Turkey - Acıbadem First League 2012/13

    Quote from Canter

    who says Turkish league consists of only 4 teams..
    Yeşilyurt beat Fb : 3-1
    Bjk beat GsD : 3-2
    :lol:


    Congrats to Besiktas too. But, still 1 point of GS by getting 2 sets gives a more advantage to GS over FB who is loser of the week.
    No, there aren't 4 top teams in the league, there are 1 (vakif) + 1 (ecz) + the rest.
    My favorites among the rest are : GS (still even though it was a surprise today, but, Calderon didnt play.), Bursa, Fener, and so on.


    This week, we saw that if a player or two at a team are missing, they are not so different than other teams while Vakif played their B-team, still won 3-0.

    And she got 39 points 8o As i said before she is definetly not OH but she is a great opposite.She should play as opposite also in NT ;)


    The problem is, Turkey NT needs her at OH-position...Except her there is only Gözde. If there would be an other top-OH, Neriman would be the starting-opposite of Turkish NT. She is meanwhile a much better athlete than Neslihan.

    39 pts by Neriman, 80% of pts of the team pts while Besiktas pts are dirstributed more or less equally.
    This is the main problem of GS and FB, teams which are carried by only a player or two.
    Take Neriman and Calderon out of GS and Kim out of Fener, they could be at the bottom of the league.


    Yes, Neriman is better than Neslihan at OPP and even Polen has become better than Neslihan who should definitely be out of NT.

    here we go again! out of the NT? :aww: even not to the bench? thanks goodness you're not the coach :)

    So, this Wednesday (?), can we say that we'll know who'll be 1st and 2nd after the end of the match Vakif - Ecz and 3rd and 4th after the end of GS-FB?
    Ecz must win to finish the league 1st while GS needs to take 2 sets at least to finish 3rd.
    Matches will be played at the same time?
    If Ecz-Vakif is played before GS-FB, and if Ecz somehow with a luck wins over Vakif, the match between GS-FB will be very interesting as they will try to lose to avoid meeting Vakif at play-offs.

    Well, she can sit in the bench, to back-up Neriman and Polen, and to make-up:)
    Seriously, Neslihan isn't NT material anymore, today in Turkey, there are better players than her. Also, Ecz is enough load for her, she can use her remaining gas there at Ecz which may contribute to Cev cl. (If Neslihan is out of NT, I won't talk about her anymore.)

    Today, Turkish Volleyball Federation announced that the playoffs will begin on 5 April, 2013.

    20.03.2013 - 17:00 VakıfBank - Eczacıbaşı Vitra Ntv Spor
    20.03.2013 - 20:00 Galatasaray Daikin - Fenerbahçe


    So, tomorrow, Vakif - Ecz match will be played first.
    If a surprise happens and Ecz wins by 3-0 or 3-1, Gala-Fener match will be interesting, they will try to lose to each others to avoid meeting Vakif at play-off semis. But, it is a rivalry, will be hard for Gala or Fener to try to lose each others.


    Anyway, Fener and Gala fans, don't worry, we'll save you, won't give Ecz any chance. Vakif is also targetting now a record, 37 games-37 wins now, 3 games left for the record,


    After tomorrow, Ecz will be down more and for this weekend, I'll bet much on Bursa against Ecz.
