    Ivan Knezevic confirmed that OSSRB is in talks with several coaches and that it will be in their focus in next few days.
    He also indirectly confirmed that they are certain they want next coach to be Serbian and they’re moving in that direction :whistle:

    I dont get why Kuzeyboru signed Buket if they are going to play with Gamze. A team like Zeren could use Buket

    Fully agree.

    Local players are a great asset for any team, you want to have as many good locals as you can. Some people said before that 3 foreign rule gives space to locals and helps them develope and there is no need for +1 foreigner, this is a great example against that. If teams had one more space for foreigner then they wouldn’t need as many locals as they do now so Vakif wouldn’t need local OH ever and Derya could’ve been free to play in mid club and not be bench player for years just in case Vakif ever needs to fit someone else and play local OH. Similar story is with Buket as any teams wants all good locals they can get no matter if they sit on bench.

    This does the exact opposite of helping Turkish players imo.

    oh no but it’s a big part of it. She has to adjust to every ball Naz sets on good passes because sometimes it’s high and off the net or sometimes low and fast. Tijana is playing badly in general but Naz is just tragic setting her and honestly tragic at setting anyone on the team today. The only player who has been good is Yaprak

    No reason to overthink it, Tijana is bad today, Naz is bad, Hande is bad.. whole Ecza is really unmotivated and bad.

    Dąbrowska is awful, she’s not even close to be decent. I feel like all wing-spikers have OOS balls all the time.

    All I’m saying is that she was okay in that 2nd set, that’s all I watched from her ever :)

    I mean she wasn’t the main reason they choked and lost that set :white:

    From 20-16 to 21-25.. Doesn’t Chemik have any OH to bring in, that no17 girl was giving negative pass after negative.

    I tuned in 2nd set to possibly see Baic, but apart from double touch in begining Dabrowska was decent enough

    That's the main problem. She indeed is very creative and she will be great in the future, but she is a member of a team which tries to avoid relegation. They don't have the luxury of trying to play some combinations. And Baić is trying to be another Maja or something. Like really, she enters the court as double sub and... tries weird one-hand sets.

    The other thing is the fact that she didn't find the right connection with the players. Let's give her some time.

    Totally agree, even in U NT with players she wasn’t familiar with she tried to play too creative, she is trying really super hard to be Maja. She has some very advanced skills and is super talented imho (I’m really believe in her) but she lacks some basics in the first place like high balls in OOS and precise sets. Her sets would be really good on unformed block if players knew to expect such playstyle, but she doesn’t know how to adapt to players really well.. at least that is my take from watching her in Serbian league and NT, I didn’t watch any of her games in Chemik so far.
    All of that could get better with time and her getting to know her teammates and vice versa, but I really wish she would stop trying to be Maja and worked on some basics, she is 19yo there is time to upgrade your level step by step there isn’t place for skipping.

    she’s very raw, not for this level yet

    She has amazing technique but that’s about it even for standards of Serbian league. Very raw and still unable to adapt to players in quick time. She was good in club with players she had connection with, but with new players and NT season she struggled to find right pace for team’s offense to work.
    Some redeeming qualities are that in time she might form a connection with MBs and OHs, she doesn’t have good placement of sets but she can play fast and is very creative.

    If Chemik had better setter and another decent MB...

    but I like the fact that they fight for every ball. Also, they made so many serve errors in first set. Probably, they should work on that, because it will be really important agaist teams like Mogilno, Kalisz, Mielec

    Is Baic not playing or is she not performing good so far?

    According to merdiansport and one of the most invested volleyball reporters in Serbia, Terzic has agreed to return to Serbian NT. Apparently contract will be for longer period (I assume until LA28)

    News isn’t official but as volleySrb posted picture Terzic was present at biggest match of 1st round of Serbian Superleague.

    I'd like to know some of Sentenza_69 impression about Firenze. It's just the opening day of Serie A1, but they beat Vallefoglia (who might play for the same objectives) and the few times I've seen them play they didn't look bad at all. Any chances to keep in touch with Chieri?

    Vallefoglia was better team overall for most of the match imo, they just choked 1st set so badly with 24-21 lead. Maybe I’m biased I watched only for Perovic and her Seria A debute :lol:

    I dont know how you feel but i like this hall Beşiktaş playing in. No taraflex but still i like the atmosphere.

    3pt shooting line is kinda ruining the feeling but it’s the beautiful hall. It has more theatrical feel then, perhaps it’s because all the others look similar.


    Broadcasting quality for this match on the other hand is shameful, I don’t know if it’s Besiktas or TVF fault but this shouldn’t happen on such high level:sos:

    she’s playing so well. I wish she would play with this aggressiveness in attack on a good club team.

    Her performance was never the problem even in Vakif last year, she had amazing games even as top scorer, it’s just her consistency.. It would be better in Aras probably cause expectations are much lower and you don’t need to be as consistent as in team that is expected to win every game.
