Przybyłkowicz*. She is OPP material but there is still long way to go. She is still 14, tall (189 cm) and left handed. She needs to work on her physicality. She is quite slow and without power. Let's wait and see how she will develop in the future.

I agree that Derczyńska should play with Wika as OH. With them our reception looks better. I don't know why Orlik doesn't even try Lange as OPP. He wants her to be OH so bad that he is trying everyone but her as OPP while it was Lange who played as OPP until last year... I mean, it is okay to change her position, she can make it happen but when Czerwonka was out from WCH (he planned her as main OPP of the team), it was obvious that we will need someone to replace her. Przybyłkowicz is ready to play only in front row, as double substitution. Majchrowicz is short and not solution. I don't get it. Orlik's decisions very often are questionable.

Karsznia is better server, blocker and left-handed. The issue is her setting. She is like Łazowska 2.0.

I could not find much information about Przybylkowicz. I thought she’s 16. If she’s 14 then in all makes sense. As for now she’s visibly weaker than others, especially physically.

Czerwonka would be such an upgrade here. I think we could easily achieve a medal here.

The Polish coach needs to realize that Przybyłkiewicz is not OPP material. Lange should move back to OPP (only for this tournament), with Derczyńska playing as OH. I am not a fan of Jucha. Karsznia has a higher ceiling in my opinion and she’s taller.

How does the draw work after the group stage?

Maja looking at Cajic and Uzelac and being like “Busa and Busa”

where is Milenković when you need her

Mina Popovic??? I forgot about her

Quote from Madden54

I love Ivanovic as much as anyone could on this forum and still think she has all the technical skills to be truly great and Giovanni is the perfect coach to revive her but like she’s nowhere near ready to start for vakifbank and Helena isn’t good either. With Dangubic out they have to sign an experienced OH to play next to marina if they want to do well this season in a very stacked field. Markovic is great but they need something from that other spot. Katerina was really playing well the end of last season too

I agree, Helena flopped when it mattered. Dangubic and Derya had bigger impact.

I am surprised Vakifbank got another OPP instead of OH.

Quote from elysus

Nawrocki era was really something… Remember after he flopped coaching our NT then he got a contract in Chemik? lmao

We broke free because he went to Chemik. He flopped everywhere he played and they eventually lost patience with him. What we have right now is a paradise.

Quote from VolleyNewsRadek

Wołosz herself chose to give up playing for the national team in favour of playing for her club (money).

She played for the national team back when the squad was guaranteed to succeed and when things went her way (otherwise, there were complaints to the PZPS President, strikes and letters of protest). Today, she’s such a moraliser…🤷‍♂️

She’s missed her chance to keep quiet

WHEN OUR SQUAD WAS GUARANTEED TO SUCCEED???? Especially, under polish coaches?????

Quote from VolleyNewsRadek

Joanna Wołosz on the players who refused to play for Lavarini’s national team:

“I think they’re starting to get a bit too big for their boots… For me, respect for the national team shirt, for the fans and their emotions, is what matters most.”

Let’s recall Wołosz’s own behaviour during Jacek Nawrocki’s tenure:

• 2019 – one of the leaders of the rebellion, co-initiator of a letter setting out allegations against the coach

• Following the failed Olympic qualifiers: “I don’t want to play for the national team under coach Nawrocki. If I came back, I’d be a massive hypocrite”

• 2018 and 2021 – withdrawals from the national team (including skipping the European Championships)

Respect for the shirt and the fans… does it depend on who’s sitting on the

Wołosz has been playing for the national team since 2010. Twelve out of the fourteen players wanted Nawrocki gone and for good reason.

What are you trying to achieve with your post? I honestly don’t know a single player who was more loyal to the national team than her and Efimienko throughout the last decade.

All the players who declined the invitation hadn’t even spent half as many years in the national team as Wołosz had.

Macris thinks that Jurczyk plays instead of Diana/Luzia or what?

did Zehra cry?

Vargas 69% in second set

Cansu was far better than Elif to me.

Quote from runnerupster

Idk why Santa always ignores her at the end stages of the tournament when she literally plays better than İlkin and Hande...

She is way worse in defense and that is the difference. For now Vargas is the issue for Turkey. (As for her standards)

Quote from jaeden85

Thank God KISY didn't choke the set point.

Yeah, I would have never set her in such moment.

Quote from KVB

It wasn’t surprised that Japan lost to Brazil, it was just rather disappointing at how they bad played, even when Brazil was far from good either except their OHs.

Even worse for the Japanese that their starting OHs will have big chance to be both sitting on the bench in the coming club season. Ishikawa might still have some chances of playing if Karakurt isn’t fit yet, but Sato I’m pretty sure she will be just like how Pietrini did in the last season.

I am disappointed too. In addition, Brazil was without Gabi and Julia. If they couldn’t use this opportunity then they really didn’t deserve it.

Sato in general is way worse than last season.

Quote from VolleyNewsRadek

Just like last season??

We don’t know all the line-ups yet.

A team on paper isn’t the same as a team on the pitch

It’s a prediction. How else are we supposed to predict who the favorites are if not based on their squad? The league hasn’t even started yet, so we obviously can’t judge them by what they’ve shown on the pitch.

Quote from jaeden85

I think Lorrayna just came back after giving birth?

I think Tiffany is also an OH, right?

Quote from jaeden85

Mari Brambilla to Osasco

do you know who will play for Osasco? Is there any topic for Brazilian league?

What’s really bothering me, when it comes to MBs is that we could give more chances to Kecher and Dróżdż. It could pay off as with Koput.

Quote from occansey

Koput looked solid to me. What do you think is the ceiling for her? With Korneluk retired, looks like a good prospect to fill the gap.

She’s the 5th blocker of the VNL. I think she’s cemented her spot on the national team. Unfortunately, I was a bit disappointed with Obiała in the final week of the VNL.

I think Pierzchała and Koput are locked in for the future, while the remaining middle blocker spots are still up for grabs.

I think adding Pierzchała, Łukasik, Czyrnianska, Gryka we can be definitely more competitive and I hope we will able to see these girls next year fully recovered.
