I wouldn't want to be in the place of Vakifbank's players in the next training session. Guidetti is going to be unforgiving

well. Guddetti makes the third set a training game for all bench players. I think only he has the guts to do that(he is both turkey NT coach and Club coach）.

I am sorry but no single starting player deserved to be at court instead of the bench players. Not Zhu, not Rasic, Not Naz and not Gözde or Kübra or Gizem. Imo he should have made the changes even earlier. Tuğba for Gözde, Zehra for Kübra, Kelsey for Zhu and Ayca for Gizem. Instead he chose to not do this and replace Zehra for Kübra for only 2 minutes while Zehra was doing already much better.

Quoted from "ryleybarnes"

Zehra should have been started. She is already better than Kubra.
Robinson came in and didnt bring any better reception​ nor attack. Huge loss since Kim Hill is so much better than her and again Naz is a real problem of the team, she is even worse than Pankova.
It was just not their day, but more important​ly they need to step up their game soon.

Quoted from "ryleybarnes"

I dont know Vakifbank is this weak. Is Zhu as useless as Kosheleva?

Quoted from "ryleybarnes"

Even Henan's setter could​nt make Zhu look this fool.

Quoted from "usantvolleyball"

By USA measurement standards, hitting efficiency, (attacks divided by the sum kills minus errors and blocks) Zhu was 0/22. She had 5 kills with 5 errors for a hitting efficiency of zero. By comparison Bosko was at 50% at 16/32. By the time Zhu came back in to the front row it was already 20-9 and Vakif had only one complete rotation with Zhu never getting back to the front. That last set reminds me of last years incredible comeback by Vaki's subs against ECZ which seemed to break ECZ after their hot start when they won the early Club World Championships. I wonder what impact this loss will have on Vakif going forward?

Quoted from "usantvolleyball"

Can someone confirm that this season CL eligibility will be decided by position in the regular league standings and not by the end of season playoffs?

Quoted from "usantvolleyball"

Of course this is the Club season and not NT season and everyone knows that Bosko and Zhu are the keys to their teams success. Today Bosko completely out delivered for her team. If Zhu's injury is chronic then Vakif will certainly struggle this year in CL against Imoco and Novara especially as it seems that Robinson is a downgrade from Hill.

Quoted from "USAvolleyfan"

Oh my god guys.. it's only one match, only one loss.. Zhu has been the key player for Vakifbank in so many matches, today she was bad, as well as every other player in Vakifbank.. also we have to give credit to Eczacibasi which played a very good first set.. they covered every single ball and managed to touch so many attacks woth their block.. I remember neither Zhu, Gozde, nor Sloetjes could get the ball down during that set..
