  • How is playing Lonneke? In your opinion did she recover a good shape? In Busto Actually she did not habve big chances after coming back from injury


    I don't know about her shape, actually, because I didn't see her play yet (the matches in Bulgaria had not been broadcasted)..


    In general: I think she needs a few months more to recover fully --> to hit at 100% power :win:



    Will she stay at Busto ??

  • I believe Lonneke will not stay in Busto. Busto already announced the 4 players confirmed from previous season and it seems that all the other players wil be new ones. However now Busto is still searching the OPP so some surprise can happen

  • Dutch NT will play 3 friendlies with Belgium this weekend...

    According to the Belgian Federation articles, Celeste Plak played three very good matches; :!: I'm curious where she will play next season :whistle:

  • Why Laura didn't play today's game ?


    She played the last part of 1st set :win:


    I only mentioned the starting-six ;)

  • She played the last part of 1st set :win:

    I don't know how comparable Femke and Laura or what's the criteria of Vermeulen ? I don't like him as a coach and I think he's doing what he want, we know very well that Floortje can't join to the national team because of him. :down: Flo-Anne-Maret trio would be great and these 3 players makes them stronger indeed :win: I think everybody knows.


    Second, I don't think so that Femke is better than her in all elements. I'd like to see Laura more while she playing volleyball as a starter setter on the court, cause is she deserves more chances. I had the opportunity to watch her live many times in Turkish League and I know what she can do.
