Quote from Realista

Thank you!

So either there are some other regulations about replacement of injured players or FIPAV indeed got a special treatment as a host. Although I don't know if this is any valid in reality considering it says that 'it is limited to a maximum of 24 players, out of which 14 players will eventually participate in a match', considering that on CEV website Italy or Poland have +30 names submitted.

On the old CEV site there are 24 names squads. On this print it says that there is a possibility to change injured player but only by someone from long list. The replacement should be someone included before. Antropova couldn't be because she was not Italian.

This is ridiculous. How Antropova can be in the roster if she is not on any list send to CEV?

Quote from Realista

Because it seems that everyone in Italy is confident that she'll make it to the ECH.

Yeah, but on what basis? Just because she is officially Italian now? I doubt that they can add new player to the roster just because they can now and want to do it.

Quote from Realista

Italy won every set with Sylla-Pietrini duo, so I guess this will be a starting lineup - fortunate thing about expanded formula of ECH is that in group phase Mazzanti at some point can run experiments with Antropova without any consequences. Highly unlikely that Bosetti will be cut though.

Another time? Why are you talking about Antropova and ECH when she is not even in >30 names roster... Rules are rules. Just because she got citizenship now does not mean that she will play right away. She couldn't be because she was not Italian. Still don't know how she ended in wide roster for VNL...

Why are you all the time asking about Antropova? She is not in the roster for ECH. She will not play at ECH so what is the point of her playing in this friendly matches? Yeah, there won't be a lot of time after ECH to OQT but Italy was without most of the starting six during VNL so they need some time to adjust. Giving time to Antropova while she won't play at ECH doesn't make a lot sense.

Lukasik injured? Big blow for poland

She was rested in the last friendly match. But they said that it was just to give her some time. Maybe she has some problems but I think that it is nothing that will prevent her from going to ECH.

Quote from warrior1302

Lubo Ganev - president of our federation said that she was invited but she doesn't showed up on the camp of national team for VNL because she preffered to go to Korea draft. While according to federation Gergana Dimitrova asked to not be part of the team.

She was talking about ECH. I didn't know the story before VNL. So it is justified decision of Micelli. If she wasn't available from the beginning due to non-injury related issues then there shouldn't be place for someone like this in the team.

Quote from warrior1302

They both are not part of national team because they want that.

In interview at sportal.bg she said otherwise. Like it was Micelli's decision.

Quote from Jules

Gergana and nasya but mostly the mb

N. Dimitrova was not invited by Micelli. She said it in the interview.

Quote from Jules

youtube link?

The only MB that is in the wide roster is Nwakalor. This is shorter list. In the >30 names list there are Graziani, Cecconello and Sartori.

Quote from Ttom

it was looking for 4:0 but the reception in the fourth was really horrible..but Malwina looks far from her shape which was probably easy to predict

I would not judge her after this match. She played only 4th set and as OH. She didn't get a lot of balls. In 3rd set as OPP she was ok. Smarzek as OH is not it. If we really want to do it then it has to be Stysiak.

Quote from Gymnicus

If you mean with univerity the the Universiade, the Universiade has already started and after losing to China on the day of the game, they beat Argentina in the second game and qualified for the quarter-finals, leaving them with three games left. So the last game is either August 5th if you're not playing for medals, otherwise August 6th.

No, she is studying in USA. It starts in August.

Weske may start university soon or not? I don't know if she will be available.

Quote from MTS

I could not find them from Türkiye. would you mind posting some of them? thanks in advance

https://livetv.sx/enx/allupcomingsports/5/ here you can find links. I think that there should be links available on all of such streaming services.

Quote from hakin12

Poland and Turkey will play a friendly game today in a couple of hours. However, I am not aware of any streaming of the game atm.

Polsat Sport, 18.00 polish time. There is plenty of links to a stream online.

Does anyone have link to Volleystation competition page? Or know where to find links to events handled by them?

Quote from Realista

I wonder if there are any rules allowing a player not submitted to the wide ECH roster (Antropova) to play at the event for whatever reason: I guess you can just put her in place of an injured player (Fahr?), but it's interesting.

Doubt it. At first you submit a roster of >30 names. She was not there either. Later you need to narrow it to 25 names. There is no way Antropova will play at ECH.

Antropova isn't even in the wide roster for ECH. She won't play. Maybe OQT?

Quote from tunc

Is Centka injured? Polish fans have to know it better, but imo Centka is the best Polish blocker after Korneliuk.

Blocker? She is weak. Last season she scored less than Jurczyk and we all saw how many times Jurczyk was used by the opponent and that she had few points in block during VNL. Centka may have the highest ceiling offensively but block and serve are two aspects that she needs to improve.

I think that her absence in the camp is related to the fact that she didn't have chance to show what she is capable of to Lavarini. Imo, he likes to work with someone "tested". She was unlucky this year with her injury.
