Skorupa was.
I know you're Skorupa's fan and I don't want to say something negative about this great player. But I don't think she will make any difference. Furthermore, she's in love with Egonu in her new relationship. For this, I don't think she was ready to move to Turkey and leave her lover alone. As I said earlier, the Vitra root problem is something systemic or structural. But this is my opinion.
Zhu did get injured, that's why she was off for sets 3 and 4
Even if boskovic is injured, Vitra still has Kim and Larson....
I know she was injured. This is why I said "badly injured" in a fictive scenario, which means she was in the same scenario of Bosko in an imaginary world. As for KIM, her performance surprised me a lot. She was still playing pretty well last season and she was also pretty popular for a foreign player in China. When she joined Vitra and left Shanghai (great salary, near her home country, lots of fans), I thought because she wanted so bad to have a CEV cup in her collection before retiring. I expect her to fight like a madwoman in order to achieve her dream. So for this, her underperformance is still puzzling me.
