libero nihan yeldan
turkey played pretty well, especially neslihan and eda was great. ı would prefer naz as startıng setter, but pelın was not so bad.
spain was not ın theır best shape(ı hope so,or not team would not reach second round ın poland, by all means) especially setter lamas was awful, she never notıce which sıde there ıs anybody blockıng or not. spain team had lots of trouble wıth recevıng. neslıhan made many aces.
ıf they play lıke today, they can not wın any sıngle set agaınst azerbeıjan,too

Is it official that Seda Tokatlioglu will not be able to play in the European Championship? Are you sure?

Turkey 3 - 1 Azerbaijan

(29-27, 25-19, 17-25, 25-19)

Pelin was incredible. She was playing gorgeous. Middle-Blockers also were incredible, especially Eda. She has really talent. And I think she will be as good as Scott, Ravva or Gioli. She just need time Bahar also was so good. Deniz and Esra were good, too. But Deniz was better than Esra that match. Naz wasn't good and If Pelin go on like this, she will be first setter Neslihan wasn't play this match because of her illness.

in Azerbaijan, Mammadova was so good as per usual. Oksana and Kovalenko were good, too. Karimova and Korotenko were bad. Rahimova was good, she is a brilliant girl and I'm sure that Rahimova will be better. By the way, while I was watching, Maksimenko drew my attention, she has different style. Generally, Azerbaijan was good too, but Turkey was better moreover without Neslihan.
