2021 U18 Girls World Championship

    Quote from Brtkk

    Dilay was in ECH. Özge was starting setter I believe but she is injured (çapraz bağ, sorry can't remember the word lol) . That's why she didn't get the call. Dilay is coming from Eczacıbaşı ll she is good, she will be starter probably. Other setter might be Elif.

    Dilay is Baris Ozdemir’s daughter by the way. I don’t know much else about her though.

    ITALIA- RUSSIA 0-3 (17-25, 25-27, 23-25)

    ITALIA: Giuliani 12, Gannar 5, Viscioni 8, Ituma 17, Modesti 2, Passaro 1, Barbero (L). Batte, Ribechi, Zola, Piovesan, Esposito, Acciarri, Bellia, Ne Spaziano, Adriano. All. Mencarelli

    RUSSIA: Kobzar 2, Kapralova 5, Suvorova 4, Shvydkaia 9, Zamanskaia 2, Zhabrova 6, Khabibraknmanova (L). Sergeeva 16, Isypova 2, Demidova 5, Popova 1, Rubtsova. All. Karikov

    Durata set: 24’, 30’, 28’

    Italia: 5 a, 12 bs, 4 mv, 25 et

    Russia: 11 a, 9 bs, 7 mv, 20 et



    Italy can't seem to win any of these test matches 😂

    They're still trying Ituma as OH looks like with Giuliani this time, I'm curious to see her reception stat but considering how little the MB and everyone else scored it shouldn't be great lol. Also looks like Modesti is a MB and not an OH as I previously listed her (honestly I've never even heard of her)

    Oh right... I forgot about that:lol:

    he played quite a long time indeed, like till his 40s. First as Oh and then as Libero

    Varvara Sergeeva who plays blocker?

    Quote from DiMa_93

    Varvara Sergeeva who plays blocker?

    Yes. She is MB and she's too tall (1.97), btw. Furthermore, it seems that the coach moved Shvydkaia (1.98) to the Opp position... Let's see if she adapts well.

    Some updates regarding the roster. 16 girls are still in the race. 12 will fly to Mexico.

    Serbian wide roster


    s: Mandović, Lakićević, Baić

    opp: Zelenović

    oh: Uzelac, Ivanović, Tomić, Vajagić, Mateska, Zubić

    mb: Kurtagić, Šućurović, Jaramazović, Tomović

    l: Pakić, Kujundžić

    Is there another good prospect next to Uzelac and Kurtagiç to pay attention?

    Ivanović and Vajagić are my picks, both are OH nominaly, but i don't know with which lineup Caković is planing to play, Uzelac wass opp in last EuroVolley u17 for example, but i would love to see her now as full time OH. Maybe Šućurović (MB).

    Italy released their final roster

    Like I said before Italy isn't favourite and it might be the weakest generation of last 10 years


    But I think they can make a podium at least,I follow them,they did good against poland,then win 1/3 against russia and some matches against A2/B1 teams


    The girls changed a lot from last ech,finally they understand ribecchi a girl that isn't even 1.80 be a starter

    This girl viscioni has doing good in friendlies and I like Bellia a lot.she's like the classic italian player


    But italian hopes are in Ituma,the girl is physically wonderful and imo should be best Opp of this wch,if she play in beast mode,who knows


    I don't know setters and mb but let see

    Team Serbia:


    Setter: NINA MANDOVIĆ , MAŠA LAKIĆEVIĆ,ELENA BAIĆ .


    Opposite: JOVANA ZELENOVIĆ

    LIBERO: ANJA KUJUNDŽIĆ , STEFANA PAKIĆ .


    MB: HENA KURTAGIĆ, IVA ŠUĆUROVIĆ , ANA JARAMAZOVIĆ , ANDREA TOMOVIĆ .


    OH: ALEKSANDRA UZELAC, KSENIJA TOMIĆ , VANJA IVANOVIĆ , UNA VAJAGIĆ , SIMONA MATESKA, ANJA ZUBIĆ.

    And now it is official that Serbia will play without Aleksandra Uzelac, it was strange to me to see her on the wide list, i thought that maybe the rule has changed. But no, Per FIVB regulations one player can't compete in more than two age category in one national team season.

    Where did she compete other than the u20?
