Only one player had a strange issue regarding the national team jersey. It’s Ivan Zaytsev, who was expelled from Italian squad because Perugia’s player wanted to wear Adidas shoes, specially designed for his feet, refusing to wear Mizuno’s shoes, who is the sponsor of the national team.
One thing is pretty much sure – these players have left a huge emptiness, but that’s just the way it is. The show must go on.
List of 13 stars that will miss EuroVolley:
Ivan Zaytsev (Italy)
Marko Ivovic (Serbia)
Dmitriy Kovalev (Russia)
Klemen Cebulj (Slovenia)

This list only another warning for CEV and FIVB to improve their coordination and management skills. It is enough to compare this year a representation calendar for Europe with Far- East Asia and Australia, where they had finished this season one month ago… However this list is not complete, there are many others who can not participate… Moreover tired players will face injuries as consequences from such a difficult season on a European Championship and also later on during starting of national leagues.. Yet such signals are more – empty halls/arenas on many events – including nowadays M Wch 2017 U23, except for on home teams, very few viewers Int/Tv even on top NT matches etc..
