Turkey - Acıbadem First League 2013/14

    Quote from locainside

    Today GS-VB! I hope to see a good and long match...

    Orkun Darnel seems very hopeful about Galatasaray. According to his interview in voleybolextra, he says that Galatasaray was the key team that caused a nigthmare season for Guidetti (honestly I dont know which season he is talking about and what Galatasaray did). He adds, Vakıfbank's unbeatable record of 54 matches motivate us and Galatasaray is the team that can end this. If we were in champions league, with our foreign players rotation, we would have a bigger advantage but now in Turkish league, I would say we are equal.



    I understand how Orkun feels after all these really good transfers. I think Galatasaray will be much more challenging than last year however when we compare Guidetti & Barbolini, Guidetti is much heavier. I don't know which 3 foreign players Galatasaray will choose but I hope Montano, Saori and Lo Bianco will be there. Honestly I prefer to see Gamze instead Lo Bianco and Veljkovic as a 3rd foreigner but I dont think Barbolini has balls to make such decisions. :read:

    Last week he was criticized because he was very cautious with his words, now he is criticized because he tries to make a good atmosphere for the match. Sometimes I feel sorry for him though I do not really like him. :gone: Btw. Saori is not with the team. :!:

    Does TVF site not provide stats for league matches anymore? I can find only the results there...

    They changed the location of stats.It's no more in right down side,they are publishing them in news => Leagues section this season.

    Wow she is not???!!! Really interesting strategy of Barbolini to receive all these great serves of Vakıfbank with Neriman, Rabadzhieva and Nihan. I guess we will see a lot of aces and Bihter (2nd libero) today! :cheesy:

    Actually I thought GS reception with this line-up worked unexpectedly well in CL this week. Sure, there were some phases when they had problems, but overall none of the players was too weak. And I'm afraid this season will go the same way as last for Saori, spending most matches on bench or even out of the match roster...GS seems to rely on attack power and she doesn't have that with European style...

    Laura Dijkema married? Her name is written Laura Chantal' to stats

    It is not a strategy of Barbolini as far as I know, she was called back to Japan.

    No, Chantal is another first name...and well...in Germany, it's a stereotypical name for girls that are...well, blonde, very "girlish" and maybe not so intelligent...no offense, but I find it very amusing :rolll:

    Galatasaray-Vakifbank will start in a few minutes http://www.ntvspor.net/canliyayin


    PS: Leo plays cause she DESERVES to play!

    It's possible, you just have to believe in yourself and really not care what other people say, because I've heard it all.
    If you let someone else dictate what you're going to do in life, then you won't get there.


    Non so neanche come onestamente: in due mesi ero di nuovo in campo.
