What a game, that game reminded me of why I like Vakifbank and the game itself.
Well, there is a reason why Vakifbank was in final 4 in last eleven years and won 6 championship. And still either Vakifbank wins the title or the team that beats Vakifbank. Is there any team that has that consistency!
The championship will go through VB as like the last 10 years. If I am not mistaken and if you look at the history for the last 10 years, it tells us that either VB became the champion or the team that beat the VB. That is what I call a consistency, where VB has and other teams does not.
people mocked me when I first said this🙄 of course they won't be serving like Arina/Vargas level but their new transfers Ebrar, Meliha, Stysiak (possibly Czyrnianska) are good servers so they can put pressure on the opponent with good serve and solid block
Assuming when it's needed and when Plummer or Karakurt playing on back court, they could substitute one of them with Meliha and Meliha has a good defense and better then Hande. So they should be Ok.
And who is gone play which position ?!
Are they gone try with Plummer/Ebrar duo my God
Meliha ones again bench player and She is literally the best domestic OH. For sure Ebrar is not coming back as back up players. All this news and structure of team is mess as hell.
They will have 0 defence with Stysiak/Plummer and Ebrar.
Wow you said, 0, ZERO, Cero, Sifir, Null, or perhaps they say “Nula” in Croatian. I don’t know what you do for a leaving, but it looks like precision is not your forte. Even with a limited amount of logic, you have to admit, they would still have some kind of defense capabilities.

I liked these transfers, next year it is going to be more fun to watch
for sure, they will struggle 1-2 years but you know Eczacıbşı won CL in 2015 without Boskovic?
You probably don't know, but Eczacıbaşı is the team with the most League championships in Turkey (28),They won the league for 17 consecutive years...
they never won any of those thanks to Boskovic.
It is not that easy to replace a player like Boss and because of her they stayed relatively good for all these years. But yeah, it may take couple of years to get back to a same level as before, because Ezacibasi is a big and glamours company, and most likely they are here to stay. As history tells us, any team including Imoco has a higher chance of becoming an irrelevant team and it has a higher percentage of fluctuation. I am not sure where Imoco gets their money from, I read something about from a vine company which somewhat dubious to me to get all those money from a vine company along, but where ever is coming from there is a very high percentage of drying out way before Ezacibasi for sure. However, Ezacibasi first they need to get rid of Ferhat and that may be already is done, then find a very good manager along with a good coach.
I mean Polish NT is playing great and our girls who play this season in Turkiye are bringing it so it makes sense for more teams to look into our league
That is a very smart move and it is going to help Polish NT in a big way. Serbia doesn’t have one of the strongest leagues but they have a very good strategy and lots of Serbian players play in Italy and Turkish league. This will also help any players playing for the Turkish league, when the league gets more stronger, the quality of the league improves obviously. It is a vin vin situation for everyone.
Wow if this is true, if Boss is coming to VB, then VB is back in business in big time. A team like VB is always play for the top spot and they are always relative, but to be honest this year we have no chance of wining any cup. I hope we’ll get one of the best receiving OH and one more MB next to Zehra. Zehra is physically the strongest player VB has and I hope she stays and I think she is staying, but Derya is too inconsistent. New and improved VB is loading!!!
Display MoreGunes can't compare to Rasic.
Zhu was just crowned the Olympics MVP when she joined.
The other OH were also Olympians.
(Although yes they don't have the Fener trio as opponents before).
Zhu was stacked with fellow Olympians on top of their game.
Meanwhile, Markova came from... NCAA. and her team wasn't even in the Big 4 (top4). She didn't play in the finals and the top of NCAA.
She's doing well for her age and experience. Why are we comparing them. There's ZERO point of comparison.
This Markova vs Zhu comparison is been going on for some time, maybe because of they have the same body type and playing style. It is true that Zhu has more accolades but also keep in mind that the game has changed. In these days women volleyball become faster, more physical, much more power when they attacking, etc. As like any other sports, as time goes on it improves

markova was so good today WTF are you talking about???
Zhu had Gözde, Hill and Kelsey as defensive OHs.
Lonneke was one of top3 Opp itw at that time.
Gizem was much better than Ayça.
And ofc there was Rasic, who is one of best MB in the history.
I am confused on what you wrote. As you just indicated Zhu had all those helpers while she was playing and Markova does not, and yet you are also expecting Markova to win the game by herself while all opponent defense dialed on her. Looks like you are arguing against yourself.
nobody says markova is prime zhu. You just comment to follow your agenda of promoting seria A superiority. Should we drop by in the seria a forum to compare haak and antrapova with vargas whenever they have an off game? You are so consistent with being obsessed with sultans league. It lives rent free in your head
I am almost certain, if and big if, Imoco management can keep up with their current commitment of being a top level team for the next 5 or 6 years, we will see Markova will be playing for Imoco
I didn’t watch the game but as I said before you have to push Imoco to play an out of system ball game, otherwise they are too good of a team and most likely they will win.
Now I hope people realise that Markova is not near Zhu peak in Vakif. Zhu won everything with Vakif, She was a true leader, with almost the same structure of team.
She had nice back up with Sloetjes sames as Van Ryk in attack but She is the one who take all the lead. That is something Markova still can’t do. And Zhu was already doing at her age.
Yeah, but back then FB didn’t have Arina, Ana C, and Vargas type players playing at the same time as well. I still like and take Markova over Zhu. You can go with the past, I am going with the current and the future!!
Poor Markova.. Vakif's faith has sealed... And this is Guidetti's fault. I judged Sila before but when I saw that Cansu follows the exact same system in setting then I understood that it is Guidetti's instructions... When the setter has been instructed to do not trust and set both the MB's, and the second OH then they remain only two players. Van Ryk who is unstable and makes tones of errors when she takes a lot of difficult balls and Markova. The game style of playing with Markova and whatever will happen will happen, is stupid and leads straight in to the failure. Guidetti has to work and trust everyone in the team. Is impossible to happen otherwise. What's the point of having Derya on court when you do not give her sets to score? She took only one unspikeable set in the first set, and Cansu tried to avoid her at any cost. Finally she took all the trash sets and failed. There is not worst way to "castrate'' a player. It is like saying to her: You are useless but you are on court because there is not any other option... Also to put Gune's as a captain is a decision which has literally no sense.
I don’t think its Gui’s fault. There is only so much a coach can do. Players has to take some responsibility as well. For instance, KVR just disappears part of the game, Derya starts playing uncontrollably, Cansu doesn’t use middles and that causes opponent to set a better defense. Gui tried to make some changes but there is also the rule of how many foreign players can he put on the court.
She's just not this level, at least right now. Poor receiving and defence makes it few chances for attack. If Vakifbank were keeping Meliha and Orge, things would be quite different.
For me Derya has a very good attacking capabilities, but she is not consistent, and when you look at her body language, she is always pissed at something. I like players who plays with a chip on their shoulder, but it has to be a controlled anger. Meliha plays with much more controlled, she is less likely to be rattled during the game
Good rallies, good defense but we can’t kill the ball. That’s a recipe for losing. FB has so many good attackers that we just can’t keep up with them, only chance for us to play a perfect team volleyball and we didn't do that today
I like Derya but so often she plays out of control. Maybe she needs a strength training to get batter controlling her body
Well of course Sherlock that’s why we need a super star to keep us in the game. It’s a long game if some of your players are not playing well and if you can’t score also then there is no chance
Second set looked disaster for us. We just don’t have that one player who could carry the team when things are going bad. I hope Boskovic will except VB’s offer. We need her or some one like her to compete at the very top level
For VB I really like Markova. When VB plays under control and as a team they could win. For FB looks like Asli is playing terrible, Korneluk’s transfer is going to pay such a dividend for FB in the feature.
