That on practice Serbian langueg is the main because their is Croatian and Slovenian player. And they understand them self perfectly and that Girls from Balkan are always the most loudest everywhere.

Well God bless her, but Ana doesn't look like the most fashionable player out there.. maybe she should invest her money elsewhere

That was not my point. Veljkovic together with Antonijevic has been my favorite Serbian player since forever.. and I am really happy she's starting over Stevanovic. Also I might be one of the few who called Jovana out on never playing as exeptional for the NT as she was for Pomi (her club then). So actually I think Stefana's starting position is very much deserved

It is not asking permission. .....Just letting her know the reason of why he would start with Veljkovi. This way Stevanovic will know what she needs to improve on her game.

I agree. He should've explained that to her.. I remember reading Mc Cutcheon told Harmotto if she wants to make the roster in London she had to improve her serve.. so she did. When the practice was over she was practicing alone, improving her serve

Vakif lost their 3 main players, one of which is arguably the best player in the world. On top of that they have a new setter, 2 new 2 OHs, and super young OPP who should fill Slotjes' shoes who (is) has been on of the best OPPs in the world, these last few years. I don't think even their management expects them to win all cups. It's pretty natural to struggle, after all it is the start of the season.. they need more playing time together. They don't have to win every single game, as long as they win the important ones. Who expected Brazil to win the Olympics in 2012? Who expected Novara to win the CL 2019? So let's stay patient and believe the girls and Guidetti

I would like to know when did you see Yanelis Santos screaming into oponent´s face?

I think he meant Daymi Ramirez.. Santos never showed ANY emotion

Budapest taking Conegliano to 5.. whaaaaat

Can't they feed Chiaka to the win

Busapest having 4 set points against Conegliano

Kelsey is really doing a great job

Carli might not be in her life shape volleyball vise, but she's such a a great athlete. So quick, so strong, great jumper, looks really comfortable moving on court

Rachael Adams posted on her instagram videos of Foluke working out with a huuge baby bump. She said Foluke is due this month, and should give birthday any time. She has been working hard every day, so it seems like she's really motivated to make it to Tokyo.. way to go girl!! I wish her an easy delivery, a healthy baby, and a spot on that Tokyo roster in the best form so far

How was Cleger?

I think Chiaka made a mistake signing with Conegliano. She's for sure training with amazing players, but what she needs is playing time going into her second season with the NT, and more importantly the Olympics.

But Güldeniz is a great defender

She is. Not a great receiver tho

serdar wrote:

Definitely agree. Since Gabi is a short player everyone is assuming that she is a brilliant passer but she is not. I'm not saying that she is a bad passer but she is not the type of OH who would cover someone else

Exactly. Same goes for Guldeniz for example

I think since Vakifbank has Haak and good MBs, Gabi's main role is to receive and cover the court; which she has always does brilliantly.

Well to be completely honest, receiving and especially covering someone isn't one of Gabi's strengths. She may be an all around OHs, but for sure isn't a 'brilliant' passer

They need Roberta over Fabiola in terms of blocking, height, defense and her style being opposite from Macris

Well actually Fabiola is a pretty good blocker and she's only 1cm shorter than Roberta.

This can be partly true, but one does simply not get a lot of sets/points if they were not good enough. When someone gets so many sets it's actually only natural for the kill% to gradually go down in numbers. A player could be playing with 37% 33 kills, maybe another 20% of those resulted in free balls or the opponent left disorganized or something else. If someone is top 5 best scorer of the league though we can surely say they're doing something right/have been playing good. Kill% is not everything either, a player could be 70% but only played a couple matches as a sub.

Yeah, that's why when the best spiker is being chosen, they have the highest hitting %, but have to have a certain amount of attempts

Boskovic is craaaaazy.. Oh my god

Mihajlovic is a pretty bad blocker
