While Shinsuke Ishikawa is excellent at sacks, he is a mediocre pass rusher and is undersized at just 1.7 meters. With that, can he be a starter? The answer is a no-brainer. It's better to join a high level league than to stay in a low level league. I really hope that more players will step into the international arena next season!
The Rise of Antropova
Italian media broke the news that Italy and Russian Federation and the International Volleyball Federation, FIVB, have agreed on an agreement to annul the judgment of the International Court of Arbitration for Sport, TAS, in Lausanne, thus ending the controversial case of Ekaterina Antropova. As of next season, Antropova will open a new procedure for the conversion of her nationality status.
This means that Antropova will be the local powerhouse of the Serie A women's volleyball team next season, and the Scandinavians will free up a foreign aid slot as a result. It is worth mentioning that Antropova is 2 meters tall and has outstanding offensive ability. When she was young, she was expected to become a capable replacement for Agnew and join the Italian national team. By then, the Italian women's volleyball team will undoubtedly be on a higher level!
