2019 Volleyball Nations League (VNL)

So it finishes only 1-3 Shame because Portugal really played well, but they wasted many opportunities in 3rd set.

I'm not sure if you're serious about doubting the outcome had it been Boyer, Brizard, Lyneel or Le Goff on the court.

Yes, the coach is experimenting and i don't know why he's doing this. Again, there is no need to experiment with the players he have in his disposal.

Timothee is playing well yet he replaced him with Yacine.

His key players are resting, truth. In fact, some of them are not even in the line-up.

Jenia and Le Goff played in a lot of sets, yes. but Boyer just played in sets 1 and 2 of this game in 2 weeks, he doesn't need more rest.

Well, Boyer had an average game so...

Ok he had an average game but they did win sets 1 & 2. So.... no need to introduced a new line-up.

Bulgaria made changes and it worked, kudos to them!

What did Laurent Tillie do to counter? NOTHING

i'm ok with exposing every player in the roster but not when it cost you a game and those precious points or the play-offs.

France is my favorite team and i want them to win this VNL, Euro and the Olympics.

P.S.

This is my final post on this topic.

Voronkov

Russia winning the full 12 points this weekend. Playing at home worked wonders for them..

You mean 9?

Yeah 9 points what were I thinking *facepalm*

Bulgaria is mysterious to me. They can lose to China at 0:3, and now they beat France.

Such an unstable team.

Canada about to throw a game to Serbia's B team, yeesh. I have yet to be convinced by them this VNL.

Also I hope Vucicevic manages to grab a spot as Atanasijevic's backup in the near future because god I wouldn't mind watching him whenever I can.

Quote from ossubtus

they played with a B team... POR is probably pissed right now.

Yeah? Bulgaria was also with B team, so what? Stop the crap if you please.

Amazing victory, getting away from 0-2 lead. This is something that proves even our reserves could contest top teams.

Some changes to the Serbia NT for the next weekend in Portugal, the team will join Jovovic, Luburic, Kujundzic, instead of Vilimanovic, Pavlovic and Masulovic.

41 errors to 19 of Serbia sheesh. One of the worst games I've seen this group play. Canada is very talented but they won't make final 6 if they keep throwing up stinkers like this and the Bulgaria match.

The summary of Russia, Poland, Iran NT Coaches interview in Urmia, Iran which was broadcasted live on television:

Poland's Coach Heynen: First he was so grateful about the Urmia's people hospitality by saying that everywhere he saw the people welcoming him and want to take a photo with him and he says an example of that even in the city whenever he wants to go anywhere around twenty cars stop to give him a ride. Then he told about his focus is on Olympics qualifications and then European championships on this year, so he is just trying new players on the court to make a final decision for his combination on the more important competitions.

Russia's Coach Samuellov: He confirms the heynen's opinion about the olympic qualifications competition importance, and he said the other russian members like Musersky, Mikhailov will join to the NT for the June, but he wants to fight for F6 in chicago. Also, he said a funny thing about Verbov!! He said Verbov would probably be the new head coach of the Zenith Kazan and don't want to continue his career in NT.

Iran's Coach Kolakovic: Someone asked him why you keep using only a fixed number of player on every match and he said our focus on this year is Final six and there is a difference between the main players and the bench players and he wants to fight for every match to ensure his spot on F6.

Sorry about Hoag i missed his interview which was at the first of the meeting!
