Friendly NT Matches

  • Aleksic isn’t talked about enough but she’s one of the best middles in the world

  • Boskovic serve has given Poland absolute nightmares all day and maja is SHREDDING the polish block and defense

  • Just a friendly so not gonna take TOO much from it but Serbia looked incredible today after a very poor first set

  • Lmao okay Busa is determined to keep Poland in this I guess after she really picked it up before this awful stretch

    Service pressure from Tijana in these friendlies compared to the serve error rate she had last couple of seasons changes a lot especially if we take into account the improved block with Kurtagic. Still not at the peak performance, but they clearly wanted the win after the game vs Dominicans.

  • Serbia was just trying to finish the game without any effort. Maja didn't even forced Boskovic because she knew that there is no reason to do it. And Busa still played better than her standards. Poland is the best team for players like her to shine - see Bergmann with Poland, the girl that can't kill the ball whole season was unstoppable :lol:

  • Serbian side:


    Boskovic- no words needed, Poland simply couldn’t stop her.

    Ognjenovic- world class performance

    Aleksic- best Serbian MB in my opinion. Nice to look at as usual.

    Kurtagic- Reminds me of Rasic in Hena’s age.

    Lozo/Busa- if they happen to score 20 points together per match, Boskovic won’t need to carry the match alone.

    S. Popovic- Guidetti, don’t be stupid enough to leave her home, she’s so good.


    Polish side:


    Medrzyk- played solid, had some great attacking points.

    Korneluk- OK

    Wolosz- underperformed, but can’t blame her much as the reception she gets was very bad overall.

    Czyrnianska- Great sub, but it was too late.

    Szczyglowska- solid

    Smarzek- nice sub for Stysiak, hope she keeps the great shape.

    Lukasik/Jurcyzk/Stysiak- invisible, one of their worst matches this year.

  • I agree with everything 100%.

    Stysiak has been a bit more inconsistent this summer(IMO), but I'm sure she's gonna look the best when it matters most like the 1/4 final match vs Serbia in the last WCH. Smarzek is a pleasant surprise and I'm really happy to see her in her old form again. Poland is gonna be a tough out at the Olympics if Stysiak recovers her peak shape considering they have great subs at every position in cases of emergencies.


    On our side, Boskovic's serve coming back gives me hope for gold, not gonna lie. The only concern is the constant use of Milenkovic in every match that gave absolutely nothing. Lazovic came in 2 times and gave a perfect reception, she is a great change of rhythm player and contributes so much more compared to Bojana so I really wish we'd take a 2nd libero in OH jersey for the reception if he wishes to use that back row sub so frequently.
    Also, still dreaming of seeing the 2 libero system with S. Popovic and Jegdic. Just once, Gio, please. :lol:

    Boskovic serve is literally a game changer for us on top of her already ridiculous game. Agree about the 2 libero system. That would be so good 😭

  • Yes, to be good enough for Boskovic’s serves, especially when she’s on fire, you are gonna need 3 Castillo or 3 Gabriela Guimares as passers :white:

  • I dont think you can play 2 libero system when you have 12 players in roster. I dont know if something changed, but in 12 you can register only one libero. And you can register maximum 12 players in roster of 14, 2 need to be liberos.

    I didn't mean it at the OG, more as a general wish to feature it more in the future. I wanted it even last summer so I'm gonna be happy to see it even in a friendly game at this point, tbh. :lol:
