France - Ligue Nationale de volley 2015-2016

    In the begining of the season Camera had some really bad games. Moreover, she was not playing how Fang wanted her to play... I guess she was having a lot of pressure being first setter in Cannes. Know she understand better what Fang is expecting from her, and with Akulova joining the team she has less pressure. Since then she is playing with more créativity and I think her game fit way more cannes' team.
    Akulova was not even able today to deliver good set on position 4.


    I don't know if it makes Camera Nationnal team matériel, it will depend on if she find a good club in italy were she Cannet play as first setter (last year she had no proposition as first setter un serie A1).

    Half of their team played in Italy and they have 3 italians in their roster. I just wonder if Angeloni is playing. As far as I remember she was injured.

    Quote from Matthias

    Any info about St Raphael? They finished regular season only as 7th but now marched through to final and also beat Cannes twice in regular season. Why did they finish only 7th then?


    Well, St Raphaël had up and downs this season. They were able to win against the best teams, and the following game to loose against the worst one. Seems that They love challenging games.


    Angeloni is not playing. Vindevoghoel and Kajalina are the main scorer on the team, Gomiero and libéro Giardino are doing a fantastic job in defense. And their middles are good scorers and know how to block.
    Their main weapon IMO is their serve wich is really agressive.

    I'm pretty sure this 37 yo Vindevoghel is still better than Leys, Vandesteene and Rousseaux :whistle:

    Quote from Angel

    Lisbeth is playing so good in every element! Saint Raphael receives and defenses like a machine! :box:


    I second that, they are playing really well and I hope they somewhat manage to stop Kodola who's leading Cannes almost by herself.
    Vindevoghel definitely the key of her team both in defense and attack.
