in my opinion, guidetti completely lost control with the turkey selection. Imagine playing with cebecioglu and karakurt in position 4 together.
True. This lineup would certainly not work in many cases, especially in the most important games during WCH, but it's a desperate move. Derya was the best player in these friendlies for Turkish side and it's good to see the other MBs having a chance to play. I din't know Ayçin too much, but she has potential. So, what's left for Gio is deciding the backupp setter between Sila and Elif and the libero between Aylin and Ayça.
For USA's side, I think Karch decided his 14 athletes. I still think Poulter's connection with the MBs is not the bet yet but they have time to improve. I just wish Kelsey had some rest. She's the most important player of this team, not only due to her experience, also because I can't see any other OH having the same role as her with such technique. That said, I really love Alli Frantti. She's very athletic and her approach reminds me a lot of Hills one, but she's more aggressive than the former player.
