  • Well, Unilever players were still not invited, cause they will play South American Championship. I think You can add to that list Juciely and NAtália..maybe also Fabi (libero), but I think like the other veterans she will ask a year out? lets see.

  • DOM is probably the only team bringing their A roster, so I wouldn't be surprised if they win the tournament...


    I think this same ;) Any other rosters for this tournament?

    German roster was announced already some weeks ago, it's on page 1 or 2 of this topic. The team will train only 3 days before Montreux, so no info yet if the roster will be as announced (only 12 players were announced plus some reserves for injury or other emergencies).

  • Agree with your starting 6. Not many changes in roster comparing with last year and Rodriguez back in team :thumbsup: BTW. What's with Sidarka Nuńez and Brayelin Martinez?

    Yes... German I saw it... but the others? :( I'm just curious.. but I guess other teams will go with B NT. So I hope DR NT will crush all of teams :super: but... I don't know... I think Chinese NT can fight for win too.

    Brazil, China, Italy, Russia, Japan all are building new teams, so this year in Montreux we won't see many stars (if any at all), DOM will be the only team with several experienced players.

    So... you don't think that Chinese NT will take this part, which play now in chinese friendly tournament? If they will.. they are dangerous too, because without setter everything look similar like in the past years...

    If they constantly play with the best available players they'll be good for sure, but so early in summer, teams usually try a lot of things and nothing is 100% predictable.

  • Japanese roster for Montreux was also announced:
    S : Makoto Matsuura, Natsumi Fujita
    OH/OPP : Risa Ishii, Ayumi Nakamura, Yuki Ishii, Saori Takahashi, Yuka Imamura, Miyu Nagaoka, Akari Oumi, Sarina Koga
    MB : Nana Iwasaka, Riho Otake, Haruyo Shimamura, Fumika Moriya
    L : Mami Yoshida, Kotoki Zayasu


    As you can see it's a new team, only Nana Iwasaka and Kotoki Zayasu had more chances to play in NT, Yuki Ishii an Makoto Matsuura appeared in some not important games with NT. Riho Otake, Miyu Nagaoka and Akari Oumi were in wide training rosters in NT. Rest players are new, Sarina Koga is from 1996 :!:

    No, coach Jenny Lang decided to send a junior team in Montreux, The junior team will also participant in FIVB U20 wch, so Montreux will be a warm-up for the matches in Czech, in fact, the chinese team even want to withdraw the tournament but the schedule are already confirmed, so 。。。。 the new coach Jenny Lang has some different views about the matches in Montreux and Russia compare to the former coach, the Chinese volleyball association accept her view and refuse russia's invitation(Yesin cup )
