    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.

    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.

    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.
