fenoglio said that the break is a disaster so generally paok didnt want that break...the only absence would be the second libero (Papadopoulou)
obviously the same goes for Olympiakos. only the fourth MB is U19.
except Thetis, maybe Aris wanted the break because they use a lot their 2nd setter (she also won the mvp award against Thira)
Wouldn't such a long two week/half month break be a disaster for ALL teams?
All coaches/players would have been preparing all season for their condition to peak during the playoffs, for that to be halted with half a month break without any matches in between. They will have to plan friendly matches in between.
