European Championships 2011

  • BTW Turkey made 21 serve error :white: and 7 of them from bahar :down: It is way to much :mad: Italy did only 8 error while serving.


    Congratulations for Gülden she was the hero of the match with EDA :win:

  • Congratulations Turkey- Italy has got its lesson!
    I wanted Italy to win in 3 sets though,but as we lost to be second I am quite glad that Turkey outclassed Italy and the referees!
    Good job girls- now they have to think that all the teams here-are for battle!

  • Ehh... :D
    Poland beat Czech Rep. in straight sets and should have no problem with taking the 1st place in the group. I expect another 3:0 against Romania, but maybe Świderek will give a rest some players, e.g. Skowrońska.


    Croatia is out early - as always in last years.
    Bulgaria didn't even won a single set and coming back home as well. Where are those times, when Bulgarians were fighting for medals? They're gone...


    Nice job by Spain :) The playoff is a good result for them.
    Congratulations also for Turkey :drink: No matter how the game was...

    The most important 3:
    POLAND-SZCZECIN-VOLLEYBALL


    5th place - Prediction Game - World League 2011 :D

  • Hmm.. I have a little feeling that Spain will beat Turkey because:

    1. Turkey for sure thinks about the Quarter-Final against World Champion.
    2. The pressure is on Turkey which must win, Spain will play without nerves.

  • Yesterday Azeri girls played really bravely!
    Oksana Parkhomenko is back after serious injury (she had not played for 8 month) in every meaning of this word-she was amazing! 4blocks ,4attacks-she was the best digger of the court-did everything for her team to win!
    Natalya Mammadova- even having serious injury on shoulder-she took the game on her shoulder and showed how important she is for us!
    Kseniya Kovalenko- was one of the heroines of the match with her blocks,serves and attacks!
    Polina Rahimova- wonderful star is rising!
    Valeriya Korotenko - she is the Best! She can keep the back line game alone!
    Yelena Parkhomenko- after two years missign volley from 2007-2009 she is back to her previous from! Bravo!
    Odina Aliyeva-is playing her first tournament for Azeri Nt- she has a lot of potential- time will help!

  • Rahimova after the match between Crotia : I don't know what to tell actually. Let's talk when I play good. I'm not satisfied with my game :rose:

  • Kk15, I am not saying that only Italy makes schemes, but that one - 2:0 to 2:3 is mostly Italian as tactic, although Russia did it with the Men's team last year at the WCH. And by Italy I mean Italy NT, not 60 mln people :drink:


    Of course, is a tactic. We like to lose. So much! Infact we prepared schemes and train to be able to lose. We work hard for that, morning and afternoon, day after day.


    And I'm not taking it as personal (60 mln people), I'm simply angry you're kinda insulting my NTs, supposing - and not for the first time - that we managed to lose (why we had to do that????? for what reason????).


    Oh, BTW, we also lose on porpuse the final vs Serbia. Berruto had an agreement with Parodi to let Terzic made ace, you know. :thumbdown:



    ps: if you had pay much attention, you would have know that yesterday Italy didn't lose from 2-0 to 2-3. It was 1-0 for Italy; 1-2 for Turkey (the second set was really tie, the third we played very badly); 2-2 for Italy. And then we lost the tie break. On porpuse, of course, because we as a said before we losing is our hobby in the free time.


    And the girls until yesterday had won 19 match in a row in the ECh.

    EDIT


    Well, in italian website they say she played quite well... Why she was upset about her playing?


    "Azerbaijan
    I più:
    Mammadova (27) e Rahimova (23) confezionano 50 punti avvicinando entrambe il 50% in attacco (45% e 48%). Stavolta sono sufficienti per vincere la partita.
    I meno: Di nuovo Aliyeva. 0 punti; 2 attacchi murati e 1 errore su 4 tentativi; il 14% di ricezioni perfette con 2 errori su 7 tentativi; 3 errori in battuta su 9 tentati."



    But I think it should be the opposite, you've to explain when you played badly, not when you play well....



    btw, Croatia did exaclty like Belgium in male ECh. :what:


  • I can understand her, of course she was upset about that, but honestly is too easy to speak when you played well...


    Like Velasco (I think...) said: who won celebrate, who lost explain.


    btw, Croatia did exaclty like Belgium in male ECh. :what:


    If the things are like you said then İ am agree with you- Italy could win in any score they wanted- it is unjuctice against us! But anyway I happy that we qualified!

  • They say in Croatia specialist explain the match Turkey-Italy as a submitted match! azerisport.com


    Read my answer to raylight, please.


    Thanks for thinking that we are unbeatable! That if we lost it's because we planned it, not because the other team did better than us and was more motivated:whistle: We are so good that nobody can beat us unless we don't let him, is that what you think? :lol:



  • The think I like she is not satisfied, she knows that she can play better and she will! :box:

  • If Italy really didn't care this match why Leonardi crushed herself in field and almost digged every balls and why Barbolini did many substitutions to change result.He did everything to win.Actually after 1st set i had no hope but probably our girls remembered to go home :D than changed their minds and tried to play their best after they started to broke Italy's reception and took 2 sets in row.Which host team would like to send their specators to home with a bad game?I think noone.

    :thumbup:

  • To tell the truth yes! I think Italy could have won this match 3-0 if they wanted!
    Damir Jurko says Italy guarranteed the first place so they played for money )


    who cares what he says anyway? Who could have believed Croatia would beat Turkey with 3-0 before that match? Favorites do not always win. Being favorite on paper does not bring success if you don't fight. And actually Italy fought yesterday. Anuway those arguements won't change anything. I'm sorry for Croatia, too. I love most of Croatian players.
