22.09.2008 - TRENKWALDER MODENA... "ON BOARD OF THE SHIP": HERE IS THE NEW SHIRT OF THE LIBERO

Gala evening at the Palasport Giuseppe Panini in Modena. A few days before the beginning of the A1 Series Championship (Modena will make its début on Monday the 29th of September in Montichiari), Trenkwalder Modena will present itself officially to all its fans, friends and supporters. Before the evening started (at 9 pm), a press conference was held to present the new shirt of the libero. Pietro Pela (Vice President of Pallavolo Modena), Leonardo Caponi (Sportive Director of Pallavolo Modena), Paolo Casarini of "Backstage" and Brand Manager of "One Piece" and the two liberos of Trenkwalder Modena Pietro Rinaldi and Edoardo Ciabattini gave acte de presence. Modena is the cradle of volleyball and has always been a springboard and a leading club on a national and international level. Like last season, Pallavolo Modena presents an ad hoc partnership again this year for the shirts of the liberos. After Marvel, there is an other prestigious and captivating supporter. The fortunate association of Backstage together with Toei Animation goes on with "One piece", one of the most appreciated animation series amongst the Italian audience, that the Japanese Licensor entrusted to the Modenese organisation again. "One Piece", known in Italy as "All'arrembaggio" (board a ship), is a Shonen Manga that came out first in Japan in 1997 and in Italy in 2001. In 1999 an animation has been made based on the fortunate cartoon, produced by Toei Animation. After the extraordinary success in Japan, Mediaset decided to program the series again from the beginning of July 2008 with 102 unpublished episodes. "One Piece", that is broadcasted 5 days a week at 4.05 pm, is getting very high ratings with an average of 1.700.000 viewers a day with peaks up to 2.300.000. Pietro Rinaldi and Edoardo Ciabattini, the two liberos of Trenkwalder Modena, will put Rubber's clothes on, the young pirate who dreams of having the power to elongate himself and change into any shape and who wants to become "King of the pirates". To reach that he will have to find the dream of every pirate: the legendary treasure "One Piece". There is a crew of 6 friends around him who help him with his search (6 + 1, just like a volleyball team!). Adventure and bravery, positive values and team spirit, ambition and commitment, dreams and hopes: Toei Animation and Trenkwalder Modena share goals and projects. Rinaldi and Ciabattini are ready to guide Trenkwalder Modena "All'arrembaggio" (on board of the ship)!!!

Palasport Giuseppe Panini (Modena) – A nice victory was reached by Trenkwalder Modena in the prestigious friendly match of today’s afternoon at Palasport Giuseppe Panini against Panathinaikos Athens, the line-up that will join the next Champions League. A very positive performance of the Gialloblù team that’s preparing itself for its debùt in the championship (Monday the 29th of September in Montichiari).
Andrea Giani (without Lee, Murilo and Dennis) has lined up setter Travica with Kooistra opposite hitter, Sartoretti and Siebeck hitters in position 4, Tencati and Sidao central. Whereas Panathinaikos played with Psrass in charge, Agamez opposite hitter, Andrae and Lapps hitters, Geric and Pantaleon central and Stefanov opposite hitter. From the second set Pagni in the field for Sidao, while from the third set hitter Bartoli played central for Tencati. First set in favour of the Greeks who were better at service and replay, while during the second set the Gialloblù set off and made the difference with blocks and with a great Siebeck. The third set is for Panathinaikos dragged by Agamez, but Trenkwalder wins the fourth set with Smuc in charge and with Pagni (5 personal blocks in total) and Kooistra (6 blocks in the match), determinded in attacks and blocks. The fifth set very balanced (still with Smuc as setter): in the end Modena wins 19-17.
Dragan Travica (Trenkwalder Modena setter): “It was a good test: also today showed that we are working a lot and well in this training period. We’re trying to find harmony in a new team and the feelings are positive. Sartoretti hitter? What can we say about Sarto: he has experience and quality, he doesn’t make us feel the change in position; and in the field he’s a player of great character, I would say a real captain. Kooistra? Really good, he is growing and so is our understanding. I’m also satisfied on a personal level: for now we go on working this way”.
On Sunday, from 4.30 pm, Trenkwalder Modena will play a fascinating tournament at Palasport di Carpi (Modena) with Copra Piacenza and Yoga Forlì.

17.09.2008 - ANDREA GIANI: "THE GROUP IS GROWING". TOMORROW, THURSDAY, TEST AT PALAPANINI WITH PANATHINAIKOS

After the transfer in Finland to join an international tournament, Trenkwalder Modena is in the sports club again from Tuesday to train at Palasport Giuseppe Panini while it’s facing the beginning of the championship (Monday the 29th of September “Monday Night” in Montichiari).
This morning we had a moment at the Gialloblù home base with trainer Andrea Giani. “The tournament in Finland? Very positive experience, it was important to play these matches in this part of the season. We did well in the first two (with Valepa and Eltmann), in the third (with Loimu) I shuffled the cards a bit and put the young players in the game, and we were able to manage the fifth set a lot better (Modena won 8-2 and 14-11 before yielding 17-15). I would have liked it if the young players had the satisfaction of winning that match. In general I’m satisfied with this month and a half of training: I see so much enthousiasm, I see a group that’s growing and I am struck by the self-sacrifice and effort the guys put into every training – continues Andrea Giani – The casualties? We shouldn’t think about who isn’t there (Dennis, Lee and Murilo). We are very confident and think positively, this is the team that will play in Montichiari and we know we can do very well. Travica and Kooistra? The “diagonal” is going up. Wytze is getting more and more confident in his new position, sure, he still has to work on some types of balls, especially the spike, but he has everything he needs to reach high levels, while Dragan appears to be the “catch” of the leader.
FRIENDLY: TOMORROW, THURSDAY, PANATHINAIKOS AT PALAPANINI. Tomorrow afternoon, on Thursday the 18th of September, around 5 pm (the warming up starts at about 4.30 pm), Trenkwalder Modena and the Greeks of Panathinaikos Athens, who will also join next season’s Champions League, will be playing a friendly match at Palasport Giuseppe Panini.
