I wonder which lucky team will get Serbia in their group. I think the fairest would be Serbia being in pool A but I i won't be surprised to see them dropping in the same group as Italy or Turkey
either way top 2 will go through anyway
Why fairest? They decided not to go full squad at the VNL knowing they would drop the ranks.
All the pool leaders (minus Thailand) can upset Serbia in a good day more some of the others.
Mediocre all throughout the tournament. If they gave it to her that would've been foul
So mediocre that she has the most digs per set in the whole torunamennt
This Chinese team is really great, I didn't expect to see that good team in this age category to be honest, the level of in-system play and all the spikers contributing was clearly head and shoulders ahead of anyone, I was actually the most impressed by Chinese setter (Zhang?), her touch and tempo were great for a 16yo. Looks like very strong generation for CHN and it's great to see.
Kudo was great as well from what I saw and I guess Tosini confirmed she's the most talented Italian OH in a while - so quite a lot to take away from this tournament, nice addition to the vball calendar.
It's not great. First Zhu, then LYY, now this girl Huang looks promising and Yang looks scary as hell. Not fair.
Just kidding, with Zhu retiring is awesome to see that new talents are emerging. I wanna see China regaining her rightful place as top 3 in the world.
Didn't you say Torres will get best libero?
Yes but if you read my post carefully you'll see that I knew she wouldn't get it bc Peru placed 6th and that most likely go to Semba.
No Huang is 🤡
Yeap 100%. Also theres no way Huang is only 193. Girl looks massive like 2m almost.
Huang is going to come back for the U19 and claim MVP there!
Nope. Tosini will. Haha
Individual awards mix up:
No. 10 Huang heard wrongly... she thought she won MVP. You know what, I think she deserved it more than Yang. Sure, Yang played played well in the final match, but Huang was outstanding throughout the tournament
I think she shouldve been best OH and Yang MVP and best OPP.
Also the best blocker of the tournament was a SETTER. My girl Manda 🇮🇹 🤯💅
they thought Huang got MVP and she walked up all smiling only to be told by the real MVP Yang to walk back
Well that twelve sounded very weirdly.
OH: Nakayama 🇯🇵 Tosini 🇮🇹
OPP: Yang 🇨🇳
S: Zhang 🇨🇳
L: Semba 🇯🇵
MB: Cheng 🇨🇳 Guerra 🇮🇹
MVP: Yang 🇨🇳
Huang was robbed. Sorry but Nakayama had no business there.
I was right with my dream team except for Nakayama.
Yang Shuming needs to play OP in CVL
Isnt she a Shanghai player? I see more potential in her than Tainara lol
well I hadn’t thought about it as OP v OP because Kudo is OH in my mind and elsewhere. Yang is clearly the beast
They will use what they player was declared as. And shes declared as an OPP. Just like when Sheilla was registered as an OH during GP amd she got the best OH award when clearly she played OPP the whole torunament
Display MoreThe most important thing is that the Italian team doesn`t leave the podium of any international event in any age category. It doesn`t matter whether it`s the European Championship, the World Championship, etc. This year:
- gold in the European Championship U-22,
- silver in the European Championship U-20,
- bronze in the European Championship U-18,
- bronze in the World Championship U-17.
No team from Europe can boast such a series this year.
Also the Euro U18 was lost because the girls got too excited. They were 14-11 and thought they had in the bag. Belgium in the final was gift to Italy or Bulgaria.
Also considering that the setter for the u20 was new (still don't know what happened to Safa) and Lisa Esposito was missing them silver wasn't too bad.

True that is always good news. Let's see what happens next year. Tosini from the Chinese Tapei and sets 3-4 against Japan is the one I wanna always see.
I think Kudo deserves it but not Semba
Kudo will probably het it because is 3rd in best scorer and best out of the top 3 but Yang was the best spiker in terms of efficiency. Looks like a super good prospect.
Yang 20 attack points ...
... points attack 19 Kudo
Yang with 20/31 and 58% efficiency. Disgusting
My dream team:
OH: Huang Y.X (CHN) and Ludovica Tosini (ITA)
OPP: Yang S.M (CHN)
S: Zhang Z.X (CHN)
L: Torres (PER)
MB: Guerra (ITA) & Chen X.H (CHN)
MVP: Yang S.M. (CHN)
But given that Japan places second maybe the OPP award will go to Kudo and and libero to Semba.
This u17 team is actually pretty good 👀
Only lost 1 set to Turkey. Wish the final would've been against Italy.
Yang S.M. is having a party with that Japanese block.
So except for the middles, this is the Chinese team we will see next year at the U19?
We might as well just give them the gold straight away.
