Woow hall is almost empthy , I was expecting way bigger crowd in Turkey today TBH.

Lets go Chieri

Woow kind surprise that Chieri is starting with Bujis - Skinner OH duo instead Omoruyi-Skinner and Sara Alberti as starting MB.

Galtasaray got blocked 3 times already, two time on Ilkin

Ilkin is really bad, 3blocks on her and 1 attacking error and this is just start of the first set

Ilkin is really bad, 3blocks on her and 1 attacking error and this is just start of the first set

shes always been mediocre. i honestly dont understand why gs fans worship her

And Skinner is not better, She can’t score. She is around 15-20% in attack for now and sets are not bad She just can’t score for now.

This is kind of match that I expected, it is very fun match.

I don’t like bongaert’s sets so far

i started watching from 4-7 and ilkin was nothing but solid. This shows the importance of not to rush judging a player from the first few plays

Gicquel can't get past a single block on setpoint.

And Buijs hit the ball out on the other set point.

Story of Chieri this season.

turkish chieri takes the first against the italian chieri😂

this is anyones game though still.

I do believe she made around 6-7 errors in just first set for now with her game. This is not solid performance if you want to be high level OH.

Fun game so far

The score was tight, the quality was meh. Lots of errors from both sides, plus countless bad passing and settings. They are just proving why they are playing in Challenge Cup rightly so.

Chieri is has nice in second set but they were leading in the first set too and they wasted their opportunities. Lets see if they will are gone do it ones again…

Lazovic is having a very nice game offensively at least to my eye test. I didn’t see the whole first set so I don’t know if she made a bunch of errors then or not
