I'd rather have Bongaerts.
Please no, I don't want Eczacibasi to destroy Bongaerts😅

Aachen has a new Coach with Eelco Beijl.
5 Players are left Aachen. Bernard, Polder , Blenckers , Divoux (Lille) and Storck.
Hmm I don't think he is the best coach...
On the other side I'm happy because it probaply will give young Dutch players a chance to develop in the German league
I also thought M. Japser would leave Aachen?
-
I honestly don't think at this point Skorupa would be that big of improvement, she hasn't been great lately
I agree, but in general there is a lack in good setters at the moment so there isn't much choice😅
Both Hanke and Antonijevic aren't world class setters either. Although Antonijevic did a pretty decent job in Casalmaggiore, so I think she could be the best option for Eczacibasi.
-
Only if Ecz could signed Cansu, but no way that Vakif will let her go especially when this is maybe Ognjenovic last season as pro player.
Maybe Denise Hanke is really coming back to Ecz.
I don't see many great setters free
Cansu should be perfect for Eczacibasi, but no way Vakifbank will let her go indeed.
Hanke could be one of the options, maybe also Antonijevic or Skorupa?

Lauren Carlini confirms she will be playing in Turkey with THY.
Curious which foreign setter will sign with Eczacibasi now?
-
Annie Cesar leaves Stuttgart. She has a offer from another First Division Team, who she are No.1 Libera.
Good for her! I like her a lot and in this way she can develop to become a better player. IMO she should be the second libero in national team after Pogany and has a chance to take over te starting spot, if she becomes a better libero.
-
Any news about Daalderop? Where is she going to play next season?
Unfortunately not
-
Who is the coach of Pesaro?
Is he still coaching? -
Off topic, but I didn't really follow volleyball back then.
I see Pesaro has Wijnhoven as their libero, while as far as I know van Tienen always was the main libero for the Dutch NT back than. Who was better of the two and do you know why Wijnhoven didn't play for Dutch NT?
Thanks in advance!

She would be perfect For Minas
Yes that's right! , but my wish is to see Balkestein-Grothues in Minas. She is the same sort of player as Geerties, but her passion fits the Brazilian style. I gues that will never happen
-
Now I think more of it, I actually want Dijkema to sign with Dynamo Moscow. I want to see the annoyed face of Goncharova when Dijkema starts running in circles after they make a point, as she usually does when her team scores a point
-
Geerties back to Schweriner?
I mean she would be great for them, but she could be a good asset for teams as Monza, Casalmaggiore, Firenze etc. -
why do they want her
? IMO she is an average setter.Russia hasn't great setters by themselves, except for Startseva and Romanova. If both of them doesn't want to play for your team, you have to sign a foreign setter.
As a setter in the Russian volleyball system you don't have to be technical the best. If you can give a well played ball and especially when they are out of system, there are strong hitters to finish it off.
I think Dijkema could do that job, because she always had a good connection with Plak. Take Zivkovic as example, she isn't the best setter but she is doing a good job in Kaliningrad!
-
Again a rumor that Dynamo Moscow wants Dijkema, just as last year....
-
agree with you. They were great in WCH 2018 as well.
The first time I watched Sloetjes was in 2012 Olympics Qualifiers in Ankara. She was very good in attack already. After that she struggled with injuries If I’m not mistaken so I lost track of her for a few years.
I also remember an interview of her a few years ago posted here most probably by you. She said she loves playing volleyball and will be playing all of her life, she also made some jokes by saying “as long as I don’t have to receive, I will play”. Sad to see she lost her ambition for volleyball. I hope she will take some time off and miss it and get back stronger more then ever. I really love watching her.She was very promising at young age, but indeed had lots of injuries. She had some knee problems and also a bad injury on her shoulder that she even tought her volleyball career would be over
I can't remember that interview, so I probably dind't post it😅 It's actually funny, she doesn't want te receive because she played as outside hitter for a while
Even at the WCH in 2014 she played as outside hitters, because Pietersen and Flier were the opposites.I think she still loves volleyball, but physically she has lots of problems and she doesn't want to be in pain for the rest of her life.
I agree with you hoping that taking rest will help her and come back stronger, so she can finisch her career at WCH in her own counrty in a good way!

Guidetti. I said everything.
He indeed was very important, if not the biggest piece of the success they had.
-
Great highlight video of the match between the Netherlands and China in the poule phase of the Olympics in 2016. God how do I miss that, what a great team and in a good shape were they than
Sloëtjes being the best and most reliable opposite in the world at that moment. Dijkema playing consistent and finding her hitters in a good way.
Buijs in the shape of her life. Plak able to kill out of system balls with her #Plakpower.
De Kruijf and Beliën doing a tremendous job at the net.
Balkestein-Grothues very important in serve receive and defense. Not to mention Stam-Pilon who was so reliable! She even was able to receive with Plak and Buijs next to her. Also Schoot important from the bench to strengthen the defense.
Pietersen an all-round player who the team could rely on. And Steenbergen being a solid back-up for Beliën or de Kruijf.
-
I have no idea why on earth would Praia want to sign her.
Well she could be useful with a good receiver next to her, but you also need a decent back-up because she is unstable. Considering Fe Garay will stay, I dont think it's a god idea to sign her.
-
Buijs back to Brazil; Osasco or Praia clube? Could make sense considering her relationship with Carol.

Il Bisonte Firenze-->Coach Mencarelli, Cambi and Guerra
Interesting, because they were also negotiating with Dijkema for a new contract. I don't think either of them wants to sit on the bench
