A little summary for our game from my perspective:
Uzelac is rising star for our team (I’ve been her biggest fan for a few years now, and I’m so happy to see her finally play big games )
She would do even better if she got to start games against weaker teams first, but it was tough schedule for us and she still performed.
I would like her to get more responsibilities in reception, but its not safe to try against such strong teams so I understand someone else occasionally covering for her but she has been very solid in defense so far.
She is an amazing server and I’m glad it finally shows, I’m waiting for her to get even more comfortable to start putting even bigger serve preassure
Bjelica is not finding her rythm yet
Drca tried playing faster, it may take some time to adapt to whatever style they are trying to play.
Busa/Lozo arent having their best performances, they can do so much more, and I don’t wanna be too quick to judge
Aleksic/Popovic doesn’t work and Kurtagic should be let in to play. She is incredibly talented, one of the best MBs, if not the best, of her generation in the world. AMAZING blocker and not that strong attacker, but she can’t do worse then Popovic in that segment anyway
Closing blocks has been a problem in all 3 games, Stevanovic will help in that in second week with how fast she is to close the block and get good touch to help defense
Guidetti still doesn’t have the courage to put Popovic on the bench when she isn’t performing, my only worry is that he woluld do the same with Maja
All in all, not too bad, but I wish we would have done better
