Generazione di Fenomeni

This is the greatest volleyball team ever, wonderful guys who are now great men, with families, children, a regular job, a regular life, but their volleyball knowledge is still intact, they still have the "eyes of the tiger" when it about winning or losing a point.

In the week there are been the European Championships for Veterans, and, shall I say off course, we won.

It has been a long time since we started a volleyball competition beeing considered the #1 for the final victory, the teamto beat, the favorites for the final victory.

On the CEV web site it possible to see the results of the competitions; for the ones who understand Italian, there is a blog on the net, Generazione di Fenomeni a blog made and managed by them.

It's fantastic to have the opportunity to read about volleyball from the ones who have written the History of Volleyball, to read about gossips, sensations and memories of those unforgettable years: the years when, with our bench, we could won World Leagues; when we could won World Cups and European Championships with-out loosing a single match, when we lost an Olympic gold medal for an old non-sense rule (losing the tie-break 17-16....); when everybody in the wolrd was looking at them as examples to follow.

Great memories for an Italian, becasue if I want to think about good volleyball times, those are the ones I have to think about.

Here comes a quotation from the last post of their blog, after they won again:

"...to Carmelo, who has had the opportunity to close a circle which he started with the creation of <>, from where this "Generazione di Fenomeni" came out (even if I have to remember you that Time never comes back, the circle is not round)"
