I have just lost the count of how many times Croatia was blocked. Nothing new so far: Akman so slow as always, Gbrac setting poorly to the middles, Gozde playing at high level, etc.
First two matches were entertaining, let´s hope this too.
Olympic Games - Brazil 2016 (qualification process)

And why is that? I am not saying she is the most polite, but she rarely screams across the net.. she usually runs to her teammates and screams towards the crowd, which many players do in fact.
I don't like the cold lady Goncharova, just like I don't like Kubra and her staring under the net after she scores a point, or her never satisfied body language. I want beast players with the fire in their eyes, like Kosheleva!
-
What did I miss in the first set? Grbac and Barun starters.
-
C'mon Croatia !
-
Poor Croatia's libero, she is so stressed out....
-
Croatia libero is horrible, i don't know how many mistakes she made so far.
-
As usual in the big tournaments, reception is what distinguishes Croatia from the top teams...
I hate Ferhat in that stupid suit. He looks like a Mafia boss from some really bad movie
-
Croatia having many communication problems late in the set. Turkey was lucky to get away with that one
-
Not only the libero, the whole team looks completely disorganized in defence and contruction of the rally.
-
Oh Croatia! You lost your chance. Killed by its own libero by the end of the set.
-
Anyway Turkey is far from their best, Germany may win this group
-
Not only the libero, the whole team looks completely disorganized in defence and contruction of the rally.
Yes, and strangely this is something I observed in Croatia's game in the last few years no matter who was the coach. Players simply aren't disciplined tactically, in one rally they take away the ball from the setter, in the next rally nobody goes to set and all such stuff that can easily be solved by clear rules and communication.
-
What I rather see is the lack of team spirit... They are just on the court and play but nothing more- no fighting, no connections, it's like someone just put them together as a punishment.
-
Take Jerkov as example - she stands wherever she wants in defense, and she is never in the right position eventually
-
I wonder how happy the turkish players are with their sponsor...
-
Gozde giving Fabris a facial, and immediately running across the net to say sorry. That's a real sportsman
-
Naz sets to Neriman to 4 the same way Kreklow does in Eczacibasi....and it's not working too great either. Neriman needs high balls
-
Do someone know why the tournament is in Turkey? As far as I know, Poland and Russia also apllied for that. And anyway organisation is years before XXI century...
-
Gözde's blocking skill is soo good despite her height
Good thing for Turkey is Neriman's attacking shape. It is obvius that when she doesnt have to receive she can show her attacking skills. On the other hand bad thing for Turkey is Germany will 'eat' Neslihan with their serves. By the way Naz-Eda connection is great -
Naz - Eda connection looks superb today! Like back in the golden days
