Croatia NT 2011

    great video ! what a match :super:


    young Delic :lol:


    and btw. In the matches with Belarus the roster will be the same as it was in matches with Romania ?

    According to Polish volleyball websites Croatia will participate in III Agata Mroz's Memorial in September

    Kirilova maybe leaving :(


    Yesterday after Croatia victory, Kirilova said in the repss interview she and the staff dont recieve for 2 months, and that the new Croatia Federation is not keeping with their promices...and if nothing changes till thursday she will resign...:( so that probably means no Osmokrovic in NT again too :(


    Kirilova: “We, and I am talking about myself and the coaching staff, have not been paid for 2 months and the newly formed Croatian Volleyball Organization does not stick to the promises they made when we started this job. If nothing changes until next Thursday, I will have to resign from my position as I do not see any alternatives to this situation”.

    Dear Mr. Wei, FIVB
    President,
    Dear Mr. Meyer, CEV
    President,
    Dear Mr. Matesa, COC
    President,
    Dear Mr. Rogge, IOC
    President,
    Dear Mr. Hickey, EOC
    President,



    It's been time that you get informed
    about the very critical situation in Croatian


    Volleyball. Just two days ago i and all
    my staff members (all italian and all


    professionals: assistant coach,
    phisical trainer, physioterapist and scoutman) of the


    Women's National Team had to resign
    because the Croatian Federation and its president Mr.


    Zdeslav Barac did not fullfil ANY of
    the obbligations they took with the National Team


    Staff and Players.


    It's time for the whole Volleyball
    World to know in which conditions these people (Staff


    and Players) are working since long
    time (years!!!). It was the "so-called-president" Mr.


    Barac who contacted me and we reached a
    "personal-gentleman-agreement" for me and my


    staff to become the Head Coach of the
    Croatian Women's National Team.


    I and my Staff as well as different
    young players started to work in the beginning of may


    and we took part to the European League
    with a list of 25 players and we were training


    all days with 16 of them. Well, we were
    all working for free (because we never get paid


    as promised by Mr. Barac) and all
    these persons are professionals (not amateur) who


    refused other opportunities
    because of the good proposal of Mr. Zdeslav Barac.



    We all were working hard, especially
    players, even in very bad conditions (traveling very


    late at night, very small buses, almost
    1 and half month without any uniform and when it


    arrived it was only the half of what
    federation promised us and our scoutman had to ask


    to the men's team to get some t-shirts
    because there was no uniform for him, no shoes, etc.


    etc.).


    Federation promised us 2 computers and
    2 radio (we needed it to work) but we had to buy


    them with our money (actually it was
    the scoutman buying these stuff with his money...and


    he didn't even get his money
    back from the federation    !!!! - this is just
    unbelivable!!!).


    Players should get paid with a very
    small amount of money for each day they work for the


    national team but...even if this amount
    is a true shame (something around 7 euro per


    day!!!) they did not get any of this
    money, never.


    Now Mr. Barac is complaining with the
    Croatian Olympic Commitee saying that he didn't pay


    us because the COC didn't pay him, but
    this is absolutely not true (and even if it was,


    but i dubt it, it doesn't really
    matter) because HE TOOK A PERSONAL OBBLIGATION WITH US
    SAYING HE WAS PERSONALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR OUR SALARY!!!


    This is a true scandal and i can't
    believe that people like this one can own a Federation,


    it's a true shame for the Croatian
    Sport and even for the FIVB and CEV. People like him have


    to get fired because are personally
    responsible for what is happening.


    I and my staff gave him time until the
    last thursday to fulfil the obbligations he took


    and we have been extremely clear: we
    did not want him to fulfil the total amount but we


    wanted a sign of his honesty: at least
    to sign the contracts and a small part of the


    amount we had to receive, in the
    meantime we kept working with the team like everything


    was fine because we are professionals
    and the players did not have any fault for this


    situation, they are just victims like
    us. If nohting would have happened we had to resign


    and leave because it was impossible to
    work in these conditions.


    After all that, WE DID NOT EVEN HEAR
    SOMETHING from Mr. Barac, he did not even had the


    courage to tell us the truth and he did
    not even call. NOTHING HAPPENED!!!
    This is the actual
    "so-called-president" of the Croatian Volleyball
    Federation...
    Someone has to do something to fix this
    situation...this is a true scandal...

    Simone Franceschi (Scoutman)

    poor Irina, poor staff and of course poor players !
    so what will happen now with the Women's Volleyball team ? Will Mario Bašelović be the coach ? as it was written at novilist site ?

    Its really a shame. :(


    Croatia suffer from that things for a long time. I remember in 2009 in ECH in Poland, talking to croatia girls, and they were the only team that travelled to Poland with bus!!!!!!FRom Croatia to Poland in a bus, with players high level its really absurd, and tiring for them. :S Its impossible to work like that.


    And its a shame cause Croatia girls have very strong spirit, and try to fight till the end every match, and give their best! They are real heroes!!!!!


    I know this is not the first time things like that happen, not even the first federation....but I think its time for volleyball to be united, and try to change together this sitation for the Croatian girls! They deserver better.


    what did you write its an oficial note from Irina? Or the infos you collect in different news? thanks in advance for giving us this news

    Now I respect more then ever to Croatian players. This message shows under how difficult conditions they are working. Last year they played in World Championships, Mia,Senna,Maja, Sanja was with the team than, seeing how the Croatian federation is behaving, it is obvious that they've made a lot of sucrifices just to play for their countries. I hope Croatia finds an urgent solution and treats these players and coaches as they deserve.

    This is an official letter that Irina and her staff sent to the FIVB, CEV, COC, IOC and EOC. After 2 different press conferences, one made by Irina and her staff and one made by the players, it was the only way to reveal this scandal. They can do nothing because they were working without contract (Barac kept saying: "we will sign it tomorrow..and tomorrow..and tomorrow"..unti the end of this story), but it is time to make people know about this situation. The net is a good way, and since the Official Bodies (FIVB, CEV, OLYMPIC COMMITEE, ETC.) did nothing until now, i guess it's the only way. If you know other sites like this one feel free to publish this letter...


    It is just unbelivable, the day before last match of European League Barac was together with Meyer (CEV President) in Osjiek smiling and claiming great things for Croatian Volleyball under its presidence...the next day Irina and her staff just left.


    Congrats to those who elected this clown...

    I really don't understand Croatian Federation.They have a great potential but they don't use it and they are like against the players.. Why nobody does nothing from government or anybody else?


    Shame on you Federation :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:


    fully agree !!
    Croatia has amazing players and they could have lots of success but how to do that if the federation is so stupid !? :white:

    BARAČ NEMA VREMANA ZA GLASU subotu je
    utakmicu s Britanicma s tribina gledao i predsjednik HOU-a (u ostavci?)
    Zdeslav Barač. Čelni čovjek Udruge nedavno je baš u Osijeku prozvan od
    stručnog stožera ženske reprezentacije na čelu s Irinom Kirilovom, koja
    je ubrzo i odstupila s izborničke funkcije. Stoga smo htjeli da Barač
    iznese svoje viđenje tog događaja, ali da popričamo o još nekim temama.
    Primjerice o mogućnosti da se kvalifikacije za OI igraju u Gradskom
    vrtu, te dokle je stigla njegova ostavka, koju je najavio u Osijeku
    prije tri tjedna, a koju nije obznanio kolegama koji su tada bili na
    licu mjesta, već naknadno. No, “prezidente” nije bio raspoložen: “Vi iz
    Glasa Slavonije pisali ste ono o Kirilovoj? Nemam vremena za vas”    , bilo
    je sve što smo uspjeli dobiti od Barača, koji je, primjerice, nakon
    inauguracije Kirilove, s kojom je proljetos zajedno bio u Osijeku, bio
    daleko srdačniji. Možemo razumjeti da mu prozivanje nije najbolje leglo,
    ali s naše strane htjeli smo biti fer i omogućiti mu da kaže svoju
    stranu priče. Ipak, ako bude bio dosljedan, osim Glasa, neće razgovarati
    ni s ostalim medijima, jer u svima je samo preneseno nezadovoljstvo
    Kirilove i njenih suradnika koji nisu htjeli raditi bez naknade.

    This man is really a CLOWN, instead of explain the situation (he obviously can't) he said he doesn't have time for that journalist because he wrote the truth about Kirillova and her staff.


    Where are all the Official Bodies? What the hell are they waiting to dismiss this man? Congrats also to the FIVB, CEV and CROATIAN OLYMPIC COMMITTEE who did exactly NOTHING (!!!).


    Looks like everyone is very good hiding their head under the sand..

    big shame :thumbdown: I'm sorry for Croatian players, they didn't deserve to be treated like that... :white:
