-MOKI DE GENNARO IS NOW THE VOLLEYBALL PLAYER WITH THE MOST APPEARANCES IN THE HISTORY OF ITALIAN VOLLEYBALL
With the qualification for the championship semifinals (a goal always achieved in all seasons since the foundation in 2012) which will begin next Saturday at the Palaverde against the winner of Novara-Chieri, today in Bergamo in the 3-0 in game 2 of the quarterfinals two individual records arrived that will be real milestones in the history and career of Monica De Gennaro and Isabelle Haak.
In fact, Monica De Gennaro today in Bergamo overtook Francesca Piccinini and now with 631 games played (in which she entered the field) she is the player in the history of the championship with the most appearances, no one like her. Another great satisfaction and yet another recognition for the inimitable career of “Moki”, the 38-year-old from Campania who is judged the best libero in the world, who of these 631 matches has played 356 with Prosecco DOC Imoco Volley, with whom she has played continuously since 2013 (including the cups she is also very close to 500 appearances in yellow-blue).
His comment at the end of the match:
“It was wonderful to play today in this environment, there were a lot of people and a real playoff atmosphere, and then there were many champions who made the history of Italian volleyball, a great emotion. Among them also Francesca Piccinini, an athlete I respect very much, today I took away her attendance record, it means that I am getting old (smiles…), but I am really honored by this record and I thank you for the affection I have received from everyone. But we don’t stop there, records are archived, today we played a good game and qualified for the semifinals, we still have a lot of work to do this season.”
-ISABELLE HAAK HAS SURPASSED DE KRUIJF IN THE TOP SCORERS IN THE HISTORY OF THE YELLOW-BLUE CLUB’
Isabelle Haak, the Swedish star in her third year with the Conegliano shirt, on the other hand, with the 11 points scored in today’s match in Bergamo became the best scorer in the history of the yellow-blue club with 2576 points, surpassing in one fell swoop the record holder Robin De Kruijf (2567) and Paola Egonu (2566).
A historic day today, which rewrites the record book and makes the deeds of absolute top players in the history of world volleyball such as Monica De Gennaro and Isabelle Haak more and more immortal.
