Is is momii that erratic?? And what about Miyashita has she gone downhill ever since? I thought she was Manabe's favorite.
Manabe brought Momii that one time with them last year never used her on the court. If she was his favorite we wouldn't even be seeing Seki right now
I didn't watch the Asian Championships so I don't know how she did there. That was the only time NEC's Kaneko gave her a shot.
Does Manabe has a history of removing players? I think Shinnabe was still playing quite well when they suddenly got removed from the Nat'l team. Otherwise, I think most of the removed/icing out players (ie Ebata having injuries, maybe not Koga's 2016 Oly removal) were very reasonable
Things were different back then since the team was able to qualify, had very popular players that surpassed the 2012 crew and didn't have all sorts of identity crisis. Manabe cut Ohtake, Zayasu? Hisamitsu's old setter I can't remember her name right now but she led Hisamitsu's golden era as their main setter.
I've read quite a few articles about their OQT prep but nowhere does it state that Mayu and Sarina had any sort of agreement that one will support x while the other handles x. Like when Koga stated that she accepts the responsibility of supporting Kurogo's responsibility to lead the team. There are very few articles about Mayu and her answers to interviews are always vague. I wanna challenge myself, I wanna win, it's always about her hopes and never really about her involvement or role within the team. It's a little suspicious. But only one thing is crystal clear, she gets along with Hayashi the most.
She's been detached ever since Manabe took over
Yes, its more of making sure they win enough games before week 3 and not get big upsets from lower ranked teams (ie THA, CAN, FRA and GER) in VNL.
That's do-able
well seki was the one responsible for irisawa and araki's greasy attacks
I dare yall to rewatch it and you'll cringe by just how horrible irisawa was. And I mean Araki struggled so bad with them seal arms
I thought Nishimura is the best receiver in japan. Better than Shinabe
Girl no. Who told you that
What if Zhu Ting comes back Japan is doomed
If japan loses are there any chance to qualify for the Olympics? Is it close to impossible to catch up with china in points?
Depending on their results at next year's VNL
Manabe needs to face reality that the more he holds back Mayu the more they risk so many more losses. Stop milking Koga for crying out loud. That's not what people came for.
maybe her injury is more serious.
Her condition looks good though
What even is the point of Airi if he only uses whichever extra enters during the latest training camp.
Manabe's system is starting to annoy me and I was not questioning his overshit system before any of this. Why does he keep holding back Mayu and bringing her in during gthe most inconvenient of times.
i meant to ask this before but who exactly is cheering because it's definitely not the dead crowd waving those popsicles where's it coming from????
popsicles lmao
Mayu being the ace
M
And it happened. I think its clear that Seki has confidence issues. Her sets get rather close when she feels pressure.
and it gets lower and lower and lower and lower and lower and lower
No Mayu No Win
Have you guys read KVB remark on JPN. Interesting take on JPN's endgame.
What did he say?
japan upsetting brazil in this 2nd set pls don't let this lead slip
Is Mayu still injured? this is unacceptable
