"It has been decided that the NT members of Saga and JT are already training with Manabe hence they can't waste their time congrats saga the end"
understandable

I remember the last time someone posted about his little speech he said he wants to level with the men's team right.
So going by that he wants a female Ran. A tall, young, talented white-passing heartthrob that appeals to tweens.

It is great to see the international support around the world for Ukraine. I wonder why people didn't bother when USA invaded other countries like Iraq and Afghanistan.
Not saying to justify Russia's terrible actions but I hate hypocricy of western world. They can take totally different stands depending on who makes the evil actions. Reactions change drastically if it is Russia or USA or China
Very different circumstances. There's no easy way to explain it but neither are comparable.
Post 9/11:
The US claimed the intent was to remove "a regime that developed and used weapons of mass destruction, that harbored and supported terrorists, committed outrageous human rights abuses and defied the just demands of the United Nations and the world".

Takeshita attended a business deal event for Victorina and she revealed that Manabe has met with some players since November (apparently before Empress Cup) according to this Victorina fan his account is private atm, he opens and closes it for some reason.
Have any of you seen anything regarding the players he might be eyeing?

I can't find the stream for the Allstars Fan Festa or whatever it's called on VTV's website

I don't think he'd be a good fit for Hisamitsu. He was also struggling with FCT's strategy awhile back.
They should avoid looking in the men's division for possible coaches and start looking for coaches that actually understand and want to develop the women's team. One of the highschool coaches from the Fuji TV feature said that the current volleyball is primarily from a male point of view so the strategy also relies on brute strength, high jumps and Haikyu-esque tempo etc which is unrealistic if applied to most female teams. Toyota is a prime example of having more than 5 male ex-players involved and still be that bad.
The Cubans especially during Mireya Luis peak already perfected that ~Haikyu freak whacking, freak jumping style to a T and so did Saga at some point during Nakada's reign. But that is a whole NT right there with Mireya Luis being a one-of-a-kind monster machine. Saga doesn't have a freak-whacker like Nagaoka or a defense master like Shinnabe in fact they don't even have someone close enough to match Ishii's tenacity. While it is entirely possible, it won't be effective at all without the right players and they risk injuring/ruining 50% of their roster.

Saori, Takeshita and Sakoda said ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The fact that noone followed this

-
Idk why but I'm not happy with JT's loss. If Okayama beats NEC this is going to be a weird day

I think whoever said the best HS teams are better than the best Uni teams was right
Hasn't it always been like that? Seems most uni students until now with Ran's peak never really planned on going further that's probably why they just reach a certain level of contentment at what they do compared to highschoolers.
I kinda wanna see them fight each other more than them vs "vleaguers"

very strange to be in the philippines since they don't have a team in the VNL.
The biased guy who runs volleyballword's social media is from the Philippines. He appeared in Ci Michel's behind the scenes video during the recent VNL.

Plot twist Kurogo appears as a referee and all the 3 formed teams battle BCS including Klaric
Bringing Miyashita and Nagaoka together is a historical feat that not even JVA could do. I hope we see them gossiping at the very least.

Denso came so close in that first set. I hope they take the rest

On March 30, a send-off party for Masayoshi Manabe, 58, who has been appointed as the coach of the Japanese women's volleyball team, was held in Himeji City, Hyogo Prefecture, for the media.
Manabe will return to the NT for the first time in five years since the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, set his sights on finding a star player, saying, "I will search for and nurture the second Saori Kimura." Mr. Manabe, who led Japan to a bronze medal at the London 2012 Olympics, said, "Time is short this time (with the postponement of the Tokyo Olympics). First, we have to win the qualifying round," he said, as he set about rebuilding the team.
Here goes the pitiful "Second Saori Kimura" cycle. I get the sentiment behind it but he needs to understand why it's problematic and creates toxic pressure to compare anyone to Saori or any other notable players for that matter.
You don't see Russians saying Arina is the next Gamova... She's free to grow as herself not confined to be like another player.

I think she is still a foreigner, but we don't know if having been high-schooled in Japan erases that issue
Does Okayama treat their Chinese player as a foreigner? Didn't she also go to HS in Japan?
