Turkey barely beat Ukraine 3-1.It seems very tough match
lets see if who/any talent will come up from this generation ? MB Damla Tokman played with 14 points.passing seems weak.according to Cev page, libero Gülce Güçtekin played a good gamesome interesting results :
Belarus beat Serbia 3-1
Bulgaria beat Russia : 3-2according to Romanian's coach Italy has a strong team and the biggest fav. for the title.there are two black italian/afro-italian girls in the team.Seems Italy keep discoving its black power

i wish laola would broadcast some matches from U17 Girls ECH..
btw..World of volley, considers Valeriia Gorbunova who is currently playing in U17 ECH for Russia, amonsgt the most promising young female volleyball players
-
in POOL II : Italy beat Turkey 3-1..as far as i see there arent any /certain promising players in turkey talking depending on the stats
German team is also doing well..
i guess italy will advance to the semifinal and one of Germany and Turkey will advance too..Germany is likely to advance
Turkey beat Romania 3-2..Germany beat 3-0..poo I is very intricate...4 teams have 2-1 W-L
btw..Romanian Ioana Alexia CARUTASU seems to be a promising player

Looking at the stats of this tournament, many teams put up ridiculously high numbers of aces and terrible reception numbers. IMO this is not good for the long-term development of the players because it means that other skills can't be learned in a way they'll need it as senior players. For example how will we have strong middle hitters in the future when the juniors don't get to attack quick balls at all due to too strong serving and bad reception?
A few years ago I saw something interesting in a youth tournament in Austria: players had to serve underhand, everything else was forbidden. It ensured more/longer rallies for sure...maybe something similar could be implemented on international youth level to reduce the dominance of serving

Turkey beat Germany 3-2
as far as i understood..Turkey used the match ball in the fourth set but Germany managed to win that set 27-25 then in the tie break Turkey lead first 13-7 then 14-10 (this reminded me of epic Fener-Eczacı semifinal tie break last season )but German girls made it 15-15 then Turkey won 17-15Turkey is receiving with four players at least for this match (even the OPP of the team is receiving)
5 players played almost 10 and over points for Turkey ,this number was 3 for German team
Both teams seem weak at blocking : 6 and 5 blocks in a 5-set match are very few
Germany made 18 passing errors ,Turkey 11 ones
Best scorers : passing OPP Sude Hacımustafaoğlu 21 points,Lane henke 20 pointsNow Germany has to beat Italy (the best team of the pool) to advance to the Semis.
If Italy beats Germany in any results and Turkey beat the Netherlands then Italy and Turley would advance..
If Germany beats Italy then Italy adn Germany would advance to the Semis -
Italy beat Germany 3-0 and Turkey beat the Netherlands 3-1..Italy and Turkey advanced to the Semifinals in Pool 2
Russia and Bulgaria advanced to the Semifinals from Pool 1semifinals :
Italy vs. Bulgaria
Russia vs.Turkeyi guess Italy vs. Russia final as first possibility
Italy vs.Turkey as second possibility
Bulgaria vs.Russia as third possibility
Bulgaria vs.Turkey as fourth possibiliy -
Turkey beat the Netherlands 3-1 but the reception of Turkey was pretty bad : % 25 positive and % 10 excellent
if they wants to beat Russian should receive,attack much better than that.
seems Sude Hacımustafaoğlu (passing OPP) is relatively better player.Elif Su Eriçiçek's percent is pretty low like in the former match
Sude,Sabire and Damla (MB) seem to be better/(relatively)more reliable players -
i guess Italy vs. Russia final as first possibility
It should have been so also in the men U18 ECh and it wasn't, so I won't give it for grantedAny links for the match?? I'm so sorry Laola doesn't air it

she made 20 points against Germany ( %52)
she made 21 poinst against Turkey

Somewhat surprising outcome, because mostly Russian girls make way to many mistakes in this age usually, but this time they did better. Anyway, overall the first three places for Russia, Italy and Turkey are no surprise at all; Serbia was better mostly the last years, but this year it didn't work out. A pity for Germany, which lost all chances for going to World Championships after good beginning in three matches against Turkey, Italy and Belarus and can only play in Baku next year the European Youth Olympic games as seventh of the EC. But this testifies once more the principal deficits in education in Germany, especially well visible in the last group match against Italy, where they were inferiour in every regard.
