The 2013 CEV Champions League

    Quote from Jo11

    Ilic was used to coach young players without lot of experience in past years. She is a good coach, she prooved that with volero And their good results. She just need to adapt her coaching style to a group of solid And experienced players.
    You don't coach an 18 years old girl who never play CL and Osmocrovic the same way.

    true. Ilic is not a bad Coach. But she can be better. Shes just new to the team. The real performances of the teams we will see in the second half of the season.

    i think uralochka won't be able to repeat this performance when they meet vakifbank again for the 2nd time :(

    Difficult of course for Cannes but the team can improve.
    ...
    Naz : yes I remember some acid posts against her :whistle:
    and against Guidetti too ... :box:
    Anyway volleyball players are not robots
    and real volleyball is not PS I don't know which letters and numbers :D

    this was the best match of first 2 weeks indeed :box: Congratulations to my team :) Naz&Fürst duo is simply great in both attack and block :box:

    Congrats Vakıf! Fürst was the player of the match.Brako served very well and Gözde made a difference for Vakıf replacing Saori.Gözde should be always starter imo.Bahar played badly.Neither attack nor block..For the first three sets Uralocka played pretty well.Estes and Middle Filipova were bad.Pasnkova played pretty well.If this is Uralockas stable game then i think Uralocka plays better than Dinamo Moscow.Vakıf's blocks were pretty well:18 blocks( 7 for Fürst)

    I really dont understand (and I think Ill never will) some of Caprara choices...


    he changes the starting group everytime...and sometimes it just not make any sence! At least for me... :aww:

    If the play well, Rabita is just too strong. Montano is just illegal, it is almost impossible to stop her.


    Hopefully Villa will do better in the next sets. they can; but Rabita is really strong when serving and receiving well.

    Finally we get to see some of Rabita's real potential. Grün plays almost only as receiver and she doesn't even do jump serves now :S But Montano is really a very very good player!


    I wonder why the hell Folie is playing, I don't like her at all. The only thing she does is jumping into the opponent's feet after attacks :thumbdown:

    Yes! Great set by Villa, Klineman is a key player but she has to improve reception a lot, even more since Villa's libero is now Parrocchiale and not Cardullo.


    Btw great set by Garzaro and Folie,, plus Viganò was superb giving stability to the reception and being very good in attacking as well.

    Cortese won second set 25-22 ,i didnt like rabita's game style.Its almost like use montano whenever possible and if its not just try akinradewo or krismanovic.Yeah maybe grün doesnt play effectively but they should try to use her also

    Skorupa has definitely improved her connection with all attackers in the last weeks, but Rabita isn't stable enough to perform on the same level constantly.


    I think today's match shows that Castillo will improve Rabita's level after all! Cebic is not bad, but Castillo is so much better than her!

    Pffff ...
    A bunch of errors of both parts ... :(
    Not a great game so far !
    Folie and Garzaro make balance with Krsmanovic (good) and Akinradewo (so slow today).
