But Maja can set fast balls too.

Well, it is Guidetti's dilemma after all. If he puts the club or natl team first. But he is coaching Vakifbank as a club so he needs to put the club as top priority. And having Haak in vakif is not entirely a bad transfer since she doesnt have natl team duties. Olympics is fast approaching and players need to avoid injuries as much as possible especially those who are gunning for Olympic medals.

She also played in the GP in 2016, mostly as a sub but she played a few matches.

I think this is the tournament i saw where she played.

Personally im not a fan of Parrochiale also. She wasnt really that impressive during VNL. However, Sirressi is not young also and De Gennaro, despite being older, is still a solid libero. Maybe Italy just want to train someone younger.

I remember Sirressi playing for the national team once and that was it. Cant seem to remember what tournament and date it was.

Gabi looks so different with her hair down and wearing a different jersey

And im not sure if Lucia Bosseti started as Opp but she a good OH for sure.

Brayelin Martinez right? Not sure if she started as Opp though.

Santarelli is the coach of Imoco am i correct? Isnt he like Karch who employs a certain system to a team? But he is definitely a good coach.

I mean even Zhu Ting used her last name in her Vakifbank jersey. And we all know how humble of a player she is. It doesnt make any sense.

I think its alright for them to play in this tournament. They barely even played during world cup anyways.

It is wild-card galore. Novara, Conegliano, Vakifbank and Eczacibasi will take part of it + 2 Brazilian (Praia and Minas) + 2 Chinese (Tianjin and Guangdong Evergrande)

And about Guidetti knowing how to stop Zhu.. Is it even possible to stop her?

Thank you. I havent been following the world club championship news very closely

Other teams might not shut down Zhu completely. However, Zhu in Tianjin is different than Zhu in NT. She will not be playing along side Ding Xia, Yan Ni, Yuan Xinyue, et al. The coach is not Lang Ping. So the overall dynamics is different. And Tianjin is arguably weaker than the Chinese NT.

But I do agree with u guys. Cannot wait to watch the games

Minas is considerably weaker without Gabi and Natalia. Same goes for Praia. It would be a fiercer battle between Italian, Turkish and Chinese clubs.

Did Foecke play in those Bisonte Firenze matches?

Wait. Why is Vakifbank going to the club championships? Isnt it supposed to be Novara?

Guidetti knows Zhu very well. So he might already have a plan on how to stop her. However, if Ying ying and Destinee plays well also then Tianjin would be hard to stop.

People should let this Destinee issue rest. USA is transitioning into a younger generation with so much talent that Destinee is not the solution.

Even when Karch leaves the team, I feel she would not be invited any longer.

Foecke is going to play in Italy this season.

I really hope Thompson makes it to Tokyo and play overseas right after. But if she cant make it this quad, and if she continues to improve, she would definitely make it to Paris 2024.

Not a fan of Amanda but I do like her hair

Not really that impressed with Plummer. She is a bit sluggish and doesnt jump that high.
