    Vermeulen was not happy after the match: 'we need too many chances to make the pont. Our basic-level should improve! '.

  • If Germany continue play like this Croatia has chance to be 2. in Pool A :white:


    In this WCH will be a lot of suprise not only by Croatia but others teams too ...You will see ;)

  • 1st match of Dela Trophy


    GER - NED 3:0 (25-21, 25-16, 25-22)


    More info to follow, but according to DVV German team was superior in all elements. Winning one set tomorrow means winning the trophy, but I guess that's not quite the most important thing for German team now ;)

  • Netherlands 0-3 Germany (21-25, 16-25, 22-25)


    Vermeulen: It's the first time this season we lose 0-3. Before today, we only lost a few times by 2-3. We played particularly against ourselves today. It is sad we played below our level today, because in this great atmosphere we want to show the audience our best game.

    Guidetti says that he is very satisfied with the team's performance today,

  • I don't know what Gio's thinks, but I think Sassi may have the opportunity to play tomorrow's match.

    First of all, I don't understand why she was even invited. She restarted ball training just about 2 months ago after a 9 month break, so I'm pretty sure she's not in a shape to help the team now. I'd be very surprised if she makes the WCH team.

    Maybe her character/personality ? but I agree with the second part.

  • Apitz or Weiss mostly played ?
    Interesting for RCC if Apitz plays regularly in September and WCH with German NT.

  • DELA Trophy, 2nd match:


    The Netherlands 1-3 Germany (20-25, 25-22, 18-25, 22-25)


    Germany is winner of DELA Trophy 2014 :flower: :flower:


    Vermeulen: we deliberately chose strong opponents (Germany and Turkey) for our WCH-preparation. So, it's logical our weaknesses become clearly visible. We are still too unstable and we keep searching for the best mix of players. This weekend was a good lesson for us. It's a good experience for us to get so much pressure (by the opponent) on us'.
