From what I read on Novara website (http://www.agilvolley.com/igornovara.asp?id=3&idnews=2995), Fenerbache doesn't have any problems about it and the teams are working smoothly on the planning of the games.

Savino just published the match is confirmed, but says nothing about Eczacibasi, my guess is they're having a problem, which is even weirder since Tuscany is not a risk area.

It goes without saying that the situation is still in development, in the next days we're going to know more about it.

Every area is risk, Tuscany is not infected area yet. I repeat so far many news is so overdramatic, but Italy must be high proffesionally if they want to avoid more infected ones. Certainly neither Scandicci nor Eczacibasi will be the one to decide whether or not the match will be played.

I'am last one who want to moving/delaying the match, just we must be honest and realistic.

Quote from ossubtus

there’s some rumors, which i think a bit far-fetched right now, that the entire OGs might be canceled.

That rumors have origin in interview of former WADA president and incumbet member of IOC Dick Pound. He said that IF conditions will not allow games to be held when scheduled, they will be canceled not delayed because delaying / moving such a major event is practicly impossible. The media eager for the sensation interpreted it in a slightly different (wrong) way

Quote from beri

So is it oficially an epidemic yet? It was on 10% mortality rate for days and still is at 8-9% I think now.

It is way higher than the estimate from WHO, which was 2%

For annoucment of epidemic needs 10% infectious from the total population of a nation, not mortality rate and even mortality rate is now 3,4% worldwide while recovery percent is 37,3 %.

Please be responsible and precise in your posts, because we mustn't share false news.

True, North Italy(Veneto and Lombardia)is collpased and yes many clubs is from that region and obviously Seria A is paused for some time but will be continue soon as possible

Coronavirus isn't on epidemic level in any country(for influenza(flu) attack rate is 10% for annoucment epidemic), and we are very far from pandemic.

Quote from serdar

Moreover, you should consider the risk of transfer 3 new players to starting-6. Big teams reach success via stability in their core players. Changing, Opp, Oh and Mb at the same time too much, no matter with whom they are replacing

I agree that risk exist when team have a numerous changes, but enlist young and players with potential that is invest in future, what can they get if they keep the same composition that obviously didn't work best?

Quote from serdar

Looks good indeed but Im not sure if this roster will be an upgrade to current season's roster

Brakocevic=>Smarzek

Vasileva=>Herbots

Veljkovic=>Danesi

Basically replacing 3 very experienced players with 3 younger ones with more or less similar qualities

I kind of disagree with this compares, especially in Vasileva Herbots, IMO that will be at least Herbots >= Vasileva, and when we add that Herbots have a lot of space for improving i will be definetly choose Herbots over Vasileva(Herbots is young but not without experience, she is a true leader), also Veljkovic is superb and powerfull attacker but Dannesi is for me much better blocker and not too worse attacker at least Dannesi IMO won't decrease quality of MB duo if Novara enlist her, and about Smarzek i agree, i don't see any improvment with that move, Lipman for example will be much better option IMO.

Quote from Gomes

Veljkovic its not that old for Paris.

She will be 34 yo, IMO that is a lot of ages for middles, i mean she obviously won't be the same player on the same level as now. On the other hand Serbia have few youngsters who will be, i hope, show themselves in next years and ofc IMO main Serbia MB duo in next olympic cycle will be Popovic - Aleksic.

Quote from Gomes

Paris 2024 can be her fifth appearence at olympics, but till now she was just a back up.

Actually in past at the Olympic she wasn't always benched, she was starter in all 5 matches in London 2012 and was starter in last 3 matches at Beijing 2008.

Also she was planing as starter in Rio 2016 and was that in first 3 matches but Stevanovic was better fit for the team in that moment.

Again great performance for Popovic. She is in Italy few years already and she had a really good games so far but she wasn't constant and now she is, because of that and because of playing level of other serbian middles this season she deserve place in starting 6. I guess that Terzic will be pick 3 middles for Tokyo and that will be really interesting "battle" between (Rasic, Veljkovic, Popovic, Aleksic) but at the end Terzic is old school and a litlle bit slow in changes and i think that Rasic and Veljkovic have secure spot not depends on theirs play in rest of the season. (also Tokyo will be "final" of this generation and they deserve to be in Tokyo)

Sorry for the little bit off topic post but Popvic performances in Seria A pulled me for this kind of post.

how much is good for players to raise up in powerhouses from strong league like Turkish league as,equal is hard for them because they have a lot of pressure and they must handle it if they want to confirm her potential, also it is hard for them because when they have a chance and screw up they usualy are being benched and that is so har mentaly to handle it, selfconfidence is in downhill and it is hard to restore it.

And Ebrar had to get a chance to play as starter in this season, that would be clearly situation about her in many respects.

My prediciton will be Vakif and Conegliano for sure and also i think that Ecz will win against Scandicci only because of Boskovic, but always have a possibility that she underperform(very low posibility)and in that way Scandicci have their chances, at the end Fenerbahce - Novara is widely open match for me, espeacilly because Fener is without Mihajlovic.

Good luck for all the teams and wish great fights.

And we have the pairs of QF

1. Fenerbahce - Novara

2. Dynamo Moscow - Vakifbank

3. Scandicci - Eczacibasi

4. Stutgart - Conegliano

Quote from Gomes

Does anyone can talk about gabi and Natalia performance today?

Gabi was very good today, in all aspects of play(serve is maybe squeaked a bit) but she was amazing in reception, have some really good defence and very sure in attack, also worthy of note that connection between her and Maja is better from game to game and i like a lot vibe and fedback after every set of Maja to Gabi. Even she was the best blocker of Vakif but i couldn't notice that during the game. In one word IMO she was amazing.

I didn't watch a whole game of Eczacibasi so i couldn't say many about Natalia performance, but judge by her statistic she was at least very solid.

Big shame on Eczacibasi because they looks like an less than average team without Boskovic, and we all knows who is guilty for that....Motta it is your time to go(finaly)!

I hope that Buša will not receive like this when summer come in and national team actions start, especially because of oponents , Serbia will play against much stronger oponents that Vasas Budapest is.

She is very solid in attack on the other hand in this match, maybe she and Brankica switch their main job in team

Team 7-10 places will also continue the competition by playing two more matches each with each(6 in total) after wich last two teams will play for staying in the league in two matches won system.

What a beautiful swing from Kelsey she is one adorable player for watching.

Quote from crovolley

Are you watching her ?? She is playing terrible especially in reception

Yes i watched every match with broadcast of Ecz from the start of the season and yes when she was in game she was and she is better and more worthly for Ecz than both of KYK and Natalia. I did not say that she is amazing, she make errors that is true but my point was something else.

*p.s

also one more importang thing

that she is domestic player and ecz need a good stable domestic player more than anything and one and only way to have that is to give a chance to young player to be starter.
