    Thanks!


    I wonder why R. lazic is not playing instead of Anna Haak. Anna is very short for international level and her reception isn't any better than lazic sisters.

    Sweden desperately needs a good setter. It is a pity to see a player like Haak is playing at this level

    Anna did have a better club season than Rebecka (although neither were greatly consistent)


    I didn't watch all of the match, but I thought Andersson was fine. Nothing spectacular, but acceptable.


    Their middles are more concerning. All of Sweden's block pressure came from the wings... the middles are a free pass half of the time.

    Lilly Topic was best blocker of regular season in German league with big distance, but she can't score an attack to save her life :gone: Still I was surprised to see her on bench in NT now, last year she was starter...

    i think that's it. the staff has to challenge her, to increase on the kill skills to help her team, she already stays on the bench almost half of the match bc of rotation, you gotta be competitive on your team, imo

    Its a new coach with new ideas, they were saying on swedish news that they also hired "an expert" from USA to go through their playstyle and how they should improve their game. If they want an american influence to their playstyle they need to improve their receiving. Anna Haak I would say has a better receive than R Lazic. They have also changed players alot in the training matches.


    I agree with you on the middles, that's where the big weakness is. Setting is also a problem.

  • they should naturalize a setter. we can give them Buket who giovanni never calls for NT lol

    I saw they brought in Jim McLaughlin…. I’m not sure I would consider him an expert lol

    For an MB first job is to block. Especially considering that Sweden has a scoring machine Opp and okayish wings, they don't need a scorer MB. A good blocker would do the work at this level.


    By the way, jokes aside, indeed Sweden is one of those countries who could benefit from one good naturalization to make it to next step. They won't be medal contender all of a sudden of course but with a good setter, they could be a team winning golden league for instance

  • What's the impact of this tournament? It is not comparable to VNL right?

    Not particularly. its a weight of 10 compared to a weight of 40 for the VNL.


    However, if you can win all your matches... its a very nice boost to the ranking at a time when all of the other VNL teams are losing points.

    Indeed! Last 4 place of VNL will be losing a lot of points at the end of tournament
