Two articles about Knip and her return to the NT. She doesn't go in deep detail about what happened last summer. But it's once again more than clear that appointing Selinger was the biggest mistake that the federation could have done. Already feel sorry for the girls in Japan that have to work with him and his pathetic personality. And the other staff members don't go free either

Tbh I feel like Selinger and his whole coaching team are the biggest reason why many of those veteran (Belien, De Kruijf & Grothues) leave the team before WCH that being held at home. As I remember they were being excited and some originally plan to end their NT career after that.

Hopefully Koslowski could bring a new energy and positive atmosphere for the team.

Any rumor about where Linda Nwakalor will play next season? (I know she was rumor to Firenze before but seems like is not happening... She could be a good pick for any team that needs local middle)

Quote from serdar

Do you think it is because they were not happy with his performance or another club broke her contract? He didn't have the best results in Italy last couple of years

Novara renew his contract for this upcoming season few months ago so I am guessing another club broke his contract seems more likely

Apparently Novara may change coach?

Bernardi arrive while Lavarini leaving (Fener perhaps?)

Well it is official now Lavarini is leaving...

Quote from Let's go orange

Pitty ten Brinke doesn't get a chance on the middle blocker position. Stuut isn't is IMO...

I would like to see Brokking getting a chance in another week instead of Reesink!

On Instagram I saw Dijkema will be the new captain. Logical choise looking at her experience, but I don't think she deserves a spot in NT anymore. In club season both van Aalen en Bongaerts clearly outplayed her.

From the Instagram story seems like most of the players within the 30 players list are still training within the team so probably we can expected quite a number of change for week 2 & 3

Probably one of the youngest 14 players squad next week among all the teams also? 10 players born after 2000

Quote from VolleyOrange

OH/OPP is gonna be problematic I think. Especially since we need to win as much as possible for world ranking

Absolutely agree, I think H.Jasper has to start for the needs of defence and reception, but I expect there will be quite a few rotation on the starting line up next week.

Week 1:

OH/OPP: H.Jasper, Knollema, De Haan, Vos, Mulder, Dambrink, Marring

MB: Baijens, Stuut, Timmerman

S: Van Aalen, Dijkema

L: Knip, Reesink

(I didn't separate OH and OPP as I think some of the players can play in both positions)

Quote from Genius of the Sky

This Vibo withdrawal… so Ram Takahashi will not play in Italy next season?

Ran was supposed to join Monza if I remember correctly.

Quote from voulter

Eh i wouldn't take this as an indication of Squarcini staying, probably they just put it up and haven't checked it correctly yet? There's more than some player leaving that's still listed on the team they played in this season

Yup you probably right just take this as an reference I guess

Can take this as a reference

(The predicted starting line up from volleynews is a mess for some of the team)

Quote from crovolley

I hope She is not, because Lubian and Fahr is better MB duo and Imoco should invest them and not to force them to leave. Robin is ready to for retirement and this two youngest are future of Imoco.

Huh? I don't see how Robin playing as Italian will affect Lubian and Fahr in Imoco especially in long term. This just allow the coaches to be more flexible in tactical rotation, Robin probably also know her role in the team now is different from before.

Ana Beatriz (Bia) to Roma?

Gray is playing incredible now Probably her best performance whole season

Quote from Sentenza_69

Il Bisonte Firenze will formalize the signing of Alessia Mazzaro in the next few hours...

Local middle search continue for Scandicci then

Quote from Rhaemon

i always wondered why even if the arena is sold out there's always empty seats around. like entire rows or columns. i always thought they'll fill all the seats

There are always tickets saved or holded for sponsors or guests. Therefore not all of the seats are available for ticket sales, usually when a row or small columns is unfilled you can suspect those are sponsors reserved.

Annick Meijers (OH/OPP), Helena Kok (OH) and Marije Ten Brinke (MB) are added to the VNL roster.

I think she just found it very pleasant and comfortable to stay in Conegliano. Good team dynamics, winning trophies, connection with fans and staff... Different factors combine makes her stay despite some bigger offer in recent years eg. Eczacibasi in 2019 if I remember correctly.

https://www.volleynews.it/casa…-smarzek-cagnin-e-avenia/

If I understand correctly, Casalmaggiore want to sign Smarzek as OH and keeping Dimitrova as OPP?

Cagnin to Casalmaggiore

Piva to Busto Arsizio

Also mentioned Butler to Osasco?
