Turkey making many errors and look very shaky. Their middles are not as good as they usually are, especially Eda today. Naz is not playing great and one can tell Hande has benched this season.
Maybe start with Meliha(or Fatma/Seyma)-Ebrar and Meryem with Asli Kalaç and Zehra as MBs and Cansu Özbay as setter?
Germany, don’t let this slip!
Turkey is better when teams have time to prepare like in VNL or ECH. When you have to play during season they are weaker as many of them are on bench whole season.

It’s definitely a reason for Hande’s poor performance, but I’m not sure about the rest. Naz, Eda, Zehra, Ebrar and Simge have played pretty much all the time this season. The reason Meliha hasn’t played more is that when she has played she’s been really bad.
Putting Ebrar at mp LOL gio
Nice match by germany, Orthmann was great today, her attacks may not be strong but they are very clever.
Congrats Germany, great win for them!👏
Orthmann
Well done Germany, well deserved win, Orthmann and Lippmann were queen but also the MBs performed today!
In Turkey basically only Zehra was good, Turkey always starts bad in these tournaments. (Ech 3-2 won barely vs Finland f.e.) I'm sure Turkey'll play better upcoming matches. Ebrar has to be on court at all times.
What a game by Germany!
Great to see Gui punished by yesterday's interview😁😉
Upset in the first match, the tournament is off to a good start
The good thing for turkey is that neither Poland or Bulgary are in the same pool. Belgium with all their power could put Turkey in some trouble, bit without so many good players... i dont think so!
Insisting on Meryem at 4th set This is not an experimental friendly tournament that you can use different starting players in every set Gio. I didnt have big hopes for the tournament but after I watched this there isnt left any. When was the last time Turkey had lost to Germany?
German girls are all beautiful!
Congrats Germany!It may only be the first match of the tournament but it definitely shows that there are no clear favorites and until Jan 12 no one can be sure which team we'll see in Tokyo!
Congratulations to Germany by the way. Great team work and they fully deserved to win. Lippman is a world class OPP
Serves Guidetti right. Wahaha SO happy for Germany. Now it’s time for Belgium to hammer that last nail.
