I dony know if someone has already shared this reel, but I really like it and I would like to maybe re shared it. These are some words from Paula Pequeno after the difficult loss Brazil suffered against Italy.

I will try my best, cuz it has been a while I dont practice my Portuguese, but she said this :

"I want to speak to all the volleyball fans and everyone who follows us. Don't be so cruel, don't be so heartless. Many have no idea what it's like inside, what people are facing, it's very difficult. Especially for such a young girl. Brazil already did the same thing with Mari in 2004. (The other commentator asks: Are we going to create a new Mari?) Paula responds: No, we're not, because we're going to shield her from now on, from now on. People should be more educated, show compassion during this time, since she (Julia B) has a lot of volleyball to show. She has evolved absurdly; remember that against France she had a very good performance, scoring 17 points. For me, it's very clear: Brazil already did it with Mari, and now we're not going to allow them to do the same to Julia B, not at all; let her get stronger; she has a promising future. Bergmann, we're here from the booth to defend you and cheer for you."

Personally, I do love her words, Paula has been such a fresh air in the comments, but here, I found her so human, humble and empathic. Especially cuz she is being accountable and knows how some of her own connationals could be (and are). As someone said before, now social network is much much worse than in 2004, when Mari was practically lynched when she was 19 yo.

tbf, Brazil has been unlucky in recent years. Last year, Kudiess' injury. This year, AC's injury could have affected the overall result. Players like Kudiess and AC are capable of changing the outcome of the match. It's a kinda sad every year they lost their main player due to injury before big tournament stars. I know Bergman was Brazil's weakest link vs Italy, but lets not forget Roberta also missed two serves at crucial moments of the sets and otoh, her sets weren't precise at times. I wish Brazil can keep all its players healthy for the next wch and Olympic games

Stanislava never miss

Quote from bobaas

It was Agnieszka Michlic (3rd referee during final match). Not Simić.

after seeing this, I would've given the MVP award to Agnieszka Michlic the best moment of the tournament

Helena's MVP thing aside, now waiting for copra coming back from the ban and criticizing Italy

I watched the replay and here are my thoughts ( it might be a bit long, sorry😝). In the 1st set, the serves played a big role in Brazil's success. Btw, I've also seen Serbia use such tactical serves, targeting Sylla in VNL. In the 2nd set, Brazil couldnt maintain the same service pressure and started making unforced errors. And I also realized that if you don't serve well, you almost have no chance against current Italy. MDG will be missed huge time, she is everywhere on the court. Sylla's contribution to Italy's victory is undeniable. Having two top-level OPP makes Italy's job easier, otoh. What caught my attention the most about Brazil was Roberta coming off the bench and making a serve error twice at the most crucial moment of the sets. Bergman wasn't good either. Otoh, Gabi was a true leader for Brazil. Rosamaria had improved a lot compared to VNL. Kudiess aka cuteness, was a beast on block, contributing 9 block pts, a great prospect. These were my first impressions, sorry if I forgot anything because it's night here and I'm sleepy rn Overall, it was a great head-to-head match, aka an early final. I want to see such an enjoyable match in the 3rd and final tomorrow

Speaking of Brenda, these foot saves are impressive

Quote from fire_cai_bin

does he sing as well as sladjana

THE only thing I can say for sure is that he is setting better than Mirkovic

Quote from Cofi

Terzic and Dangubic played setters for a practise, I mean how worse can Katarina be compared to Mikrovic

now it's time for Ze to practice as OPP, 4th OPP is on the way

Zoran puts an end to the best setter topic as if he's reading a forum somewhere

Damaske is that b*tch she literally changed the game

Ivanovic is very good offensively

Czechia is the biggest surprise for me so far They have a bright future ahead if they keep playing like this

One positive thing about Akbas is that the MBs are starting to contribute more offensively for Japan this year. If my memory serves me right, last year Japan lost all their matches against Poland with Manabe. Congratulations, I can say that I missed this smart and great play of Japan

Quote from bobaas

I watched most of them too. And I don't agree. If she wouldn't be good enough for this role Santarelli would not insist on it. Another thing is that she didn't play as OH from the beginning, she switched to OH and after few years she is used as a backrow sub in a one of the best or the best team in the world.

don't waste your breath

I wasted my time watching this match

Quote from i. Anka

but we must admit level of other two dropped whilst fener got stronger as its wonderkids bloemed. I remember vakif had kelseys, zhus, gabis, haaks, in form zehras whilst ecza had larssons, kyks of the volleyball world.

Eczacibasi's roster won't be bad when Plummer joins the team imo, they can do much better but a better coach is needed. With Ferhat, the sky seems limited to me and no matter which player you bring to the team

I don't know what everyone thinks but Scandicci's transfer policy doesn't seem very smart to me so far

please Zeren, do what Galatasaray did to Vakifbank. I want Zeren to win

As a neutral and unbiased person, I want to write this. Fivb should really stop the nationalization process now because it makes the sport less attractive and interesting. National teams aren't clubs and should not be. Everything shouldn't be so easy and primitive imho. It's my objective opinion whether you like it or not.

The players who have surprised me in a good way so far are Rosamaria, Gong and Drews. They are contributing more to their teams in offense than I expected so far in this tournament

I watched the replay and imho, cutting Milenkovic was a smart move by Gui last year. I'm pretty much okay with Drca being given a chance when Ognjenovic isn't that good, but unnecessary double subs that never worked and the Milenkovic move has left a bad taste so far. If Gui doesn't make such strange choices in the next matches, there is great hope that Serbia will find their rhythm and play better imo.
