Ravva will not play on this friendly matches, she is injured :cry2:
Querard played as opp because fang has many players injured so he has to deal with it.
I think it's a great result for france to win a set without having on court Ravva, Rybzcewski and with a libero playing as opposite! 
Someone have seen the match? How is Salinas?
Nastja if you see the match could you take some pictures please??

thank you samba player ı think chiappini is trying different players.the players of the second match is totally different from the first one but in my opinion we should have win against italy with neslihan on court and our MBs(özlem and aysun)should have stopped anzanello.ı have never seen a MB scored so many points.ı prefer eda erdem in our NT instead of özlem.
Ozlem ?? :shock: Someone wrote on this forum that she is retired from international competition...

thanks for news
This is surprising news for me because Turkey has a lot of talented (and younger) players on this position. But Özlem is one of the best middle blockers in Europe and I think she will be useful for Turkish team.

soo.... i just came back home after this match...
It was definitely not the best match, but very exciting at the end of set 5...
Germany could have won this match much easier but due to some concentration problems they havent. France played ok, but had kinda same problems as germany. With Ravva and Grün, the match would have been a lot more interesting.
Christiane Fürst was just substitute same as Dumler which surprised me a lot. Maggie Kozuch played well in set 1 but then got worse set by set. Atika was definitely the best player on germans side.
what i was able to see too, was that Guidetti argued a lot with Radzuweit...But i can understand him, she moves very slowly and her attacks are easy to defend...
On France side i liked Kinga Maculewicz a lot today. It was like she woke up after 1st set and helped her team a lot. Its a good team, and with a bit more match practise and key player Ravva, successes are waiting 
After the match i talked with Kinga, who was very very nice. I asked her about her future etc ( you can post ur questions to her here soon, she said she would answer, but more details will follow soon ;))
And i talked a bit with Karine Salinas... Asked her whats wrong with Ravva and she said that she hurt her ankle and has to pause a week but will be fit for the EC
i took a lot of pics and will present them soon

The French Men NT is a strong team. I think in a few years also the Women NT will follow. It's incredible how the European teams are becoming more and more competitive. For exemple Turkey and Belgium don't have a volleyball history, but have a lot of junior and youth talents. Good for them and their future!
It's great that you've talked with Kinga!! :wink2:

That's very nice, I'll look forward to see it!

LothiePG
I didnt ask her that lol, but remember that question for her interview
Thank you so much Nastja for the photos and the coments on the match!
I am very surprise about the results of the french team on this friendly matches against Germany.
Germany has serious chance of medal on the european championship and I am quite impress that france took already 3 sets from them. Before the match a tought that France would loose 3/0 each game playing without Ravva.
Did Rybaczewki play? How is playing Salinas? Is she still great?
