Great choices!
Finally we have a coach we should have had 12 years ago at least… hope Lavarini can stay longer.

Sylla got an award for best OH?
Fir me BY FAR best OHs were Gabi and Lukasik. Both carried their teams to finals. -
Imo Poland wasn’t mentally stronger. I know that the game was really long yesterday but Poland was far from a decent job today.
I watched only the second and third set and Italy can won everything for sure. But imo the opponents (USA and Poland) wasn’t up to the task. Italy just hold their own game.
till now Poland was the team in this final phase that showed better performance (Against Türkiye ) even when both setters are underperforming .To be honest Poland was getting worse and worse since week 3 already. Especially Lukasik and Stysiak are under their best shape. Let’s see tomorrow but don’t expect a lot.

Fivb did Poland dirty. Why did they have to play earlier than Japan and Brazil when they clearly have less downtime?
because Japan pays FIVB lots of money
-
Wolosz is so experienced and won so much in her career that I don’t believe she was nervous in QF game of even not the most important tournament this year. She is probably just tired and in bad shape but for sure she can play better after a few weeks without intense schedule
But I think Wenerska fits better to the system and plays with better accuracy, especially with Korneluk. She should enter the court much often and earlier. Maybe tomorrow she will get more chances same as Malwina. This double sub is so strong
Korneluk said that since Wolosz joined they were not training much because all they did was matches all the time maybe she needs to practice with girls more in a training environment.

Poland to win needs better performance of Stysiak. And she showed she can be the true leader, she is just having some kind of worse time since last VNL tourney. She can certainly score 20+ points with good percentage. And I don’t agree Antropova is better than her, Antropova always chokes in important moments and it was visible in OQT.
BTW changing timing of semifinals just yesterday is a very bad move which should never happen. -
I don’t think so! You’re talking about maybe Stysiak could have gotten couple more points. Well Poland already had #15 compensating any short comes. Whereas I am talking about missing players such as Hande, Meliha and Zehra, specially when you have a player like Cebice who is being detrimental to your team!
okay so in general you don’t want discussion about volleyball, you just want to say Turkey lost because of missing players.
Usually Stysiak hits around 50% or over in attack with single mistakes, today she did 33% with 10 errors. For me it is massive downgrade. Wolosz was bad and for sure she can play much better. If I compared this match to what Poland played in OQT or last year VNL I would say Poland was around 60% of what they can be. Not saying Turkey can’t play better they can for sure.
-
Well, yes Poland won but for them this is it, I don’t think they will get any better than that, so IMHO thy should have won in 4 sets. Regardless congrats to Poland! My MWP was Poland’s player #15. She was the difference maker. Whereas Turkiye needed desperately Hande or Meliha and Zehra for sure, Cebice looked awful and Ebrar was well below her level and middles were so so, but they were still able to go deep in this game.
Really? I think Poland can play much better, Stysiak and Wolosz were terrible tbh. Mostly Czyrnianska saved us.
-
Whenever I watch a player like Czyrniańska, I’m reminded of a saying that isn’t very popular but holds a lot of truth: "Talent beats everything."
yet Polish fans say she shouldn’t go to OG because she was injured whole season and Fedusio should go instead
-
3 days ago: „but Turkey is not all about Vargas”
Today: Vargas making 90% of points
-
Turkey is aiming OG and VNL is just preparation for them now. As Cansu said on interview that even game day against good rivals, they make exercises at gym.
that’s true except every team does this now
at least those going to Paris -
lmao
You know volleyball is played with 7 players right?
I know but why then set 80-85% of the balls to one player?
-
We saw in game with Brazil that nothing really depends on Vargas.
It is exact same situation as with Boskovic. Set 50 balls to them and pray they can kill them.
So far it worked last years for both Serbia and Turkey and nothing changed since then.

Display MoreVNL 2024:
GIAP 3 TUR 2
ITA 3 - TUR 1
CHINA 3 - TUR 2
BRA 3 TUR 0 - (25/14, 25/14 , 25/19)
yeah, for sure VNL scores will be very important in OG… Poland swept Italy 3-0 so I guess Poland will win gold?
-
Three players from last year's winning team have injuries. Even if they make it to the Olympics, they will lack training and game time, hence they will be out of shape. TUR should have let go of VNL and followed the Serbian model. I would have expected Santarelli to be wiser. This is also his first experience managing a team without star players....
only Zehra from starting 6. Anyways it all depends on Vargas so who cares
-
I agree, Turkey is much better than Italy lately so why on earth Italy is now a clear favourites? I would say Brazil and Turkey are teams to beat right now.
-
I predict:
FRA TUR JPN KENBRA USA NED SRB
ITA POL CHN DR
i really believe Turkey has strong back in FIVB -
Yes I think that playing with 3 OPP at the same time was the main reason for bad OG performance. Rosner was already after her best times but certainly Werblinska or Mirek or Jagielo could have been starters. Okay Glinka was maybe half OH but Podolec never played as OH and I really don’t know what was Bonitta thinking.
Even with this crazy setting they were close to beating Japan and USA and took a set of strong China and Cuba but certainly they could have done much more than this. -
Szczyglowska was great in VNL outside of Brazil and China matches. But Stenzel for sure is better receiver and more experienced at NT level. I’m sure she will go to Paris as a main libero.
-
I don’t think that being in basket 1 or 2 will matter that much for Poland. 33% chance of getting France is not such an amazing buffer tbh considering it would be more beneficial to get a weaker opponent in quarterfinal than in the group stage. I don’t think losing matches on purpose is a way to go… outside of that random time pre-Rio when winner of Dominican Rep - Puerto Rico match was going to play in much tougher Olympic Qualifier tournament with top Asian & European teams and the loser with the African ones. Still can’t believe how Kwiek decided that he wanted to win that match
but also this way Poland avoids Turkey and China and both are the teams Poland has worst record against
