Germany - DVL 2011/12

4th set

25-17 Rote Raben

3-1

Now golden set

Golden set 15-7 for Schwerin !!!!

So, Finals:

Schwerin- Dresden

1st Match: on Wednesday in Schwerin

Golden Set was the opposite of the sets before...Rote Raben made a lot of mistakes, especially in reception. And some great serves by Hanke!

Short summary of Vilsbiburg - Schwerin

Vilsbiburg served really well. 13 ACES !!!! They destroyed Schwerin's reception during 3 sets totally (the sets they won). Also a match full of unforced errors and long rallies.

It's a miracle to me how the match turned around in golden set. All of a sudden, it was Vilsbiburg making reception-errors and unforced errors...Maybe Schwerin could handle the pressure/nerves better?

Anyway, if Schwerin plays like today against Dresden, they have no chance at all !!!

I have only sound

@ Matthias

What do you think about the Final...considering tactics and the shape both teams are in...?

Quote from Matthias

Very difficult to say because I haven't seen any full match of Dresden lately. I think concerning their potential both teams are equal, it will really depend on who has the better days and how they can control the opponent's strengths. For example when Suhl and Vilsbiburg managed to control Paty Thormann, Schwerin got into trouble. When Münster managed to control Pietersen and De Kruijf, Dresden got into trouble. But in the end both teams don't really have any real weaknesses, it will all depend on the shape during the matches.

Thank you for your opinion.

Like you, I didn't see a full match of Dresden lately, so difficult to say something about them

What surprised me today concerning Schwerin was their bad reception...not only Buijs but also Topic and even Thomsen...maybe Vilsbiburg served with full risk, and they were lucky making not many serve-errors, but it affected Schwerin's game alot. Thormann became useless as opposite, because she couldn't use her fast attack. Logically she got substituted for Retzlaff.

Quote from Matthias

Btw Jelinkova's absence today was due to a neck injury she suffered in training this morning
The same newspaper article also says that it was obvious that Tzscherlich was still handicapped, already on Wednesday her knee was treated during the match and she was having problems all season. It could be a problem for Dresden if it gets worse and there is not much time to recover.

Hopefully Kerstin can play on Wednesday

Quote from Matthias

I'm pretty sure she will, it's just two more matches and it's the final of Championship so it's not the time for whining

I just hope Guidetti will have the guts to use Dürr or Thomsen in Ankara if Tzscherlich still isn't recovered by then...

He is not known for such surprises, but let's wait and see

We were in Munster and Tzscherlich couldn't even walk normal, but she played whole match. I think she will play even with pain...

I know it's a little bit early to ask,but is there a chance for a livestream of the final wednesday and saturday??

Lonneke Sloetjes renewed her contract in Münster for another year.
