Calm down, first Galatasaray needs to win second match against Fener to eliminate Ecz from CL.
Still if GS plays for 3rd spot with Eczacibasi they will probably win because Eczacibasi without Tijana is weaker than this Galatasaray.

Boskovic has strain in her left leg, no tear, but still she needs to rest. So no Plummer no Boskovic for Vakif match. They are 100% playing CEV cup next year, they can't win Vakif without Boskovic.
How many matches team needs to win to advance to the final?
Is there any specific reason why Yaprak plays OH1 and Plummer OH2?
Maybe so she can be lined up with setter as she is smaller player, to have more chances of not being blocked.
I won’t question why coach left Plummer in the game despite a terrible performance, but I don't understand why he didn’t try to substitute Elif for Naz, just to see what would happen then.
Regarding the situation why Eczacıbaşı struggled to win the set, at the end of set there is immense pressure on both Elif and Bošković. If Elif sets the ball to Yaprak or Plummer and they make a mistake or get blocked, people will naturally question why she didn’t set it to Tijana. Therefore, everyone knows the ball will go to Tijana as their best attacker, which means the block will be ready for her. This creates further pressure on Bošković and that's probably why she makes so many mistakes in crucial moments.
I'm curious about Hande's passing stats. Not blaiming her for anything. It's all on the coach: even a blind person would realize she's not fit for back row specialist task. Same mistake Ferhat used to do...
1st set-one serve receive (error)
2nd set-5 serve receives, 20% pos, 0% perf
3rd set-didn't enter set
I think Plummer's block has big threats to Van Ryk, and that is why she started.
Last time she blocked Vargas 4 times so they will rely on her blocking skills to stop Vargas too. However, I don't see her contributing to the team in attack or receive. Elif doesn't set her pipe at all, maybe they should try that too.
About Ecza really I do not know what to say about Plummer.... She is like a ghost... There is no reason to use her when she plays like this.
She ended with 0 WL. Hande should've enter game permanently, at least reception would be stable and they could use middles more.
Considering that Fenerbahçe has been building a team capable of winning the Champions League in recent years, I sincerely hope that they will achieve it next year, given the effort and money they are investing to create a team that can win such a competition.
Chiaka Ogbogu is back to Vakıfbank
https://voleybolunsesi.com/chiaka-ogbogu-ile-ikinci-bahar/
She really heard Boskovic-Vakıf and said sign me up lol
Can Meliha change her mind and go to Vakif instead🥲🥲she is probably best local in terms of defense and serve receive and that way Chiaka could play all the time
is this confirmed? i haven't seen any official account updating fenerbahce's withdrawal in hosting.
It's not official, but the voleybolmagazin published this story. The post states that the Final Four will be held in Istanbul, but Fenerbahçe no longer wants to be the host.
they should stop talking about the golden trio. come to think of it, they should just forget about that label. it promises a lot but delivering very little.
That is certainly on of their main problems, that's why they also tend to belittle their opponents.
Ok that’s kinda embarrassing and iconic for Fener lmao. Deciding to host the final4 because they were so sure they are going to be there only to flop in the quarterfinals and trying to get away from it <3333
That is very embarrasing from them and they should face the consenquences of their own actions and learn from mistakes in the future.
After Fenerbahçe experienced a disappointing loss in the quarterfinals, they decided not to bear the financial costs for the Final Four scheduled to take place in Istanbul. Vakifbank is now also reluctant to be host due to the way CEV announced the Final Four will be held in Istanbul. It was announced with video featuring only Eda Erdem, despite the fact that both Vakifbank and Eczacıbaşı are fighting for spot in Final Four.
Ecz could still win a Cup putting him out of the management though but seems like they are no better than Ferhat.
They have lost so many times that they simply don't know how to win. Or maybe, even before the match, they decide that they have no chance against a strong opponent, and then they can't win. And them winning World Championship last season is only because they knew that Vakifbank was a technically weaker team and that they had a chance against them. That is why they will not win anything this year too.
Was Gray not 100% healthy? Why wasn't she tried as OH today? Wasn't she one of the very few outstanding players last week?
Gray is Gray, you never know what you will get from her. And risking points in these kind of matches is not allowed. But considering how she played last match agains Milano and how usually she plays coming off the bench, she could have been a game changer in this case. I guess Ferhat doesn't really care if the team is successfull because he is leaving team anyway, so basically "If I am going down, you're going down with me" scenario is happening in his case, i guess.
Funniest thing is the fact that Fenerbahçe paid more than 1 million € to host Final Four in Istanbul in their own arena and yet they will not participate😂. They really jinxed themselves.
Sinead Jack x Kuzeyboru ( 3 Set )
16/20 %80h
6 blok, 8 touches
22 sayı, +20 WL
Yet Ferhat took her out of match against Milano after she blocked Danesi 2 times in a row in 1st set.
how many blocks did Hena have
6, but 2 very critical at the end of 5th set
“only” 10 😭
Pardon, 11🤣🤣
