Croatia NT is going to face with 3 hard teams in Pool B with Italy,Turkey and Azerbaijan in European championship.I think they have a great roster with many talented young players but the biggest problem is preparation period and team spirit but no doubt that Kirillova will skip those problems.I have no idea about Osmokrovic but i don't think that she will come back to NT.Let's wait
Coach: Iryna Kirillova
Setters :Ana Grbac,Marina Katic
Middle Blockers : Maja Poljak,Ivana Milos,Mirela Delic,Ilijana Dugandzic
Outside hitters: Senna Usic,Matea Ikic,Mia Jerkov,Sanja Popovic(OH/OPP),Marina Miletic,Marija Usic
Opposites : Jelena Alajbeg,Katarina Barun
Libero: Mirela Bares,Mia Todorovic
Opposite and middle blocker seems Croatian's best positions and libero the weakest one.
Poljak,Usic and Alajbeg looks a unstoppable triple also Grbac-Alajbeg couple have a nice harmony from Zürich but as i said before this team needs a good preperation period this summer so Kirillova has a important role for success
What do you think about Croatian NT's future?
PS: I saw Kirillova in last F4 while watching FBA-Pesaro game.There were almost 5-6 Croatian players in torunament,she came to analize Croatian players performance.
