Turkey - Vestel Venüs Sultanlar Ligi - 2018/2019

    Sadly can't find a stream...


    Beşiktaş wins set 1 (25-22)

    Galatasaray played with Cansu-Leys-Hande and without Meryem Boz. This line-up usually does best for them as Hande as opposite doesn't have to receive.


    BJK are still missing Yvon Beliën, injury might be more serious then I initially thought.


    Edit: nvm, it looks like they're working on her comeback: Click

    last set was rlly close but in the end GS prevailed 1-3. (25-27)


    Yvon Beliën can help this team if she returns, they missed her a lot. If she joins 2nd game can be really interesting.

    I`m totally done with Vitra this season...I can care less if they win Kupa Cup or the League Tittle. These 2 embarrassing losses ( Minas and Conegliano) certainly takes the pressure off Kosheleva as she was the one blamed for that terrible season.


    Thank god Larson is finally leaving as she has been useless for the past 3 seasons at the least. Kim...I have no clue what`s wrong with her, but I certainly don`t care to figure it out anymore....they should let her go. Next season they need 2 new OH and of course middles and setter....Basically just keep Boskovic and Simge. ...Only problem with that is the level of Turkish Players is very poor....I guess they could keep Meliha as there`s no other better option.


    They should hire Natalia and Gabi. And if Naz goes to Fener they should sign Ana, but problem here is that one of Natalia-Gabi would be on the bench. Best thing might be just give Gamze another chance since there`s no other option as well.


    Motta should be fired. I told everyone he was making a big mistake by putting Gamze on the bench.....simply because Edgzi spent mostly her whole career on the bench and how do you expect her to perform in big matches....well... there u have it.


    If Boskovic can`t play this weekend I don`t think they can even beat Gala in the semis...probably will even struggle against Nilufer.

    Natalia should be really a done transfer. Kim is really awful this season. I would go wirh one foreigner OH and Meliha. Meliha improved a lot and she is close ro Larsons level she can still improve even if not next season but maybe the season after it or after it Eczaci will be thankful if they let keep her as a starting player. She can become a player like Gözde in vakif.


    Eczaci needs to look for a better setter or should have kept Maja. Even in other teams, there you have Guidettis brain. Cansu Özbay was loaned from Besiktas to Vakif and at the same time Cagla from Vakif to Besiktas. Guidetti saw the shine in her and after that one season they let Cagla go and transfered Cansu as their own player now. After having Naz and now Cansu as a good setter I don‘t think that this is pure coincidence. Vakifs scouting team works with brain, whereas Eczaci is not building a team, they are just buying Names on every position.


    And renewing with Motta in the middle of the season was more than stupid.

    Ecz needs new management. Lots of poor signings. Rumor they were the first option for Zhu but didnt sign her. Biggest blunder in history if that was true.

    Did you even watch Larson last 3 season? She had pretty good seasons except this year. She is passing her prime so I wouldn't complain if they won't sign with her again but I am not sure Natalia is a better replacement. Natalia could be an alternative to Kim but I am skeptical about Natalia after so many injuries she had.


    By the way, Ana is not a that anymore the setter once she was. I don't think she would be an upgrade to Eczacıbaşı next season.


    I am not a fan of Ezgi but we all watched Gamze's terrible shape in last couple of matches so it is not a bad decision to keep her on the bench.

    maybe they can sign Ding Xia after 2020,because that time she can go abroad and her home team young setter can have a chance to improve .that girl has in the big team of China this year.

    I would love to see more Asian setters in Europe. Tominaga is doing a great job...and this is because she`s playing with a bunch of mediocre players besides Vasilantonaki. Tomkom must come back.

    Di Iulio,Partenio or Garzaro are not world class but are far from being mediocre players :aww:. I don't even want to mention Cardullo :aww: Di Iulio is such a mediocre player that in fact Guidetti wanted to transfer her in Vakif :lol:

    I`m soooo sorry I totally forgot about Cardullo... She`s in fact with Fabi my 2 all time favorite libero.


    What I meant by mediocre is that they are not world class players. So Tominaga must work hard to get everyone involved since there`s not a "Egonu" or "Zhu" in the team.

    I completely forgot Tominaga is playing in Italy. Is she doing well there?


    I miss Tomkom. Is she playing in her home town? I watched Indonesian's Proliga a bit and it is crazy how many huge names they have there. Ajcharaporn, Pornpun, and Pimpichaya were all playing there. Even Bethania de la Cruz was there.

    Asian setters won't work in Europe. Their style simply doesn't fit European teams. I still remember a magician like Wei playing in Azerbaijan, and she was so bad, she even got replaced..

    Asian setter would work pretty much good in Seria A but in Turkish league if you have foreign setter than you can have only 2 foreign attackers and you don't have so much great local players so it would be very hard.
