Santarelli has opportunities to make huge things with Serbia. Especially if Maja keeps playing.
And I think Serbia will go with main team at VNL this year. Different 100%.

I wonder what the future looks like for Brankica. She hasn’t been in form lately obviously but I wonder if she retires or gives it one last go ?
Im actually quite excited for Serbia this coming World Championships and VNL. I hope they take VNL seriously and send their A team like what USA and Brazil do.

I could not imagine Santarelli not fielding their A team for VNL when he is still exploring the best combination for the team.
About Terzic we don't have much information, but it seems like he will stay (with due respect, but ). Several reasons have influence on opinion like that, but in way of official information we have to wait .

When you proudly remind of your mistake and correct it with great pleasure.

I really hope they bring their team A on VNL, but I when I think of VNL and Serbia, I think of what happened with that serbian libero
Display MoreNew coach opens even more question marks, but now i really don't know what to expect. So table with active players is presented in below.
Coach
Daniele Santarelli
Established players (part of at least one major competition *or well known players with no chance in NT so far)
Setters Opposites Outside hitters Middle blockers Liberos Ognjenović Bošković Lazović Veljković? Popović? Antonijević Bjelica Buša Stevanović Pušić Živković Milenković Popović Jegdić MirkovićLoLCrnčević Aleksić Kocić
Newcomers (some with VNL experience and some 100% freshmans)
Setters Opposites Outide hitters Middle Blockers Liberos Veselinović Carić Uzelac Kurtagić Đurđević Perović Savić Mirosavljević Osmajić Gočanin Jakšić Tica Milojević
VNL*
As i already stated i hope and actually i'm pretty sure that we will finally have a competitive squad for VNL, entirely or partly i don't know. This is my thoughts about that competition and lineup.
S: Antonijević, Veselinović, Perović
OPP: Bošković, Carić, Savić
OH, MB, L: all listed players in some combination,...,i have no special thoughts.
explanations:
- we don't need Maja at this competition, i think it would be win win situation for both Maja and in way of testing new players that we need so much at this position, but with players which supposed to be their teammates in team for which they will have been tested.
- Bjelica would be uninspirative choice for backup, with NT she collected so much medals which she deserved btw, but without some major in game contribution, so it's time to move on from her and find a solution in Carić, Savić making true and solid backup.
In my opinion, Uzelac or Mirosavljevic can take Busa place

Busa's performance dropped significantly since her transfer in Russia. I could not remember her being part of starting 6 in the russian league for lokomotiv.

She missed the first part of the season because of injury
anyhighlights?

I guess the most interesting thing is he already spoke to Stevanovic and she has accepted his invitation to come back to the NT.
Mostly it's pretty standard interview stuff. He wants to have close contact with youth coaches and has already requested videos on the young prospects but he wants everyone to have a chance. He'll speak to the likes of Rasic and Veljkovic to confirm their NT status going forward. He'll have a mix of Serbian and Italian coaches working with the team. He is interested to see how the player's respond to his different, more emotional personality. He'll speak with every player about the VNL before he decides who will be in the roster, but understands that some may need a break.
I may be forgetting something but that's the general idea.
Anything about the most talented Serbian setter? Talking about Antonijevic of course 😇
I want to believe that she will play at least the VNL (probably Ognjenovic won't be there - ofc this is only my guessing). Maybe Ognjenović - Antonijević duo would be finally dream come true at WCH (decade since they didn't play together).
6 minutes of Genius Maja on the 4 Olympics she played (so far )
Brankica Mihajlovic is on her recovery in Serbia and she doesn't have retirement on mind, nor club nor NT.
"I hope that I will be ready for NT summer. I am focused on being
100% me on court, without pain."
"I talked with the coach. The WCH for sure, and we will see about the VNL later. I can't predict anything, I think positively. I think it will be fine, I hope to be on the court soon."
I really respect her motivation after such a bad period, and i'm not 100% into her health situation, but now it last for two years with huge downgrade and we all know that her game basicily depends on phisical domination. ATM i really can't see how she can help and tbh i don't believe in her revive.
Kosheleva was able to come back from a slump in her volleyball career. So maybe, Brankica can do it too.

so so excited for this and her. I really hope she can come back healthy and go out how she wants to go out
Bianka Busa at the end had to go under surgery to repair hand injury. Surgery went well and now for her follows the recovery period.
