JT just started playing abroad. This is her first season and she just played like a couple of games. It is way too early to judge her. I don't think Boskovic and Egonu played they way they are playing now when they first started, too. Plus, there are so many different factors to consider when we wanna compare players. JT is a good player and she will be the best on her own terms. Vargas, too. Put both of these girls in the same environment of training as Boskovic and Egonu and see if they can perform up to the par.

IIRC the medical team of Eczaciabsi kept clearing her to play, deeming her fit, even though she is in pain, which is probs what the pain killers are for. Only when she consulted one outside the team (apparently Koshe's) did she know that her condition should have kept her from playing. Her playing with an injured knee only worsened her condition. Anyone who plays volleyball here, or knows body mechanics would know that playing with a bad leg causes your other one to compensate. Which makes you more vulnerable to other injuries. That's what greed does to athletes.
yeap. our body is a chain of kinetic system - including the joints. once Thaisa's knee was injured, it put a lot of stress on her ankle - and to make things worse, she is a MB which means lateral movements are very common in her game.
this is why i always have some kinda scare watching these MBs landing with one feet after they go for cross-step blocking. at one point, these players will have issues with their knee and ankle joints if their lower body are not conditioned to take such a beating.

So Barueri just dropped out of the match like that? Giving free win to Dentil?
-
What was the drama with Coach Ze pulling out his team from playing?

THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH

Thaisa should play abroad after Tokyo. Vitra should take her back considering the fact that their MBs are basically useless now.
-
Is she performing bad?
She has her ups and downs - but more downs. i think the club is disappointed with her overall performance. She was subbed with Kasiely lately. I think Minas is lost in every sense. They lost the magical coach who brought them success last year and downgraded to someone who seems to doesn't know what he is doing. And of course, going from the best Brazilian OH duos to Deja - Acosta - Kasiely - Lana.

Thaisa is on every category except receiving. What a player she is.
Any stats on best setter?
-
Twisted her ankle during practice. She will do some exams today to see the level of the injury.
It will be sad if she has a major injury, however thinking the team itself I still think Praia is the main containder for every title this year.
They still have Martinez. And Monique can be a good sub Opp too.
-
the other thing about negro is, he is very touchy towards his players, much more than any other coach i have observed. these days, it's kinda dangerous to be like that...
the way he sushed Kasiely during that argument with Gattaz is weird.
-
Still no replay for the final match between Turkey VS German?
-
Bia should be there because she played as one of the main MBs during the entire cycle but Fabiana would still be a better option, especially with a setter that know how to set a good slide attack (hi, Roberta
).Is Walewska out of the picture for slider? and is that a SHADE towards Roberta?
-
I like Kasiely. I get positive vibes from her since she played in Rexona. I hope they sort thnings out.
-
Any link to Monza VS Bergamo?
-
Great debut by Plummer! Hope she can pick up the steam from here onwards. Great decision by the coach to put her as Opp. She is not the best receiver there is so having to take her out of the receiving can ease her up a little bit. Hope this game will be uploaded in YouTube.

The farewell match of Deja is a bit emotional. I feel sorry for her. She came in to fill a huge shoes left behind by Brazilian’s best OH duo. One thing you can’t take away from her is how much of a positive vibe she is on court. Always smiling and always cheering. Hope she finds a new team and league that fits her potential very soon.
-
Well, it was a mistake signing her, but if you can fix it, you should try it, and they did, plus they will pay her salaries and everything - how many teams even do that? I think it is a good deal to both of them.. Minas now will have a player ready to perform in a higher level, and Deja can find a team and league that match her own level... It's win-win situation
Now it is time to fire Negroyour post is giving me a heart attack 😂 i thought it was the n word turns out it was a name 😂😂😭
-
How many games until the elimination stage begins?
-
So far only Tandara , Natalia, and Gabi secured their spots in Tokyo. And we can throw Camilla Brait in there as well unless Leia or Fabi decides to return.
