    I'm thinking that coach manabe is trying more new players and giving them more experience playing in a high level tournament like the grand prix..maybe he's giving hitomi nakamichi and erika araki a bit of break or play in another important tournaments...its time for these new players to play well and impress coach manabe...so who will be the main setter? is it haruka miyashita or naoko hashimoto? :drink:


    Of course, I agree with you :drink: This japanese team is a new team and these young players need time :-) They can gain experience by participating in tournaments like WGP. Manabe gave them a chance, and I hope that they won't dissapoint him and all fans all over the world! :D


    I don't know these new setters very well, but I think that main setter will be Haruka Miyashita :-)

    Werblińska is ready to play now. I don't believe in her injuries, because for me she is a liar. She just plays on competitions, which she choices to play and I don't like attitude like this.


    For you she is a liar... ok... But, why? Did she lie to you? :whistle:

    :white:


    Yeah, I'm surprised too, but.. I think that's ok. It's werid that Anastasi "forget" about Ignaczak, but during WL 2013 Zatorski was good, so maybe that's why he chose him. We have good middle-blockers, Kosok lost against "competitors".
