We should ask you if Ferhat enjoys a two libero system
I don't think there's been any announcement, or if Ferhat has even met Fukudome yet
Shit, I genuinely forget that Ferhat will be the head coach of Japan, no he doesn't unfortunately. So RIP

I really don’t understand from where Israel took so many points with such average song. I don’t believe these are from Israel politics supporters. Somethings fishy here…
Definitely rigged! Her song on Spotify is listened the list among top 10, there's no way she get so much points on televoting, some countries are asking Ebu to double check their voting results since they are also shocked

Display MoreI think this will be the VNL squad
OPP: Wada - Airi - Nonaka
OH: Ishikawa - Akimoto - Sato - Kitamado
S: Seki - Iwasaki
MB: Yamada - Araki - Hamamatsu
L: Kojima - Fukudome
Japan has two top notch liberos, will coach use two libero system or will pick one and stick with her as main libero?
-
You guys were making such a big fuss about tica, what happened?
-
Zeren will be.... Novara is one of the best teams in the world in the best championship in the world and the only team that manage to win and pressure Imoco....
About Voronkova I agree with you and that's was my point. I said that Russia will not play with 4 offensive OH, so they will apparently peak Marina and Arina and two more balanced players like Kapustina and Voronkova ( Parubets could be perfect but if I remember right she will retire).
Parubets gave a break to volleyball, I think she is trying to get a baby

I hope that in next years we will not take a part in this sh**
We are all the time robbed by jury, like this years spain and other few countries. Justyna made the best show this years. Her voice is incredible, also dancers and everything around them. I don`t saying that she should win, but for sure 14th place is to far...
I totally agree with Turkyie, which also decide to not participate in this funny "song contest"
Turkey's reasons were different though. They complained certain countries voting for each other all the time which is stupid because turkey always benefited from that thanks to Turkish migrants living all over Europe
For me it was a shit show already because they allowed Israël to participate while they are doing a genocide in front of all world. Hypocrisy of Europe never disappoints! EBU says Israeli broadcaster is a different entity than Israeli government while that singer's whole promotion campaign was financially sponsored by Israeli government itself🤦 televoting seems to be rigged by the way, Israël get somehow so many 10 points from countries who publicly were against their participation (like Ireland)

I do not think that any coach could prefer Lazareva. First of all Tolok plays in a team of the highest level and second she is much younger than Anna and with more potential. As an OH she will not have a chance because apparently it is impossible to play with 4 offensive players. It would be Markova, Arina, Voronkova and Kapustina ( if she is in the same level as she was before her pregnancy).
What highest level? She plays for 4th club in Italy and Lazareva will play for Zeren who is going to be 4th/5th club in Turkey. So there's no such a big difference as you exaggerate, like always you do🤦
By the way, Voronkova is not an offensive Oh like Markova or Arina, if anything she is a more balance Oh.
-
Indeed, super excited for her development. I hope she wont have any injuries.
Hopefully we will get a good opp coming, after Ebrar, there are not many options (I'm not very hopeful about Defne basyolcu)
-
It would be better in the long run if Tolok steadies playing opp both in NT and Novara
Lazareva is on fire and if akimova also recovers this season, they don't need her as Opp but they also have Arina and Markova as OH so it would be a competition for her whichever position she chooses
-
I don't think this is possible at such a large scale. I haven't seen an Allstar like this for any other commercial sport.
The idea of an allstar is more for money and media exposure. It would also mean that sponsors need huge names for them to invest in in order to approve of something like this. For example in NBA their Allstars are letting celebrities like Bieber and Messi join a team with LeBron vs Curry.
It doesn't need to be a separate event. To me it could be opening game of WCh, just to promote friendship and sportsmanship throughout the tournament. It could be a nice kick off to a tournament and engaging with audience.

Display MoreThe biggest fight for spot would be again in CEV team since there are so many strong NT. the other continents like Norcea and CSV are relativly easy for Spot.
Team Norcea would be like:
Poulter-Perez
Ogbogu-Rettke-White-Gonzales
Gaila Gonzales-Van Ryk
Cook-Gray-Plummer-Martinez
Castillo-Orantes
I would replace maglio with white, Brie with Perez. And maybe skinner with Plummer.
Which Gonzalez do you mean? I would also peak jineiry Martine as 4th MB
-
Inspired by Winrip s idea. What would be rosters for a hypothetical continental world championship? And who would win it?
Assuming all active players would accept playing in their confederations, I think ranking would be:
- CEV
- NORCECA
- AVC
- CSV
- CAVB
My CEV roster would be:
Maja-Wolosz
Haak-Egonu
Markova-Arina-Sylla-Uzelac
Fahr-Danesi-Zehra-Korneluk
De gennaro-Gelin
Coach: Santarelli
What would be your confederation teams?
-
Such a nice event, it was great seeing all these stars playing together. Thanks for sharing the link!
I would love to see this as a yearly event. It could be even a great idea as kickoff game of WCh just to create a friendly environment between opponent players. Probably there would be a drama on who to invite since both cev and fivb suck at picking all star teams so it should be decided by retired legendary players like KYK 😜 I trust them more than cev/fivb
-
It would be also fun seeing Continental teams playing against each other like Team Europe vs Team Asia
But in this case team north and south America could be mainly from USA and Brazil 
Some Dominican aND Canadian players would definitely make it to North America team but yeah south America team would have been fully Brazilian NT
-
giovannini makes sense. she's a better passer (or at least just as good) than Cate at this point (both with woeful offense though)
Yeah I agree on that but when he said he will invest in young players I thought he will bring in new players, all these 3 were already in main roster so he isn't introducing someone new to the team
-
Velasco didn't invite bosetti because he said he wants to give chance to younger players at Oh position and now he cut piva and keep degradi, Omoruyi and Giovannini

Yesterday was press day! https://www.volleybal.nl/nieuw…-nieuwe-olympische-cyclus
"Britt Bongaerts, Eline Timmerman, Nova Marring, Marrit Jasper and Celeste Plak will not start the VNL due to different reasons (varying from rest, injuries or other choices)". Looks like Marrit and Britt will get some well-deserved rest after being a starter in their long seasons, Nova and Eline will be the ones taking time to recover I assume. Celeste is my question mark but tbh I'm happy we'll be testing new OPPs.
The main focus of this summer will be the VNL week in Apeldoorn and WCH, for the other VNL weeks we can expect to see some new fresh faces. van Aalen, Dambrink, Baijens, Daalderop and Knollema will have to lead the new young girls. Mainly excited to see how the new batch of MBs will perform on the world stage
Basically only starter missing will be Timmerman right? Assuming Lohuis is done with NT?

Display MoreVoronkova always messed up the reception during big matches, from TL, CWC to CL forcing Ferhat to sub her out for Gray who couldn't pass either but could at least kill. There was even a time Ferhat yelled at her.
Best receiver of the league? Fedorovtseva was the one of the best receivers of the league this season too and that says so much about stats. Like what's the point of being 'the best' at something when you always mess up during big matches. Stats are not everything, they don't show the whole picture.
https://x.com/Nathi_OVC/status…wWUQcEcUnwz1lDE5a6xg&s=19
About talent fee, I was just assuming, I literally said 'probably', especially considering that Gray was just a backup player in her previous team while Voronkova is like a star player from Russia. Lbr Voronkova is a bigger name and Russians don't usually go out of Russia (at that time at least) + Turkish people really wanted her come which made me think that she's more expensive.
I don't know where your link get that ranking but it is not correct. Federation's stats show that best 5 receiving outside hitters of the season were:
- Hande
- Meliha
- Kurilo
- Ilkin
- Bergmann
This quite makes sense.
Also I disagree that she messed up at big matches, she did her job mostly with solid reception but struggling killing the balls time to time, but not at all big matches like you exaggerate. Anyways it sounds like we will have agree to disagree
-
As far as Mehmet know, she can play for turkish NT
No thanks, she would be more useful for Serbian NT 🥰 you guys need someone in the absence of queen Busa
-
Nah, she underperformed. Defense was there (some matches) but the attacking was decent and the reception was weak. Ferhat always subbed her out during big matches due to that. She's also probably more expensive than Gray. Not so practical to keep her.
All above is wrong , lol 😂 she was one of the best receivers of the league, her attacking was the problem at certain matches, and she is not as expensive as gray who had a fat contract to come to Eczacıbaşı
