Is there a roster already?

There's no way Mazzanti is budging. In the event that they do change coaches in time for Olympics, no one can guarantee that it'll be an upgrade in fact things could go from bad to worse especially if you have to force it in such a short span of time

Well this is also the first time he tried to make inoue happen but she's so bad that people don't even know that she's an outside hitter
so just drop her -
What is that? that actually looks crazy
university games in chengdu

bygone era. this generation is the bygone era. guarantee no one knows inoue but everyone knows nagaoka. you can say that once inoue actually does something relevant

This year is probably their worse VNL to date even with the whole Kurogo mess that happened during pandemic this year still takes the cake
Lineup is too erratic. It's great that Wada and Fukudome are a revelation but was it really felt by the rest of the world with just how inconsistent they've been so far.
-
No but can they bring back Shibata please who keeps vouching for Seki
-
Female commentator tonight was annoying af. The only players she knew were Mayu and Koga
Seki was disappointing as usual. What the heck happened to her not getting to serve...
-
the problem is manabe has other plans. mayu and koga are not that kind of duo. there's no way koga has no say in manabe's lineup, just as ishikawa had a say in yanagida's exclusion. she is captain after all. koga is especially very vocal about what needs to change it's evident in that "all 4 _______" cam that jva releases after every leg. you should watch it if you haven't seen it already so you get what i'm talking about.
Link to that all 4 whom?
-
well said.
it also didn't help that nakada forced her to be kurogo's support so this time around she probably doesn't want to be in that position again and be mayu's support
But Koga and Mayu playing together doesn't automatically make Koga a side character unlike during Nakada's time where it's more important that Kurogo does the bare minimum while the rest covers her. It was made very clear that she was given the task to lead this team and she can do exactly that with Mayu. So what's the problem?
-
Isn't it ironic that every time they have a big match against a top team Koga isn't the one saving them instead it's Mayu? I don't have anything against Koga, I'm not criticizing her as the captain idc about that stuff but you can't convince me that it's thanks to her that this team is able to hold it's head up. She's not about that KIM or Zhu or Saori life that Manabe is making her out to be.
But as many of you already pointed out, it doesn't make sense for Manabe to separate her from Mayu. If they played together more often especially against more difficult opponents their chances could be a lot better than the 2-3/3-2s we're seeing.
Wada is still an npc. I refuse to get too attached to NPCs after what happened to Kojima.

OT but rehabilitation coaches are the volleyball industry's biggest pimps.
Fairy godfathers?

Height: historical
Experience: American
This is funny now but most of us will be begging for Irisawa if she flopped
-
What if they brought along all 22 girls
That would destroy their budget. JVA wouldn't allow that
-
how do you know?
Before VNL started Fuji TV had a #dayoff feature of Irisawa now they're featuring Shibata so I'm guessing she's coming. Last year Fuji TV was not heavily involved with them women's team but since Olympics is next year they have lots of mini features on the way.
-
I think Shibata is with them
-
i think they should leave Irisawa, nishikawa and tanaka behind. god nishikawa flopped big time doing a minor role why
-
completely unphased with her dead eyes
lmao i wasnt sure whether you were mocking her or not but she does look very calm for someone so new at it
