Matthias is almost correct. I would say:
Chaa-la and Digle but you have to pronounce g as in Germany.

WGP 2017 has been completed for Turkey
my evaluation on selecting the players for the main squad/team A amongst the players who took partin WGP 2017
i would choose amongst Fatma Yıldırım,Meliha Ismailoğlu,Hande Baladın,Beyza Arıcı for the team-A
Hande Baladın or Meliha Ismailoğlu as offensive OH?
actually Hande Baladın is young and should improve as OH..Meliha Ismailoğlu is more experienced than her..i think i would perfer Meliha to her for the upcoming tournaments..Baladın will be the future of this team
Güldeniz Önal or Fatma Yıldırım as defensive OH ?
Fatma''s performance was ok.Gamze's connection may be better with Güldeniz (they played in the same club last season) These are close players..I think I would prefer Güldeniz Over Fatma..i wont be suprised if Fatma is chosed
my main squad composition would be like :
Setters : Naz Aydemir Akyol,Gamze Alikaya
OPP : Polen Uslupehlivan,Meryem Boz
OHs : Gözde Kırdar (formerly Sonsırma) , Neriman Özsoy (her new surname ??) ,Güldeniz Önal,Meliha Ismailoğlu
MBs : Eda Erdem Dündar,Kübra Akman Çalışkan,Dicle Nur Babat,Beyza Arıcı
Ls : Hatice Gizem Örge,Melis Yılmaz
maybe 5 OHs (Hande Baladın as the fifth OH) + 3 MBs could be as well (one of Dicle and Beyza out)
17 players roster for U23 team:
Setters: Cagla Akin, Ezgi Dilik, Cansu Ozbay
Opps: Nursevil Aydinlar (also setter), Tutku Burcu Yuzgenc
MBs: Asli Kalac, Su Zent, Zehra Gunes, Yasemin Guveli
OHs: Humay Topaloglu, Yagmur Mislina Kilic, Hande Baladin, Ada Germen, Saliha Sahin
Liberos: Bihter Dumanoglu, Ayca Aykac, Melis Yilmaz
The players who are eligible but missing in the roster are Beyza Arici (MB) and Tugba Senoglu (OH). It is surprising to see Saliha instead of Tugba, although she is quite a good receiver, her attacking stats were bad in last WCh U21
All in all, this is a good roster with promising players. We could expect a medal from this team
I agree with Serdar on most. I actually think Nursevil will be a very good opposite, much better than other local OPPs we have in market today like Ceren Kestirengöz, Ceyda Aktas etc. She is smart and has good technique, all she needs is to improve her strength.
I also would like to watch Cansu as setter and Nursevil as Opp.
For the MBs, I dont agree at all on Zehra being better than Asli. Zehra proved nothing yet except playing in a mediocre team and she had some incredible performances as well as bad ones. She reminds me of Kubra Akman a lot. I will definitely not protest if Ataman prefers a more experienced and faster MB with better serves, Asli. As far as I remember, Asli was actually running slides in her first season in GS. I think all three MBs will have time on court, it all depends on who is having a bad time that day.
I think OHs will be confusing because I really liked Mislina in Baku this summer. Her receiving was very solid and she did fine in attacking too. However I guess we will see Hande Baladin-Ada German (or Saliha) duo as OHs. Depending on how good Hande attacks, she might be shifted to opposite while Mislina comes in.
Feels like it is a good squad with many alternatives. I hope Ataman will keep the fast game style he has in GS with this team. I have a feeling that setters Cansu and Ezgi can play that kind of game.
here is the Turkish team for Europpean championship .
3 of them will be out
setters: Gamze, Naz
oh's: Gözde, Neriman, Tuğba Şenoğlu, Güldeniz
opp's: Neslihan, Polen, Melis Durul, Meryem
Libero's Gizem Örge, Simge Aköz, Merve Dalbeler
mb's: Eda Erdem, Beyza Arıcı, Kübra, Bahar Toksoy
there is no surprise
but Hande is out and she is in u-23 team
and we saw that guidetti isnt affected the performans of fatma, meliha, şeyma
Tugba Şenoğlu is in, she played in Besiktaş last seasson and she will play for vakıfbank this year
she was the best second scorer in u-20 world championship this year in mexico
and also she was in dream team best OH
she is 19 years old
i'm a little bit mad. Because Seda must be in this team instead Melis
Seda is a good bloker and better attacker than Melis
i think that Melis, Beyza, and one of the libero simge/merve will be out
I thought Neslihan and Gozde had retired?
For me, only surprise is that Tugba is in instead of Seda. Tugba was quite scorer at U20, but her attacking ratios were not convincing. However, Guidetti was always right with his investments on young players so it might pay off at the end. Decision of not taking Hande is really fair, she did not show anything promising during GP. I hope she will perform better at U23. By the way, I don't think Beyza will be out since she is not in U23 roster although she is still eligible to play there. In the case of bringing Tugba, I would have still keep seda in the roster as Opp with Neslihan. If Neriman gets injured during the tournament, there is no one to replace her except Seda.

they come back to Guidetti
Guidett wanted them

i dont know why gui dont choosed Seda this is shock for me
Seda is an experienced player. she played very well in Galatasaray. and she was pretty good with centoni... they carried GS to champions leage
Tuğba will be a good player but Seda is a monster in block
she can defance and play at OH also
we need a player like Neriman. And Seda / Hande are the options...
Hope that it wont be a problem
i think that Gui will choose her wife instead Beyza
So happy to see Guidetti bringing some of the best promising youngsters and trying to adapt them into the NT. Seda is good but nothing special imho. Who knows what Beyza and Tugba can do. These are the kind of players we need for next olympic cycle so I don't see anything weird about taking super talented 18 y/o OH Tugba instead of 30 y/o Ok-ish Seda... Great decisions so far
Yeah Hande didn't do great, but what did Melis Durul did?
I'm pretty sure Melis is the next one to be cut.
16 players that went to Germany for friendlies according to http://www.voleybolunsesi.com/…p?cid=07&id=34533&topic=2
Setters: Naz Aydemir, Gamze Alikaya
Opps: Neslihan Demir, Polen Uslupehlivan, Meryem Boz
OHs: Gözde Kırdar, Neriman Özsoy, Güldeniz Önal, Tuğba Şenoğlu, Hande Baladin
MBs: Eda Erdem, Kübra Akman, Bahar Toksoy
Libero's Gizem Örge, Simge Aköz, Merve Dalbeler
Beyza Arıcı seemst to be out Hande Baladin is in. Beyza was not listed in the initial U23 roster whereas Hande was there. One of liberos Merve or Simge will be cut but don't know who will be the last cut. It could be any of Hande, Tuğba, Meryem or Polen
Polen or Meryem will be out obviously, I would drop Polen...She and Neslihan are very similar players, Neslihan does everything better.
Meryem is more dynamic than both, she can attack from back row, hit over the block...Brings dynamism and versatility.
Roster with 3 MBs and 5 OHs is a smart move by Guidetti. Turkey is offensively very limited and considering Neriman's reception problems, backup OHs offensive contribution is very important.
I would like to see Meliha instead of Hande, but I guess Guidetti has problems with her attitude. (i.e. lack of commitment)
The final 12 roster for U23 team:
Setters: Cagla Akin, Ezgi Dilik, Cansu Ozbay
Opps: Nursevil Aydinlar (also setter), Tutku Burcu Yuzgenc Ebrar Karakurt
MBs: Asli Kalac, Su Zent, Zehra Gunes, Yasemin Guveli Beyza Arıcı
OHs: Humay Topaloglu, Yagmur Mislina Kilic, Hande Baladin, Ada Germen, Saliha Sahin, Tuğba Şenoğlu
Liberos: Bihter Dumanoglu, Ayca Aykac, Melis Yilmaz
Beyza Arıcı and 17 years old Ebrar Karakurt are added to the previously announced roster. Since Melis Yılmaz is not here, either she has been added to the roster with senior team or she had an injury. Also both Tuğba Şenoğlu and Hande Baladin are in U23 roster, I am curious who will be the 4th OH next to Gözde, Neriman and Güldeniz Since Seda is already training with her club, I guess Guidetti will take all 3 Opps instead of 4th OH, which might not be a bad idea since Neslihan could play as attacking OH in the case of Neriman's injury. Another question mark is 4th MB, if Beyza is not there, who will be the last MB next to Eda, Kübra and Bahar. Was Dicle called back?
I liked the U23 roster overall, it is the strongest one that we can indeed get. It is a good mixture of experienced and very young players: six players are 22 years old, one 21, one 20, two 19, one 18 and one 17-years old.
PS: I realized that Melis Yılmaz was not in 22- wide roster of ECh, the reason should be simply trainer choice.
I like this u23 and seems Ebrar Karakurt rise is unstoppable atm. Only thing Cagla is so so overrated tbh. I'd take Cansu Özbay over her any day. At least we stille have Ezgi who is the best setter in this age group imo by a mile.
Both Hande and Tuğba should be in the ECH roster. Guidetti was watching the friendly game vs Çanakkale..
Why are not they training with the senior team? I think he wants them to have more game experience before the ECH.
European Championship is a short, 6-7-game tournament, 3 MBs should be enough. Netherlands does not even have the 3rd
My wish for the final roster
Naz, Gamze
Meryem, Neslihan
Eda, Kübra, Bahar
Neriman, Gözde, Hande, Tuğba, Güldeniz
Örge, Merve
Guidetti might try a two-libero system..
Hande should be the backup opposite..
Neslihan should be in because, she's the only exceptional server on the team, and for her experience..
She's better than Polen anyway.

Didn't you say that Ebrar will play in Japan next year?

I agree with you that we don't really need a 4th MB and maybe Gui will add both Tuğba and Hande to ECh roster right after U23 although there will be only 5-6 days in between two tournaments.
I wouldnt be so sure about Ebrar. I think it is a good experience for her after all but she played with %10 in attacking in the friendly game against Canakkale today and she got blocked like 5-6 times. It is unfortunate that she will play in Vakifbank's B team which is in 2nd division, not even 1st
I think Guidetti will pick one OH from this U23 team for sure. I still think Tugba deserves the chance more than Hande but lets see how they perform in U23. From what I saw in the friendly against Canakkale, Cagla is playing much better under Ataman's coaching. He must have a good connection with setters

Vakıfbank should loan both Ebrar and Derya Cebecioğlu to Beşiktaş, it worked quite well with Zehra and Tuğba last season. Since Beşiktaş was already planning to reduce their budget, both Eczacıbaşı and Vakıfbank can loan their players from 2000 generation to Beşiktaş.
