Pompiliu Dascalu (Men)

Cette année encore une fois, nous allons essayer de réitérer nos performances précédentes et de gagner la coupe. Je considère ce tournoi comme un moment propice pour commencer la transition concernant l'équipe nationale et j'ai décidé de convoquer plusieurs joueurs de l'équipe U20 (qui va disputer le tournoi MEVZA en janvier 2024): Christian Galoppo (2005), David Zehren (2006), Charel Schmitz (2006), Luca Modard (2006), Leon Czapor (2006). J'ai bon espoir que vous allez les voir évoluer aux côtés des plus anciens, (Gilles Braas ou Chris Zuidberg par exemple).

We are just a few days away from the NOVOTEL CUP and unfortunately Scotland, England and Bulgaria U18 canceled their partecipation at the last moment! Despite everything, it is always a thrill to play the competition even if only against one national team, Austria U20, a very strong national team that will test the potential of our Red Lionesses. 

Despite the injuries of 2 important players, Julie Téso (Setter) and Carole Gruneklee (Middle Blocker), despite the absence of Cindy Schneider (Middle Blocker) for work reasons, the players and our entire staff, we are excited to play up front our public to show how the sacrifices of recent months have produced excellent results, raising the level of many young athletes. 

This tournament will be important to prepare for the MEVZA, the U20 competition which will be held in Slovenia next 3-7 January 2024 and will also be important to amalgamate the Senior group for the SILVER LEAGUE which will be played at the end of May. 

Looking forward to play this Novotel Cup and GO RED LIONS
