The Marche derby on its first day! This is the spectacular verdict that emerged from the schedule drafting, during the spectacular closing day of the three-day Bologna volleyball transfer market. It was an intense day, which saw the important appointment of Fabio Fistetto as the new CEO of Lega Pallavolo Serie A, but also a delightful musical moment enhanced by the presence of a giant of Italian music, Ron.
The asymmetrical schedule is the big news, a first for volleyball, recently adopted also by the top football league: the order of the first leg matches does not necessarily correspond to the second leg, with the aim of compensating for any clashes with European cups and international commitments, in a season also anomalous in terms of the midweek rounds, which have risen to five. Grottazzolina is particularly unlucky in this regard, given that the home matches against Perugia and Civitanova will both be played on Wednesdays, on December 3rd (round 9) and January 14th (round 16), respectively.
