I am curious who the other setter will be (pretty much confirms Nowicka is leaving)
I have heard its someone with "experience in a high level league"
Bongaerts was my first guess. (Raskie was the other... but it seems she's going back to France)
Your guess about Bongaerts is correct.
This is an indication, what part is so hard to understand?
indication of what?
Current ranking, points/match: 1. Stuttgart, 2. Dresden, 3. Potsdam, 4. Schwerin, 5. Suhl, 6. Aachen.
What has become of your previous ranking Aachen in front of Schwerin because Aachen had one match less than Schwerin? It is nonsensical to rank a team which has less point in front of a team with more points in a kind of points to match ratio. It is never guaranteed that the team with less matches and points will win those matches and move ahead of a team with more matches and points after playing those matches and levelling up on matches played.
Order of the first six now due to point to match ratio: 1. Stuttgart, 2. Dresden, 3. Potsdam, 4. Aachen, 5. Schwerin, 6. Suhl.
Your point to match ratio calculation does not make any sense. Matches has to be won first before points can be counted.
Once you manage to contain Storck, Dresden is struggling as they lack an offensive OH.
Schwerin seems more balanced in attack, but that's also because it looks like Laak is not (yet?) on the level of the top Opps in the league.
Schwerin will get stronger in the course of the season. Imoudu trained with the team just one week before the supercup and never played any of Schwerin's test matches. Yesterday's match was her first full match with the team. One could see that she needed the second set to really get a better connection with the attackers. I believe if she stays fit throughout the season Schwerin will be a contender for the title.
And with another very good performance
Looks like VNL might not end up being a complete failure eventually...
After the match Vanjak joined the team in celebrations, but I didn't see Ambrosius and Cekulaev around and I wonder if they have left
Cekulaev 4 days ago posted a photo on her IG in a room that doesn't look like a hotel room so I suspect she's gone
She hasn't played a single rally and even though the purpose to bring her probably was to enable her to work with the team and see some world class players from up close, it's a bit disappointing...
She was yelling at the net against Brazilian players. Just something that we dont see polite peopple doing this days.
Did you hear or know what the brazilian Player said to her across the net? I think you guys should stop stitting behind your keyboards and calling Players trying to do their job offensive names. A real Volleyball fan who has played the game at a high level before will not be so unpolite towards volleyball Players. Enough said.
This Gomez of a guy or whatever you are, must be a nonsense human being. What did Imoudu do to deserve being called a nonsense girl?
Ana Escamilla is back to Germany next season
(Potsdam?)
I cant imagine her going back to Guillermo Hernandez.
Nogueras to Potsdam is official. Ana Tiemi will leave the team in March "for personal reasons", which IMO could mean two things:
1) Pregnancy?
2) Nogueras won't be eligible to play in Cup final because only players who were signed before semifinal can play there, so if Potsdam let Ana Tiemi go now, they'd have only one setter for the Cup final which could be a risk, so they keep Ana Tiemi until then even though they're not satisfied with her?
Ana Tiemi is definitely not pregnant. She has other reasons for asking SC Potsdam for termination of her contract.
I don't think German NT will gather this summer when there are no competitions at all.
German NT will start a training camp from tuesday next week.
Is there any info which opposite will play for Schwerin will since Payne isn't coming?
I haven't heard anything about Lippmann lately, so maybe it could be true she will stay... Otherwise I can't name many opposites who are still free. Maybe Taylor Agost?
you guessed right
isn't she black and German ?
that black german setter has a name.
I can't stand her, either. I have never seen any setter making so many SETTING errors.
stupid comment
that black german setter is even worse than cansu omg i cant stand her. Only 11 was good. The rest are as the same level as the host team.
The black german Setter!!! Are you a racist?
I hope Imoudu won't play during VNL!!!!
Thank God you are not the person to make that decision.
Rude
just like a lot of comments are rude towards the players.
Imoudu is so imprecise.
How do you set when there is no reception?
I say poop all over this negative vibe shit. I think Germany is a good team. I enjoyed watching them and thought they played well
a lot of apes commenting here
