Halkbank and İBB exchanged their setters.
After such a well and professionally organised pre-season , my expectations from Ziraat Bankası increased. Rouzier will also play for them.
So far only negativity is their new season uniforms:ugly

Suprisingly good moves from Halkbank.
First they stole conditioning coach and statistician of Ziraat, later they signed physiotherapist of national football team. They declare Halkbank is making great progress towards the institutionalization ( hope this is the appropiate word ). Bernardi must be glad.
Next step must be signing the coach who teached Mika how to receive in France
I wonder how Juantorena will play without Kaziyski and Stoychev. Maybe just maybe he will give better effort to receiving.

Quote from kondzio

Philippe Blain (Poland's 2nd coach) and Arnaud Josserand (France's 2nd coach) were Montpellier's coaches in last season

Lets bring them
Last year was a big disappointment for Halkbank in terms of quality. It was boring to watch Stoychev's volleyball mentality based on service and attack. I hope this year they will have convincing defensive strategy and their star players will remember receiving is also part of their job

Turkish Super Cup will be played today
Local time:17.30

Very disappointing game so far.
Fenerbahçe as a team looked very average and had difficulty in receiving.
As for Halkbank it is imposibble to comment on offensive performance because setter Ulaş decided team has only one scoring option and set exclusively to Sokolov. I think Sokolov took 1 million pass
Halkbank tried to hide Juantorena in reception and because of this Kubiak made many receiving mistakes.Juantorena's service performance was extremely weak.Still waiting to watch his beatiful service from 2011
Edit: Sokolov won the match by himself for Halkbank.
Halkbank:3- FEnerbahce:1
Fenerbahçe tried to play with 2 OPPs in the last set but I don't think it can work in mens volleyball because service plays much larger role.
If Halkbank wants to score good results in CL , Sokolov alone won't be enough.They need better performances from OHs and need to work on blocking

Tomorrow Turkish league will begin.
Fenerbahçe-Ziraat Bankası match will be broadcasted by Ntvspor.

Because of Hüseyin's suspension, Ziraat is playing with their second setter and they are terrible.

There is zero connection between setter Ulaş and Kubiak

Same story as last year ; quality of volleyball so far
Last week, maybe only interesting detail was Emre Batur's attitude. He didn't like Esco's setting and made it known. I find it very suprising and unprofessional. I wonder when did Emre become the player for Halkbank who has permission to judge others performance
