But she is in Galatasaray this year.
A good local OH who can receive is always welcome. Hande needs to improve her reception. Once she gains more experiences, she may become another Gozde.

D and E look a bit tough. Imoco and Savino fight for the 1st in group D. Dinamo and Fenerbahce fight for the 1st of the group E.
But I think it's not a problem for all of them to advance to the next round.

Lube all-stars market may be an epic fail already.
The worst move was bringing 32 years old Bruninho for the 25 years old Christenson, which has been playing extremely well lately. I'm huge fan of Bruninho, but on the long run it doesn't make any sense.
I wouldn't blame Balaso: Grebennikov was the shadow of himself during his 2 years with Lube.
The reason why Lube replaced Micah with Bruno is the administration lost the patience. Lube had four round-ups last season, esp in CEV final. They could not nail it at 11:7 lead in set 5. That hurt a lot. They think they need to change. Maybe the change turns out to be even worse this season.

Display Moreits obvious that Kelsey's prospective performance will matter for Vakıf
that is the weak point of Vakıf at the same time..Tuğba-Derya will have to contribute as the substitutes of Kelsey so that Guidetti can utilize his other options
i stick to my opinion : Kübra-Zehra duo can get over the MB position..that Raşiç's not playing doesnt seem to be a vital problem to me
Zhu-Lonneke' offense is/will be essential against good teams
Cansu-Buket setter duo : Cansu will mainly do the job. Buket should definitely be/keep herself ready for the double subs. at least
Vakıf is a very experienced team. They can overcome their problems
Rasic's offense is not as good as before, but her blocking is still sharp. Both Kubra and Zahra move too slow on blocking.

Should Karch be blamed for having Kelsey play as libero for NT in WCH? As USA already had Larson, Hill and Bartsch as OHs (Bartsch can play as OP if needed), there is no spot for Kelsey to fit in attacking line. Just my 2 cents.
-
Finding a solid local OH is very important for Vakif. Only 3 foreigners are allowed on court at the same time in domestic games. Vakif will face more challenges in Turkish league than in CEV. It's too early to draw a conclusion though. If Sloetjes and Zhu are both on fire, Vakif is still a strong team that could beat any opponent. Vakif swept all the champions in last season. I feel they may lack motivations of doing better.

An easy win for Novara. They are very competitive this year, either in Italian league or CEV. Besides from Egnou, they have good OHs like Bartsch and Blak. Even veteran Piccinini could help reception sometimes.
-
Novara's jumping serve simply killed Scandicci.
-
18:11 blowout again.
-
Simply put, Wilferdo Leon demonstrated today that he is the best player in the world. Doesn't matter what league he plays in, the man dominates and has the ability to take over a game like no one else!
Leon has the best serve in Men's volley, solid and scary. Remember Leon's Ace nailed the match point in CEV 2018 final.
A lot of his aces hit right on the line. That's not the coincidence.
-
Based on this performance they can't compete with those teams but don't forget it's only the 2nd game of the season, it's normal to need some time to gel.
agreed. It takes time to build up chemistry. Maybe we could see the trend after half season.
-
When Scandicci got a chance to catch up, they just gave it away with a serve error. Then they end up giving Novara an easy direct kill at the set point. If this is Scandicci's normal performance, I am curious how they could compete with those strong teams in CEV.
-
Scandicci's reception is awful. They can not block either Egnou or Bartsch.
It seems the 2nd set is a blowout for Novara.
-
With the new roster and the chemistry, Lube looks not that strong as I thought. See how far they can go in CEV 2019.
-
Bruno did not find the rhythm with his OHs.
-
Attacking, blocking, serving...Perugia outplayed Lube in every way. Leon's scary serve is a nightmare for Lube. Even with Lanza's so-so performance, Perugia won the game easily.
-
I look forward to seeing that too
There has been so many Cansu fans comparing her with Naz, let's see if she can handle the pressure and showed something special as a starterBy the way, you guys are right that Naz doesn't have a valid contract with Vakıfbank. So it will be interesting to see where she will end up
Cansu needs to improve her setting. She's a young girl and has lots of potentials, but she also lacks experiences.
She's one of the reasons that Turkish NT played poorly in this WCH.
Turkey made the third place in ECH 2017 when NAZ was in charge.
-
I saw a photo of Naz practising setting at Vakif's court while she‘s already been pregnant with a big belly. It's about 2 months ago? I think Naz will still return to Vakif after maternity leave.
-
Ngapeth still has time to adapt and improve his game, and what are you talking about Maxim is playing well even in Position 4. But I agree with you Kazan will not be the clear favorite this year with the departure of Leon. And I think there is one more factor, Zenit updgraded their opp position and Grozer is playing like a monster
With Grozer and Camejo's combo, St. Petersburg may challenge Kazan in Russian league this season. The good thing for Kazan is both Maxim and Matt can play either OH or OP, so they can adjust roster if needed.

From today's match, we can see that Gozde was too important for Vakifbank, Kelsey clearly couldn't fill up her spot, at least offensively. And the other 2 OHs are even weaker, this is a huge problem for Vakifbank. With Kelsey playing, Rasic has to be benched(the best blocker in the world sitting on the bench, I'm so mad
), it affects their block significantly.Guidetti needs to solve this puzzle, not gonna be easy
Vakif needs a solid OH to support Zhu.
Kelsey, Ebrar or Tugba all have flaws. Kelsey is good at defense and reception, but no offsense. Tugba is weak on both offense and defense. Ebrar has no reception. Her attack is good, but not stable. She made many unforced errors too. It's not an easy season for Vakif.
