I see, Alisheva is certinly not a flashy player, and her ups and downs is pretty heavy...when her game is "on" she can be a threat to all teams in the world, but when she is off she can destroy the game herself with unforced errors.
I think most of Russian players have this issue sadly

Thats true, its the problem with being tall and big, especially for girls, they tends to be erratic because the body gets more difficullt to handle.
By the way, Goncharova played very solid and good in reception today vs Proton, if she can keep it up, I belive she can be starting OH for Russia insted of Sokolova. But, only if she can keep this level, and its a big, big if !
I didnt know Grun could speak russian
a trully poliglot...german, russian, english, italian,...
she can speak Russian but we still don't understand Russian 
I just looked at the statistics of the game of Dinamo Moscow vs. Proton. I am surprised that the coach is using Goncharova as a receiver, with Markova as the non-receiver hitter. I think Kosheleva and Goncharova will compete for the starting six line up. The other spots for hitters will of course be given to Gamova and Sokolova.

Yes, I know she was born in Tajikstan or something like that, but I didnt realize she spoke russian, you know when you never stop to think about, so I was surprise..hehehehe cause I thought, dont know maybe left to young...dont know. 
If somebody is intrested here is yesterdays game Dinamo Moscow vs Proton Saratov (3x1) for download (good quality in HD):
Anyone impressed by Strashimira Filipova? She has men stats in attack all games, one of the top scorers and she is a half MB, half OPP, stronger than both. She has also very good block and serve, low level of unforced errors.

Im very impressed of Filipova, she is so powerfull and consistent ! When I watched her in ECH group stage last year in Italy, I have no doubt she was hitting the hardest ball there. As I have said before I remember, IMO she is one of the very best MB´s in Europe right now.
It's interesting to see that Kirillova really is main setter in Uralochka now. I thought she'd go there as backup and mainly to teach the other setters, and Salina is not that bad either...But seems Ira now also found good connection with the MBs, yesterday she gave them a lot of balls (far more than she gave Nazarova and Chaplina) and both scored with high %.
I said it yesterday Natasha was good in reception but here is the evidence

Its actually intresting for Russian NT I belive, even if its only one game, its surprising she has this potenital in reception. Better than the libero yesterday for ex.

Aoeksandr Perepelkin, husband to Maria Perepelkina, is the new Head Coach of Severstal Cherepovets. Maybe he will have a couple of battles against his fiance next season !!

Yes, another interesting bit of news that Irina Uraleva setter from Proton is going to play in Krasnodar next season. This definitely means that Evgeniya Startseva is leaving the team. Where? Kazan probably has to be the answer.

Yes, probably they can afford most money...Im so surprised Moscow isnt even intrested in Startseva !! Maybe they want Akulova instead?
