30.10.2008 - TRENKWALDER AGAINST CUNEO. MURILO AND TENCATI SPEAK
Trenkwalder Modena is at work in Palasport G. Panini. Next Sunday, on the 2nd of November, the Gialloblù players will be engaged in the second away match in a row in the field of Bre Banca Cuneo (starting at 6 pm). A match in the 6th round of the first half of the A1 TIM Series that is particularly difficult and intriguing.
We spoke with two experienced players of Trenkwalder this morning: Brasilian hitter Murilo Endres and central Luca Tencati.
"We made so many technical individual mistakes in Piacenza and we didn't have the right spirit - Murilo Endres emphasises - We talked about it and the organisation also made itself heard: we all want to react immediately and we're giving everything we can during the training. What did the organisation tell us? This year's goal is to try to improve ourselves and the first step is the Italian Cup. We have to get better and score points to be in the best eight, and play the Italian Cup, for now aiming for the semifinals. We are thinking about Cuneo now: a very difficult match against one of the strongest teams of the championship. My contract? We just talked about it with the organisation and they should give an answer within the end of 2008. I'm very happy in Modena, if I stay in Italy it will be with the Gialloblù shirt without any doubt. The possibility of going back to Brasil is purely related to my personal life and to the wedding with Jaqueline (his girlfriend who's playing in the Women's A1 in Scavolini Pesaro today, ed)."
"We could lose in Piacenza, but we should show a different attitude, the one we showed during the first couple of matches - Luca Tencati says - We have to think out what happened and start again immediately with the enthusiasm and willingness to get better, which are our characteristics. We want to react so we want to go to Cuneo and play aggressively, thinking about our game and our quality. I'm getting better personally and I'm ready to play my part. We are a very competitive crew, we're a bunch of good players and I'm sure this represents a richness and an important resource: in the course of the season we will need all of the players."

28.10.2008 - TRENKWALDER AT WORK. SPORTS DIRECTOR CAPONI SPEAKS. LAST DAYS FOR THE SEASON TICKETS
Trenkwalder Modena came back to the sports club this morning, on Tuesday the 28th of October. A double training session at Palasport Giuseppe Panini for Andrea Giani's guys. After the defeat in Piacenza they're focusing on next Sunday's away match, on the 2nd of November against Bre Banca Lannutti in Cuneo.
"We shouldn't dramatise the defeat in Piacenza, but yes, we should think it out - Sports director of Modena Volleyball Leonardo Caponi explains - We worked well during the week, we didn't expect this kind of performance. I'm a bit disappointed by the combative attitude of the team, it feels a bit bitter since we're all sure we're worth more than this and we know we can do better. We'll meet internally with the technical staff and the players today: we want to understand exactly what went on in Piacenza. I don't want this match to waste anything else, we need to understand what went wrong to avoid making these mistakes again and to get better again. We have to recover right away and score points for the classification. Cuneo? We have two other very difficult matches ahead against Cuneo and Trento. Bre Banca is a complete and extremely strong team, but I would like to see us play in Cuneo and go for it. I want to emphasise how willing the guys are to redeem. The Championship? All the strongest teams are in it, I'm not even surprised to see a balanced and strong team like Montichiari in the top and also Pineto is doing really well."

25.10.2008 - ON SUNDAY COPRA PIACENZA WILL PLAY AGAINST TRENKWALDER MODENA (6:30 PM ON SKY SPORT). TOMASINI SAYS: "THE TEAM IS FOCUSSED"
It's all ready for the fifth day of the A1 TIM league. On Sunday the 26th Trenkwalder Modena will play an interesting and difficult game against one of the best teams in the league, Copra Nordmeccanica, coached by Angelo Lorenzetti (who has coached Cimone Volley in the past).
In the meantime Andrea Giani, head coach of the blue and yellow team, has come back to Modena after entering the Volleyball Hall of Fame at Holyoke (USA) on Thursday evening.
This week all the training sessions were led by Giani's assistant coach, Andrea Tomasini, who has always been in touch with his head coach. "It's been a good week," says Tomasini, "we have worked well. We have constantly been focussed and this means the team is strong and ready to play. The team has helped in managing the training sessions successfully and I have made sure they were involved in preparing the match against Piacenza. Copra Nordmeccanica is a good team, well-organised and made up of skilfull players. On top of that, it's quite a versatile team, since it can deploy a number of different line-ups, making good use of all its players--as it has done in the past. However, we will be focussed on the way we play; we're well aware of our strengths and we wish to improve on a daily basis. What's the key to win this game? Piacenza is an aggressive team and they serve very well. We can serve well too, though... And then, as we said during the week, we're working hard to keep the number of errors to a minimum. Angel Dennis? He's working with enthusiasm and he's getting better, even though he's still not back in shape. We'll see whether or not we'll ask him to play against Piacenza".
Radio and TV. On Sunday the 26th Copra Nordmeccanica Piacenza-Trenkwalder Modena will start at 6:30 pm and will be broadcast on Sky Sport 2 and by Radio Bruno (103.8 and on www.radiobruno.it).

24.10.2008 - ANDREA GIANI IN THE VOLLEYBALL HALL OF FAME: "I WAS OVERWHELMED: I ALMOST CRIED"
Andrea Giani has officially entered the Volleyball Hall of Fame!
Yesterday Giani took part in the Induction Ceremony in Holyoke, Massachusettes (USA), where William G. Morgan invented volleyball in 1985. He is now into the ark of glory, a rare honour, reserved for those who have contributed to shape the history of international volleyball. Two days of amazing emotions, lived by Giani together with his wife Emanuela, his brother in law Gabriele and the Markenting Manager of Pallavolo Modena, Johnny Poppi. In the Class of 2008 there are also the Japanese Masae Kasai Nakamura (captain of the Japanese national team which won the gold medal at the Olympic games in Tokio in 1964), the Ukrainian Yuriy Poyarkov (captain of the Ukrainian national team which won the gold medal at the Olympic games in Tokio in 1964), and the American Randy Stoklos (beach volleyball). The Volleyball Hall of Fame's Class of 2008 also includes the Turkish Sinan Erdem and the Russian Vladimir Savvine (both posthumously), who were selected in the official/administrator category.
More info on: www.volleyhall.org
"It's been one of the most exciting moments in my career. It was amazing: I didn't think I could have been so moved. I had to read the English speech I had prepared because my voice was trembling. Then everybody stood up and clapped their hands; I almost cried. All the inductees were overwhelmed. We were "breathing" the history of volleyball: it was such an incredible honour! I wish to thank all those people who were there for me throughout my career".
All the staff and athletes of pallavolo Modena say congrats to Andrea Giani!
Andrea Giani will get back to Italy tonight and tomorrow will be at Palasport Giuseppe Panini in Modena to lead his team's training session.
On Sunday the blue and yellow team will play the fifth match of the season (A1 professional league) in Piacenza against Copra Nordmeccanica (6:30 pm on Sky Sport 2).

23.10.2008 - ANDREA GIANI, HEAD COACH OF TRENKWALDER MODENA, AND THE "VOLLEYBALL HALL OF FAME": DAY 1
"It's amazing, a once-in-a-lifetime feeling", says Andrea Giani--an icon of Italian and international volleyball and head coach of Trenkwalder Modena--while getting ready to enter the Hall of Fame. Yesterday Giani arrived in Holyoke, Massachusettes (USA), where William G. Morgan invented volleyball in 1985. And yesterday, together with his wife Emanuela, his brother in law Gabriele and the Markenting Manager of Pallavolo Modena, Johnny Poppi, Giani got his "first taste" of the Hall of Fame. In the morning, at the Country Inn and Suites Hotel in Holyoke, Giani met the other three players who will be inducted in the Class of 2008: the Japanese Masae Kasai Nakamura, the Ukrainian Yuriy Poyarkov and the American Randy Stoklos (beach volleyball). The Volleyball Hall of Fame's Class of 2008 will also include the Turkish Sinan Erdem and the Russian Vladimir Savvine (both posthumously), who were selected in the official/administrator category.
The players had lunch together at Mount Holyoke College Campus in South Hadley (a few kms from Holyoke), where they had the chance to know each other and enjoyed the beautiful surrounding scenery. In the afternoon they were welcomed by the Mayor of Holyoke, Michael J. Sullivan, they met the American media and were interviewed by the Hall of Fame--these long interviews, called "Volleyball in Prospective", will become part of the Hall of Fame official archives. Later this evening (Italian time) there will be the official Induction Ceremony into the Volleyball Hall of Fame: Andrea Giani, who has won two silver medals and one bronze medal at the Olympic games and three World Championship titles (not to mention his victories with Italy's Men's national team and with Parma and Modena) will finally become a member of that illustrious "family" which has contributed to shape the history of volleyball.
As Doug Beal, Co-Chair of the Selection Committee, has said while explaining the reasons for Giani's induction, "Giani was probably Italy's most versatile player in the era of specilisation".
