Eurovolley 2023

    Deja vu from yesterday? No wonder we were one state once :lol:

    What a meltdown of Czechia :what:


    I became a huge fan of Milenko, she is only 24 and can have a great future ahead of her.

    Quote from volleySrb

    and Petkov is bulgarian :)

    Yes, that's even more funny :)

    Mlejnkova woke up

    Is it only me or the ukrainian coach gives bad vibes most od the times?

    He looks so impulsive and angry most of the times. Even the girls look like they aren't following him.

    He is coaching them also in club, so imagine being with him whole year

    Quote from Matthias

    If there's one thing you can predict about women's volleyball, it's you can't predict anything. A team loses one set 10:25 and returns on court in a completely different manner 3 minutes later.

    You can say that again. I switched to the men's match and when I looked back at the score I was kind of stunned to see Ukraine nearly going for the reverse sweep.

    congratulations to czechia,a beautiful job done in this tournament


    Presence of legendary havelkova helped them a lot but today mvp was mlejnkova...what amazing line shots...she seems to make it so easy


    Congrats to ukraine too ...great game

    I agree, but this is classic Soviet-style or "old school". The coaches are trying to use very authoritarian means - such as screaming highly in the face - in order to inject a superior discipline in the team. Teams from the so called eastern block, such as Russia, Ukraine, Poland and Belarus, are the ones mostly famous for employing such tactics or strategies within the context of volleyball (and sports in general).

    Yes that's true. But it looks so useless and anachronistic nowadays..

    For Poland ended few decades ago ! Exclude us from Your list.

    Last real example of such coach was Russian Karpol. He screamed to all players during Uraloczka game against Police. It was strange because after gane he was very calm. I don't remember anybody similar to his behaviour.

    No one is finding excuses for her behavior but you obviously struggle to understand what you read. I've already told I don't approve her attitude but it doesn't change that she is doing an AMAZING job in her new position.
