Friendly NT Matches

  • Kozuch was feeling sick this hole weekend. She wasnt in 100% condition to play. During the warm ups for a few times she stopped to breath a bit better.


    I think main problem for Germany right now is that they make a lot of mistakes. They need to reduce tht number. And they must keep the service agressive. MAny teams in Europe have an unstable reception, so could be a good point of start for them to explore that.

    Thanks for the info. Then I don't get why Pedulla let her play all the time. He seems to insist a lot on the starting six :S


    That's what I meant with my post in Germany NT topic. Pedulla's idea of the game is playing with high risk and always trying to score, and that just doesn't fit German team because the players are too weak in attack for that :S

  • what about any alternate for Stoltenborg ?( doesn't have Netherlands any at least decent S instead of Stoltenborg? maybe they should start trying Bongaerts or Molendijk...


    Bongaerts seems to be a good prospect for the future...but, she is still very young.


    She will play for Ladies in Black, Aachen in upcoming season... :win:

    Yes I agree. He insists to much in the startin six...he almost doesnt use the bench taticly.

  • Poland won the first set against Czech Republic 25-20. Definetly Poles make less errors. They are blocking good and Kaczorowska with Werblińska are scoring on serve. But Skowronska is often blocked and we barely can finish the point off, really weak attacks on double block... Wołosz is not playing well. Maj is good at digging.
