Turkey - Vestel Venüs Sultanlar Ligi - 2018/2019

  • Jerkov is holding BJK single-handedly literally back from achieving better things, they can thank her for getting kicked of Challenge CUP as well vs a weak Aydin..

    :aww:

    Her attitude is the most annoying.:!:

  • VakifBank wins 3-2 then, actually I wish BJK was the one thay transferred Enright instead of Jerkov... That would have made them among the top imo, they just cannot receive and Jerkov runs away from receiving like an Opposite except she can't kill a ball either

  • VakifBank back up setter and opposite made the team look way stronger.


    I really don't get all the critics on Lonneke: her spiking consists on hitting the ball at her best spiking reach, which is what makes her a top opposite, but she doesn't get a single proper high ball.


    Anyway Vakif took the fifth set.

    I was thinking just the same! :white::lol:

  • Some Turkish clubs really have terrible managememt, Halkbank-BJK-even EczV etc. even 2 volleyball fans would do better :lol::aww:


    Bursa BBSK is being missed. BJK could even be better then them but... THY could be richer though so maybe it was her choice to pick them over another Turkish club.

  • Does anyone know what happened to Zhu?

    Zhu just took a break as usual. No need to play on every game, esp, when playing against a weak team.

  • Sloetjes says about her injury: ,, Last week I had an injection and now I can train again. My tendon was partially torn and the scar tissue was very painful. The injection numbs the pain. I can therefore play and with therapy the scar tissue has to disappear or become smoother. ''http://www.volleybalkrant.nl/nieuwsbericht/16701/vakifbank-te-sterk-voor-besiktas

    This is not gonna end up well if she does not slow down a bit. Tendon injuries are quite tricky to rehabilite and it takes quite a bit until the athlete is fully recovered. Working with corticosteroids injections is not the best choice either, although understandable since it offers a short-term solution for the pain.

  • At least Vakif vs Fener is worth watching. Not sure if Sloetjes could play with her knee injury.

  • Easy win for Galatasaray at Besiktas hosting - only the first set was close (23:25), so Gala won in three.


    Eczacibasi lost first set in Istanbul against Beylikdüzü 24:26, but is clearly in front now in second.

  • Seems Meryem Boz had a good game also, she actually has been good coming from the bench. Being benched seems like a good lesson for her :lol:


    However Hande as OH simply doesn't work, when she somewhat receives ok she can't kill the ball. Though I don't like to see Hande end up as Opp tbh... We truly lack in offensive OH and she seems the only option still to really fill that role.


    The thing is much like Meryem, Ebrar is also pointless in defense so if she wants to fit in Turkish NT she should do better as OH in GS. Another puzzle to solve for Gio and Turkish staff.
