I completely agree with Husky123 on this and my opinion will be more or less the same. I also think that Kobzar is not ready for this level yet. I also agree on this, Lazareva is not yet a reliable player, at least it is like this for me. That's why I think Akimova should be tested in VNL. Of course, I know that everyone has a different opinion and I respect it. But I don't think the comparison of Akimova and Malygina is fair enough. Akimova is a 19 years old girl and she has a long way to improve her skills. It is my opinion, Akimova is doing a good job this season even though both setters of Dinamo Metar are inconsistent.
I think Husky123 is right, we can see Kadochkina in the national team if the rumors about Terzič being the new coach of the Russian national team are true. It is because Terzič praised Kadochkina and Lazarenko in his interview before the game against Kazan ( in that interview, Terzič talked about other Russian players too and it seemed to me like he was analyzing Russian players individually). I have to agree on this too, after Veteova's arrival, Kazan started to play better but Vetrova is an old player and I'm not sure if she will accept to play in the national team again.
I think players like Goncharova, Voronkova, Malova, Koroleva need rest before World championship. Frankly, I want to see young players in VNL but at least I want one or two players with good reception to play in VNL because when the team is all about young players and the reception is weak, ofc this team can fail easily and then it would be pointless to participate in this tournament. Even if young players will play on VNL, I still want to see competitive team.
