμως – όπως όλα δείχνουν – μπορεί να συνεργαστούν εκ νέου. Ο λόγος για τον Χοσέ Ριβέρα και τους διοικούντες του βολεϊκού Ηρακλή.
Ο έμπειρος και ικανότατος Πορτορικανός ακραίος, φαίνεται να… “ξεζουμίστηκε” για τα καλά από τον αγωνιστικό σχεδιασμό του Άντερς Κρίστιανσον στον Ολυμπιακό και, έχοντας πρώτα συμβάλλει τα μέγιστα στην κατάκτηση του φετινού νταμπλ από τους “ερυθρολεύκους”, του ανακοινώνουν ότι δεν θα τον χρειαστούν από τη νέα περίοδο, μιας και “κτυπούν” το μεγαθήριο, που ακούει στο όνομα Βάισμανς και τον Φινλανδό Κούναρι για τις θέσεις των ακραίων. Λέγεται, ότι ο Ριβέρα είναι πυρ και μανία με τον – “πολυαγαπημένο” του μέχρι τώρα, Κρίστιανσον – ο οποίος τον έφερε στον Ηρακλή και για χάρη του αθέτησε τη συμφωνία του με την ΕΑΠ Πατρών το καλοκαίρι, που πέρασε, για να τον ακολουθήσει στον Πειραιά.

The Penalty, in partnership with the Brazilian Volleyball Confederation (CBV), launched the Penalty D-Tech, a ball with new technology which help teams and arbitrators to clarify doubtful situations of ball landing.

"With the new system, you can know with precision if the ball fell inside or outside the court, beyond the speed at the time of the attacks. Again, the Brazilian volleyball is ahead of other countries. This innovation, of course, will be beneficial to the sport as a whole. We just have to gain from this new technology" - said Ary Graca, President of the CBV.


ANDREOLI LATINA - NAVA GIOIA DEL COLLE
3-0 (25-18; 25-21; 25-19)
Andreoli Latina: Cortina (L), Scuderi (L), Rosalba 6, Kovacevic 9, Tomasello 9, De Cecco 3, Moretti 8, Giombini 15. Dnp Zelic, Tomassetti, Torre, De Cecco, De Marchi. Coach. Ricci
Nava Gioia del Colle: De Andrade Silva 10, Rizzo (L), Concina, De Giorgi 2, Dias 16, Manassero, Rigoni 7, Polidori, Nuzzo, Belardi 5, Giosa, Niero, Gatto (L). Coach. Cannestracci
Latina stayed only a season in the A2. Indeed, it beat Gioia del Colle and won the playoff final series 2-1. This is the second time Latina goes back to the A1 through the playoffs after 2000-01. Once again, captain Giobini shined with 15 points but the whole team played well, with good perfroamnces at the net and on the serve. Gioia del Colle just couldn't cope with Latina's determination, who varied its attacking game a lot as Rosalba and Kovacevic's presence was felt too. On the other side of the net, only Dias was consistent, and the Brazilian was even limited by the opposite dig. Rosalba obtained the match point while the sold out crowd erupted on Niero's mistake on the serve which sent Latina right back in the elite. The season could not have gone any better. Latina won the Cup and returned to the A1: a great double!
Daniele Ricci (Andreoli Latina): "It's been a great game. We could have been on holiday a month ago, but at the end of the day, it's better like this. It's been a thrilling run of victories and what matters most is that we go up in the A1".
Jorge Canestracci (Nava Gioia del Colle): "Latina is a great team and it showed all its worth in this game. Ricci's men served extremely well and they were overall better than us".
