Weren't Ecza trying to get Wolosz? Did they just end up too late in the signing market that everyone was snatched up?

i have read about this rumor as well. When Ecz failed to get Wolosz, they tried Hancock.

Is there a replay between Novara and Scandicci game somewhere?

If you had to choose one for your team, would you want Vargas or Haak?

I would choose Haak. Its hard to explain but Vargas just has this unpolished spiking approach that somehow looks awkward and i think it affects her spiking.

Setting wise, I can say Maja is better than Naz. She just has that magic. She is so good at reading her opponents as evidenced by those dump balls and her hitters having single blockers. However, as an overall player, Naz is better because she has some intangibles. Naz is a better blocker (I consider her to be the best blocking setter), better server, and a better defender. Plus, Naz has good leadership skills. Sometimes, I feel like Maja just wants the spotlight to her self you know

Quote from Sisko95

She’s phenomenal but there’s still a question over whether she’s better than Egonu. Of course neither of them are anywhere near the top 10 male opposites but really there’s no point in comparing across genders, the physical differences make it like 2 different sports.

This is purely my observation. Egonu is a very physical player. What makes her a very effective player is her jumping ability, spike reach and power. She hits mostly over the block. I wouldnt say she has poor hitting technique but it definitely is not the best. She either hits hard or pushes the ball. However, her athleticism and endurance are just superior.

Boskovic on the other hand is like a taller version of Neslihan demir. Compared to Egonu, Boskovic has more variety when it comes to scoring. Sharp angles, unexpected tips, etc. And i think it is because she learned from Neslihan.

But still, I would choose ice queen Goncharova

Rykhliuk is amazing. She still maintains a high level at her age.

I remembered her when she's with Volero Zurich a few years ago. Volero can make trouble for Vafif in CEV tournament. At that time Valif was a powerhouse with Zhu Ting, Sloetjes, Hill, Naz and Gozde in the team.

ooohhh i remember this particular Volero team. So fun to watch. Foluke and Dobriana were on this team as well. I do think this was the last Volero team that was such a threat in CL.

Willow Johnson is so frustrating to watch

For an OH, Courtney has good defense. But as a libero, that level of defense is mediocre at best. She has really good passing skills though. Otoh, I really believe Larson could be an effective libero though. She has good defense, reception and overall ball control. She can even set OOS balls

Quote from akitoakie

maybe because the game has changed? Serves are getting tougher, sets are getting faster. I dunno. But one thing i can agree with you when i watch the videos from the 80s & 90s, the excitement is different. Like everyone is on a role.

who do you guys think are the players that are good at both? Like good OH who can receive & spike well or MB who can hit and block well?

Atm, I would say the OHs who can receive and spike well are Robinson, Gabi, Hill. That is exactly the reason why top clubs want them in their respective teams. For me, the MBs who can hit and block well are Eda, Zehra, Yuan Xinyue, Yan Ni, Koroleva.

I wonder if Vargas has a residence in Serbia. In some countries, it is a prerequisite that a person has to live in that particular country for several years.

Quote from zhutingfan

So you're saying she should be going to Italy or Turkey.... 😂

i think u misunderstood me Because if she is not able to play in the Chinese league, she has nowhere to go. Chinese league is a good league and I would hate it if she chooses to play in the American league which I dont think is very competitive

Quote from ossubtus

wouldn't it make more sense for vargas to become a turkish citizen ?

Afaik, Vargas is now officially naturalized as a Serbian Citizen

Quote from serdar

What's wrong with Mihajloviç? her attacking ratio is exactly same with Busa who attacked even more than her.

BUSA BIANKA: %36(53/148)

MIHAJLOVIC BRANKICA: %36(41/115)

She has a one-job: attacking

Maybe this is the reason Terzic wanted Vargas to be naturalized as a Serbian Citizen, to replace Mihajlovic in the future

Quote from bumpsetspike

I think it's too late, it'll be just the 4 of them which is unfortunate. I'm sure there was going to be more foreigners this season, but then came the rumor of playing without foreigners which changed some players minds about playing there. Really bad management of the league. They could've had the best list of foreigners compared to previous seasons if the transfers actually happened, Kosheleva, Dixon, Bjelica, and De La Cruz maybe.

Kosheleva seemed excited to return to China after a positive season last year. Hope she finds another option.

I seen that Sheilla commented on her post that she should join the American League. If that's her only option then why not, but maybe she can join another club later in the season, one that is more competitive then the American one and could probably pay more.

I wonder where would Dixon play now. She needs to play in a good league to up her chances for Tokyo.

Isnt Fetisova more like a blocker than a hitter?

American Express is not supported by LVFTV

I already installed a VPN but I still cannot watch the vid

I had such high expectations from THY. Although credits to Yesilyurt too coz they even give problems to top teams in the league.

Hello. Do i need a VPN in order to access LVFTV outside of Europe? I am from Asia.

That moment when Vargas is receiving better than Mihajlovic and does a perfect reception.
