Although it is a bit too early, I like to spin some ideas (for VNL) here to stir up unhappiness:
No. 1 the most important thing for the NT is to have a competent coach, imho, pretty much anyone out there should be better than Buzato (technically speaking, B is not really a coach)
S: Vetrova, Startseva,Filishtinskaia, Kobzar
OP: Goncharova, Lazareva, Akimova, Kodochkina, Antropova (if she wants to play for team Russia)
MB: Fetisova, Lazarenko, Koroleva, Pushina, Brovkina, Suvorova, Fitisova
OH: Fedorovtseva, Voronkova, Parubets, smirnova, Gatina, Chernova, Pipunyrova
L: Malova, Zaitseva, Pilipenko
Setter's line is a little weak, and all other lines I believe are pretty decent.
Imho, we'll see Kadochkina as the 4th OH. She's playing OH this season and so far she's doing good. Of course, the new coach should also test her as Opp, since Goncharova and Lazareva aren't that reliable.
About setters, I think the coach will call Romanova instead of Vetrova, and I don't think Kobzar is ready for this level yet. Mishagina from Krasnodar is doing a good job this season and is young... she might be called

anyone remember Polina Shemanova? I'm pretty sure she played in the Russian youth teams
She plays in the NCAA right now... She's one of the best passers in the USA right now and can hold her own offensively. I hope she goes pro/back to Russia.
The only other one I can think of that went to Russia recently was Elizaveta Lukianova... but from stats I saw... we might not want to talk about that
I remember her! She played in U18/U20 categories and was pretty decent. I think she now plays in Syracuse, but I don't follow her
. Is there any link? BTW, I follow Balyko... I think it's her last year in the NCAA. -
Wasn't able to start the match. Has Semyshev played at all?
He was on the first set.
-
He’s playing in 2nd set
Yeah, but he seems kinda out of shape
.BTW, the whole Moscow team is failing a lot of services
-
Do we know why Sokolov is absent?
He always gets injured in important matches

Can't remember the last time Russia had a bunch of good/great OHs at once: Arina is showing she is the next-big-thing, Voronkova is possibly in her best physical shape so far, and Parubets is slowly regaining back to form. Heck I think for the first time in a long time, the Opp is the problematic position as Goncha has been so streaky so far in her club performances, but I think playing in NT brings out the best/passion in her. If they play their cards right, Russia has good chances for all tournaments they will be competing next year, but of course WCH is the main prize.
Russia has also Kadochkina as the 4th OH! and yeah, it's amazing the plenty of options they have (considering Smirnova as 5th, Kuznetsova 6th, etc). As for the Opposite, Goncharova could be good as a sub (for her experience), but it's time to test other options: Lazareva (she's an average player, but inspired could be useful), Akimova (she's new and has potential), Antropova (if she wants to ofc).

Anyway, who is that kid libero for Kazan? He seems to be really good. Is he NT material? And he is quite tall for a libero.
Yeah, he's NT material and I hope he'll be there next year.

Planned action or mistake?
What do You think?
"We were arguing about your discount in the game with Lokomotiv. Did you throw the ball over the block on purpose?
I would very much like to say that I did this on purpose, but it was completely unintentional. I was just lucky, but a point is a point. If any of the binders can do these kinds of discounts, that's pretty cool. In fact, if Drazen Luburic had not jumped simultaneously with Artem Volvich, he would have hammered the ball into our half of the court. So I'm just lucky."

Kazan setters
Pls, Startseva, come back! -
Is that Inessa Korkmaz on Kazan’s bench?
Yeah

Does Russia NT have a decent coach now? Cuz the potential is huge
Sadly, Buzato is still the coach of Russian NT and yeah, the potential is huge.
