Quote from Bogdan

She mentioned that she had learned something from all her coaches so far, including, in recent years, some extremely poor ones—from whom she learned above all how not to coach.

I wish Jovana will talk into more details on this topic in the future. She is one of the very few players who was coached by Terzic, Guidetti and Jenny Lang Ping. All three are some of the best coaches in recent volleyball history, but with very different styles. She must be able to give some unique and interesting insights if she is willing to talk about it.

The ex Kazan golden trio, Leon, Anderson & Mikhaylov all win the title in the league they play this season! It’s even more incredible that they are all still playing at very high level after nearly 10 years they were playing together and won everything in Kazan.

Paperoga Thanks for the great recap for this season!

You should be the one watched the most Ishikawa in live action among all users here, what do you think why he struggled in Perugia? What parts of his game do you think he did the worst this season while he excelled in the past? To me his struggling in passing was the most unexpected. However I didn’t watch as much Superlega games this season as I was used to, so my impression might not be the real picture. You must be able to provide better insight

Quote from killua

“Pietrini, Chirichella, Bonifacio and Lubian have all declined”

“The Azzurri jersey is not a club, it is special,” Velasco adds.

”I understand their motivations, I accept and respect them. Nobody should think they can decide every year whether or not to come to the national team. For me the door is almost closed. A no is always a no. It is one thing to say: I have a problem and as soon as I solve it I am there but It's another thing to say: I'm taking the summer off.”

Very well said but otoh it’s also very cruel on players, considering the club season is so long and tiring while the NT summer is so compact and there’s only very little time for rest in between.

Not THAT surprised to see Bosio’s name missing again. It’s pretty obvious it is Velasco’s preference, just the same as he removed Bosio from the team and brought Cambi in last summer. What we don’t know is the reason behind is rather only a tactical choice or personal conflicts (But It just seemed that Bosio wasn’t that welcome by both her two most recent coaches, both Velasco in NT & Bernardi in Novara? Maybe not just a coincidence?😆)

Is Bosetti the first OG gold medal team starter being dumped by the head coach but not by the player’s own desire to rest or retire right in the next summer ? LoL

Quote from crovolley

A.Skinner and Cate Bosetti are Scandicci OH duo next season.

They probably need Mingardi to play as OH for another season if she stays, as Bosetti is just a ghost rn.

Cev posted this on IG, the whole team of Imoco was in the pic but just without Zhu. The comment section went crazy and accused them for racial discrimination. After an hour they still haven’t done any amendment. I don’t think it’s intentional but it’s just so dumb.

Quote from volleySrb

Not funny at all, this is just prove how skinny club competition is.

Or it proved how good this trio really is.

Haak another CL MVP in her pocket

Guidetti won the best coach this time probably many players played in this Final 4 were in Vakif lmao

Best MBs: one didn’t play in final and another one with 0/13 on this weekend lmao

What kind of best team it is… By fans vote or anything? How come Lubian is there when she played so little…

Finally Zhu wins another CL trophy!! After so many setback and difficulties in recent years

Some years ago I saw someone photoshopped this pic, I thought and hope it would happen as soon as Zhu was recovered and returned to Vakif, but it never happened and Haak also left. I never thought this trio would really be in the same team again before this season and make this PS pic become real, just in another jersey.
Thank you so much Imoco for bringing these 3 my favourite players in recent years together. I know not many of you like Imoco for different reasons (myself included in the past), but they really made one of my vb dream come true this season.

Quote from Genius of the Sky

This second coming of Zhu... Scandicci should be thanked for last season.

Zhu perfectly shows what means by if you can’t beat them, join them

Quote from VBdiamond

What has Plummer to do with this?

Also Plummer never had so low passing stats, but people here always acted like she was tragic. Despite she used to receive 40+ services any game.

2021-22: 36,2% perfect

2022-23: 33,6% perfect

2023-24: 32,5% perfect

Whatever, I don’t care. She IS tragic for the whole season while Zhu will win another trophy.

Quote from VBdiamond

29/7%

So what? No one ever expects perfect reception from her, just like your beloved Plummer. The fact is she held her part, having just 1 error from 28 attempts, and scored the points she had to.

Quote from VBdiamond

Maybe Scandicci found a second voice in attack with Ruddins.

They just need to serve strong on Zhu and we will have a game.

Go on with your agenda, Zhu also received the most serves yesterday but she didn’t crack and scored the most

Herbots has been targeting Zhu to serve but Zhu handled really well

Quote from VBdiamond

Bajema is so useless.

She just shows the real her today lol
