Quote from sitenoise

I don't know if everyone is "hating" on her as much as just a little gentle mocking. She's a short OH with a skill set average or above average that kept her hanging around the NT for years and years. She was never going to have a breakout year, match, or set. No one was ever going to write "Yes! Uchiseto banged it"

So I think everyone just wants her to get out of the way to give others a chance, others who might have a breakout

What happened last year (at WCh) was she was deployed as libero. Her receiving skills are good, but WTF? Some suggest maybe Koga liked her because she was old, maybe Manabe liked her. She wasn't a great player but she also was one unlikely to make a big mistake

She retired at the end of this season. Saying that life as an NT libero ended her career is a stretch, but it's funny

😂 poor girl but at least she did her thang on NT

Quote from Raf

Well it ended her career

lmfao what happened? why are y’all hating on that girl? 😂

Quote from jaeden85

well they are really tall. Rebeca and Luzia are both 1.98m while Helena is 1.99m!

that is great.

Quote from jaeden85

Can't wait for these 3 to join the NT

They look tall 😱

thank God Ran already has an offer. kinda sad for the team though.

This Vibo withdrawal… so Ram Takahashi will not play in Italy next season?

Just rewatched the whole match and I am amazed of how many variations Egonu's hits were, but her tips were also magnificent. Slow tips, fast tips, placement of the tips... she was really feeling it last night.

And how many times did Voronkova got aced?

Quote from Bush

Yes, the legendary ice queen.

thats great to know. Mari really had an impact on the NT although it was short lived.

There’s no Dream Team?

Quote from Bush

Talking about Rosa and how he likes versatile players, he praises Mari (a lot), saying she could do everything well, any kind of ball from every part of the court, also said that Brazil had a chance to win everything we won because she was moved from OPP to OH;

Mari as in Mari Steinbrecher?

Quote from jt1267

An example for those who wondered why Gabi "got targeted" on serving.

The only chance Bajema would pass was for a fast and accurate serve near the sideline.

They should have served on Ayca.

Ayca seems to cover bigger space than Gabi. They should have targetted her indeed.

😂😂😂

Shout out to Cansu. She did really well tonight. ❤️

Quote from ChinRyan

I dont think Gabi was targetted, but rather she was moving around a huge area to cover for others at specific rotations, sometimes Gabi and Bajema just stand right next to each other at the moment of reception, and Gabi took the ball. They have planned the passing well

after she retires, Brazil better put her in their coaching team to teach them new girls how to receive

Quote from Kostlich

sorry who will replace egonu next season? Is it karukatsu? Lol sorry forgot her name.

😭😭😭

Quote from jt1267

Also Gabi:

31 receptions (77%+, 71%++)

OTOH Ayca only received 17 serves - wrong tactic from Ecza

She is receiving and playing defense really well tonight. And her attacks are incredible too.

I still dont understand why are they targetting her on serve.

Quote from clara

Zé Roberto and Bernardinho love her as well. She just seems like a great person to work with.

Can you imagined being coached three of the best coaches in the volleyball world?
