what about Akimoto? she looked quite promising in youth tournaments.

I dont think there are much differences.
I think Turkish NT can beat any Turkish team.
You could easily say this for every country, except maybe Italy but ı think Velasco's italy play better than Conegliano
Yes Mılano have same players but coaching really matters.
The top clubs have better players and higher ceilings, but the NTs have better coaches and the players know each other better. They play more motivated.

Yeah sure fire the only coach who made Italy finally get an Olympic gold🙄
It seems he has the balls to say no to drama queens of Italian nt. This team has always been with some drama anyways. I think last Olympics roster was the only time all deserved players were included without exclusion of any players for conflict reasons
ı was kidding.
as long as Velasco stays there, they will sit at the top.

Russia have the best pool of local players. when they will return to the competetions they can compete with Turkey and Italy if they change the foreign rule.

ı feel they will break Buse's contract.

One of my friends on Twitter started a survey for the season. He says more than 1,500 votes have been submitted so far. If you're interested:

Milano beat them last year in CL SF
but ı agree with your point. Even Gasparini said they copied what Vakıfbank did in the last years.

When you look at all the setters in the world, there are very few names that earn as much as Orro and Cansu. It is very difficult to find a setter that has earned that much, especially one who is not yet 30 years old.
People maybe dont know but Cansu have 4 CLs, and she was one of the best players of Vakıfbank in 3 of those cups.

Everyone's a fighter. You don't go pro if you're not a fighter.
Win what?
Cansu got Turkey nowhere during VNL and Olympics
Both are horrible in their own ways
Cansu was injured for most of the summer. She couldn't play at the beginning of the season and needed a lot of time to recover. However, by February she was completely healthy.
She had a heel spur and it was said that if she hadn't shown good progress, her career could have been over because of that injury.
-
Hande played more than half of the season injured. I get why she struggles a lot. Eczacıbaşı mismanaged her injury.
-
It would be a suicide ... Maybe they could take 5 to 10 ace each set ...
Both Ebrar and Lyy are not bad receivers. Wıth this starting6 they wont win anything but reception would not be a big problem.
-
Do you think Eczacibasi trying to transfer LYY is a sign that they will use Ebrar as the starting opp?
Ebrar will no longer be OPP.
Elif - Stysiak
Ebrar - LYY
Jack - Maglio
Simge
I assume their starting6 would look like this.
-
I think for the next season Göztepe will build a team to compete for top 10. They need time to build competitive team for top 6.
-
Well you also said Eczacıbaşı would win the league despite of having Ferhat as coach 🤣🤣 so it is not a great moment for you to say "I was right"
yeah they would win the league if they had faced Fenerbahçe. They fired Ferhat, lost Plummer and Boskovic is injured. How could I foresee this three? We are making our comments assuming that there will be no unsual things. Eczacıbaşı lost to Milano when Ferhat was there, but they won against Vakıfbank and Fenerbahçe.

Since you know volleyball well enough can you tell when exactly we will be proven wrong? Fenerbahce's most dominant look was when they were playing without Arina in the first half of the season , there is no room for both Arina and Ana Cristina because of the reception .
Fenerbahçe only looked good in the first 6-7 games of the season, they never looked good in the rest of the season, with or without Arina. Arina is not the main problem.
You dont have to wait to get how good she is. Look what she has done and the level she had reached in some important games. She only stuggle against Vakıfbank. Against rest of the big teams she usually plays well. She is 195 cm with long arms who has really good technique which can attack every ball with unsual athleticism. This is enough for her to label as top 5.
Btw, I also knew Fenerbahe would struggle against Vakıfbank but this forum did not think like that at that time too.
Fener wont win the league as long as Fenoglio stays. Eczacıbaşı is the favorite.
I am not even sure they can pass Vakifbank. they should have fired Fenoglio long ago.

For god shake. Five months before was the beggining of the season and as I wrote Markova had played only three matches...You said that she is Zhu without even seeing her play one derby. Now we are close to the end of the season and we have seen Markova numerous times against big opponents. Don't you think that this is different ? Really do not try to manipulate the conversation in order to make people believe what are you saying.
.
Dont act like she had only played 3 games in club volleyball. She also played for Muratpaşa and Novara. I said this at that time too.
she had somethnig close to %50 last season in Italy and Sultanlar Ligi. I am talking with an assumption that overall she kills %50 of her attacks rn.
-
Sorry guys but I think many users on this forum don't know volleyball well enough and make comments for very short periods of time. Most of you have bias.
As is often the case, in the long run you'll be proven wrong and Arina will change the minds of people on this site.

First of all Arina could never play for Imoco. They could never choose her because she is too slow to fit in their system.
Second do not pretend that Arina plays 4 season with Anna next to her. She spent her most time playing with Meliha as a duo and she is exactly the same either playing with Meliha nor with Anna. The comparison with Markova is also out of this world. Marina is much better in every aspect of the game. She is more flexible attacker, better receiver, blocker and defender. Also she carries her team with little support, she makes few errors and she is more stable and a leader in all important matches. Arina has to improve a lot in order to play in this level.
dude you were criticizing Markova 4-5 months ago and ı was saying no she is quite good
The fact that there are people here who compare Zhu with Markova is at least funny. At her prime Zhu was probably the best player who ever lived. Markova has played only three matches until today in a top club with mediorate performances
.
Mediocre? she is the best player of Vakıfbank. The player you call mediocre attacks with 51%, imagine how her prime would be like.
she is like Zhu type but it does not mean she will be good as much as Zhu. Both are 198 and very agile players. Markova can be called as the best offensive OH in the world.
-
She can't play in Imoco or Milano rn , the problem isn't only her reception but also her defense, her blocking could be improved too.All the players of Fener had the same coach.
ask this Lavarini and Santarelli lol
