Yes, I know. It how Fivb/Cev works. I was trying to talk about the decision is a bit fair or not. As I mentioned, I would prefer Netherlands. But it would be more weird Poland to host another olympic qualification 6 months later.
Poland won't spend so much money on women's volleyball. They won't even have the intention.
I don't know what the Netherlands thinks about the European qualification. The host definitely has some advantages. But it's not cheap.
Poland already host OQ this year, they shouldn't host European qualification too. I would prefer Netherlands to host.
Ps; Turkey hasn't host major FIVB tournament yet. China/Japan host everything, Netherlands will host WCH'22. Not so much complain about this decision.
European qualification belongs to CEV, not FIVB. Turkey is going to host the ECH finals this year. Of course people can complain.
The hosting spot is only about money. It has nothing to do with what tournament they have hosted or they are going to host.
They need to get the hosting spot for the European qualification tournament. Otherwise, it will be extremely difficult for them to qualify.
I miss Guidetti too. The way he developed Debby Stam to amazing libero and Pietersen to important OH at 2016 Olympics is admirable.
Who has gotten better under Morrison?
Nobody
I hope the Netherlands could change their head coach as soon as possible!!!!!!!
Italy are in serious trouble if they go into the qualifications like this
Well, they were all on vacation before the finals. I think they started training in China.
I don't think this will happen before OGQT.
Reception and Malinov's performance are crucial to Italy. However, both are poor today.
I am not Zimmermann‘s biggest Fan either but, regarding yesterday and to his defence i have to state, that he has played now almost every match since the start of the tournament, hopping from continent to continent week by week. He Even was the only setter who travelled to brasil. Yesterday, like the whole Team, he faltered after the lost second set and physical and mental exhaustion was visible.
At this point you can start to question the overall roster management, having players (Kaliberda, Karlitzek, Kampa) who for whatever reasons are Not ready to play but occupy places in the roster.
I would say Giani has to take some responsibilities on some of the losing matches. Sometimes he made some strange moves during the match. Like the last match against Bulgaria, he took Fromm off court in set 3. When Fromm got back on court in set 4, he couldn't perform the same level as in the first two sets.
According to DVV, Kampa didn't participate the in the first four-week competetion because he got a baby. That's understandble. Now he is back. Hope they will have better results this week.
Whole thing is intriguing for me. I'm waiting for some news
FIVB always gives fans some surprises 
Australia nad Portugal are missing as it’s unknown yet which country will be relegated.
If China already has their calendar, it means that FIVB already have it.
What I meant was that maybe they haven't decided to take part in which week.
Or are FIVB going to switch the core and chanllenge team?
The same as in Women's thread, but here Germany gave up with next edition. Interesting, does FIVB will impose a penalty for such team and exclude from VNL (relegate to challenger cup and challenger team status) in future edition.
I don't think they (GER in men's and KOR in women's) give up with the next edition. I think maybe the schedule hasn't decided yet.
Australia is also missing in the men's list.
Check out the setter stats in VNL 2019, Kobzar now ranks 15th, with a poor running sets/still sets ratio.
The statistics is not accurate. Also, a running set means the attacker faces no more than 1.5 blocks. Neither the number of running sets nor running sets/still sets ratio is a good way to evaluate if the setter is good or not.
It's better to evaluate the setter based on the overall performance in the matches.
I'm totally done with Zimmermann. He has proved that he doesn't have the level. Germany needs to search for a young setter with some more potential.
A good setter can really make a difference. Italy is just a good example in this year's VNL.
Szalpuk took his old number (7) and Kłos said, he did not have such money to buy it back
So now he has 77.
Interesting
When Russia gives a free ball to Germany, they can't even pick it up. How many chances have they wasted. 
Grbic himself was a great setter. But he seems not to be a good coach for setters.
Germany only has one setter in roster this week. It's all on Zimmermann.
Can a libero be the captain?
No. It's not allowed.
Sorry, I sounded rude, I didn't want to
No problem at all. 
I like her too even though I have been harsh on her
The good thing is that she hasn't been making so many service errors like in club season.
