Russia - SUPERLEAGUE PARIMATCH 2020/2021

  • Therefore it is like in Italy, where league round winner earns the first CL slot?

    AFAIK, it's not. Maybe Bricio, Fabris, or Startseva will play when things turn difficult.

  • Fedorovtseva is doing very well as OPP so far, but I don't like the idea. She's an exceptionally good receiver for her age, so IMO it would be a waste of talent turning her into OPP.

    The problem is not really with Arina as she can play both positions well enough IMO. Maybe she can turn as a receiving Opp probably like Neslihan? Or she can be like Zhang Chang Ning.

  • Kazan already won CL ticket their is no way they would let this squad for such an important match.

    I read an interview with Kazan coach yesterday. He says they need to win the match with Uralochka to earn CL ticket.. Not sure if he was just mistaken

  • I think the top 3 of the league finals go to the Champions League based on previous years.

  • How do you guys think of Natalia’s performance in Moscow overall? Will she stay next season or play in a different country?

    Rumours are that Moscow wanted to renew with her but she decided to go to Scandicci.

  • She made 22 points yesterday.

  • Nice comeback by Uralochka, when they started 3rd set 1:8 I thought the match was over...


    Kadochkina's reception is too weak to play as OH but her attack especially from pos.1 is too weak to play as OPP X/


    Smirnova 22 pts with 71% attack after 3 sets :super::obey:

    Agree! That's why she gotta find a club where she can be a full-time starter because she won't ever learn those things being on the bench...

  • So top 3 of playoffs qualify for CL? Winning regular season and the Cup wouldn't get Kazan into CL?


    Fedorovtseva is doing very well as OPP so far, but I don't like the idea. She's an exceptionally good receiver for her age, so IMO it would be a waste of talent turning her into OPP.

    Yes top 3 go to cl

    Last year it was based on regular season for that moscow was out before they give them a spot

  • Uralochka's fighting spirit plus Kazan's terrible reception all of sudden turn this into a very interesting match :white: Smirnova is really amazing and this Bachinina girl is doing much better than Kostyuchik, why didn't she get more chances earlier??

  • Arina is just amazing :white::white:

  • Oh poor Uralochka ;( They can still be proud of themselves for the great fight they put up until the end! Too bad Smirnova missed the attack at 25:25, she played amazing overall.


    But I have no words for Fedorovtseva's performance in this 4th set :obey::obey::obey: She can't be 17!!!

  • Smirnova according to statistics 31/47 (66%) today. :super:


    Fedorovtseva one more time showed, how a big player is she already. Keep repeating that i know, but she is just 17yo. :white::heart:

    It is interesting to see how a young player is coming up to be a big star. What a journey she will have ahead of her. Maybe with her rise Russia will slowly moved on from Goncharova they way they moved on from Gamova to Goncharova.


    Will Parubets-Fedorovtseva be a good OH duo for the NT?

  • Smirnova 31 pts

    Fedorovtseva 28 pts

    Kadochkina 23 pts :white: I thought she was worse than that for what I watched :lol:


    Now, the final in some minutes :super:

  • congrats to uralochka

    Even when they lose parubets and both foreigners were useless

    They use their own players and achievwme a semi final
