Turkish NT 2016

Guidetti wanting to spend more time with his family in Turkey makes sense, also the Dutch federation will almost always do the most stupid thing when given a choice.

But he just renewed with Ducth Federation...I imagine his wish to be more with his family was already in his head when he signed again with them, so I cant imagine he leaving now, Id be surprise. Cause other wise he could just not sign at all just few months ago.

Lang Ping has said over and over again she will either stay in China NT or retire....so I dont see that happening as well.

There was Federation Elections so he might not want stay without a national team. I don't believe that he will be the coach 100% but remembering his words makes me want to hope he can be the coach. Turkish team needs a coach who knows what's his/her doing. After Barbolini and Ferhat, there is a disaster that needs to be recovered. Normally, i wouldn't want a coach who is coaching for a Turkish club and Turkish National Team but in this case, Guidetti would be perfect.

Hope after all these rumors, Farhat won't be the one again. It was embaressing to watch a boy who doesn't have a clue what he is doing. Plus, i cannot watch Nursevil one more summer.

Turkish players are not playing good already in their clubs. It would be perfect if a good coach comes.

I think Guidetti could be a great coach. But as long as the Turkish players continue in substitutions in Fenerbahce, Vakifbank, eczacibasi and galatasaray nothing will change.

After the closing of the first round some Turkish players that can be called for the national team stood out:

MB
Beyza arici
Kubra
Zehra
Eda

Setter
Naz

Opposite
Meryem (is playing very well)
Burcu yuzgenç
Ceren

Wing-spiker
Gozde kirdar
Fatma
Tugba
Ceyda aktas

libero
Gizem orge

Melis yilmaz (good in reception)

DISAPPOINTMENT

MB
Ceylan
Asli

Setter
Arelya
Gamze

Opposite
Pollen (every year we think pollen will play well, but it does not play)

Wing- spkier
Hande (haha hande continues in eczacibasi = backup as gozde yilmaz
Guldeniz (I hate guldeniz)
Ece hocaoglu

libero
Dilara bagci
Buse kayacan
Ceren cihan
Aylin sarioglu
Simge akoz

my wide list would be like :

Setters : Naz Aydemir Akyol from Vakıfbank,Gamze Alikaya from Galatasaray,Arelya Karasoy from Sarıyer B.,Cansu Özbay from Vakıfbank,Sıla Çalışkan from Seramiksan

Defensive OHs : Güldeniz Önal from Galatasaray ,Fatma Yıldırım from Bursa BB,Birgül Güler from Idman Ocağı,Cansu Çetin from Vakıfbank,Şeyma Ercan from Fenerbahçe , Tuğba Şenoğlu from Beşiktaş

Offensive OHs : Neriman Özsoy from Modena,Hande Baladın from Eczacıbaşı,Meliha İsmailoğlu from Fenerbahçe,Tutku Burcu Yüzgenç from Halkbank

Opposites: Meryem Boz from Seramiksan,Polen Uslupehlivan from Fenerbahçe

Middle Blockers : Eda Erdem Dündar from Fenerbahçe ,Kübra Çalışkan from Vakıfbank,Aslı Kalaç from Galatasaray,Beyza Arıcı from Çanakkale B.,Özgenur Yurtdagülen from Vakıfbank,Ceylan Arısan from Eczacıbaşı

Liberos : Hatice Gizem Örge from Vakıfbank, Dilara Bağcı from Nilüfer B.,Ceren Cihan from Bursa BB.,Ayça Naz Ihtiyaroğlu from Idman Ocağı

I think Gamze has been doing well. Nihan or Ayca has nothing to do in National team. Orge, Dilara and Melis could be nice.

Mr. Guidetti welcome to Turkish NT

Quote from Meatballs

My list would be:

Setters: Naz, Gamze, Cansu Ozbay
Spikers: Gozde, Fatma, Neriman, Guldeniz (or Tugba), Seda
Opposites: Polen, Meryem
MBs: Eda, Kubra, Asli, Beyza (Or Zehra): both Zehra and Kubra are super slow, that's why a faster MB like Asli is needed
Libero: Gizem Orge

which Gözde ? Sonsırma ,Yılmaz ?
didnt Gözde declare her retirement ? if she is Yılmaz .i would say : she is not ready and she doesnt deserve it this season.

i dont know if the NT needs Seda indeed? maybe as Neriman's backup..but better Baladın should play

Quote from Meatballs

I meant Gozde Sonsirma. I don't think she will refuse an invitation from Guidetti...

I'm losing my hope of Hande Baladin and lost already from Gozde Yilmaz. I don't like local players wasting their time at bench and being named in NT. Baladin and Yilmaz did nothing for their clubs this season, forcing Barbolini to use good old Neslihan as OH. Why would any NT coach pick a player from an Eczacibasi, playing with 6 foreigners in champions league? I forgot one name actually: Neslihan! I don't think she is doing well but we still don't have a better OPP than her.

I'm not sure what people saw in Melis Durul since I watched her playing very few and she was not impressive at all...Dilara Bagci is indeed probably the best YOUNG alternative to Gizem Orge.

mesut, I trust you! Welcome Guidetti!!!

agree with you on Yılmaz but i still trust Baladın.she is still young and can reach her top shape in time
for opp position...i havent watched Neslihan as opp for a long time therfore i dont know what she can do as opp for the nt..if Meryem Boz keeps her agressive game which she used to miss for along time then why not as opp ? but i see what you mean
if Gui comes then Gözde can come..

Breaking news:

Guidetti will be the new coach of Turkish NT.

He leaves Dutch NT because he wants to spend more time with his family after the birth of his daughter.

Source: press release of Dutch Federation.

I feel terrible because he leaves Dutch NT, but big congrats to Turkish NT.

He signed a new contract with Dutch Federation until 2020, but likely his wish to leave was so strong, Dutch Federation agreed to cancel the new contract...

being closer to Bahar and their child sounds reasonable anyway, Turkey got a valuable asset in form of a head coach we'l see who'll get calls, Guidetti should know league perfcectly

I am very disappointed of Guidetti. First of all, it's a very unprofessional move, and it contradicts many things he used to say.

Same Wish him well, but it's so very disappointing

No comment, such a shame

Yeah, it's extremely unprofessional. Wanting to spend more time with family is completely legit, but he knew he had a family when he was signing the new contract.
Obviously the Turks offered him (a lot) more money.
