Detalhes

Adenizia in its 3 seasons in Italy with more than 50% in the attack. Played with Rondon, a very bad setter. Carlini who does not play with the central.

Best blocker of the last editions. If it were American, would be considered the best in the world lol

Don't even go there. Bahar also had great attacking stats in Italy, and nobody says she's a great attacker. As I already said, she is a good blocker, no need for you to mention it again. Adenizia has had many opportunities to prove herself on the international scene, and never has

Her blocking is great but her attack is average imho. Yesterday she just couldn't kill any ball

I'm sorry for Stevanovic instead. She's a world class middle but she is in a terrible shape this season

I agree, Adenizia has always been a bad attacker. She has the power, but can't score regularly.

Ana vs Maja.. excited to see how this turns out

Any streams?

Poor Monique. She was one of the most consistent attackers in the Superliga. But since she has to receive, her efficiency dropped. Bringing Kosheleva to the team did more damage imo. I love her, but I gotta be real. I am not sure if SESC-RJ will be in the finals this year. That would have been a good wake up call to Bernadinho.

Wake up call for? Their team is much weaker than last years.. They've lost Natalia, Gabi, Carol.. Juiciely is not playing as good as she was in the past, Drusylla was injured, Kosheleva is coming back from an injury, so she's not the same as she has been in the past. Their budget is lower, so actually I don't see the problem. Considering all these things, and the fact that many other teams upgraded their teams compared to last seasons, Rio is doing as expected

With Ecv lineup, they ought to have good reception and so they shud have gotten an attacking MB like Veljovic, Akinradewo, Jack and the likes.

I agree, but I guess they having great attackers like Boskovic and Kim in their team

I agree, but I suppose they wanted a not so expensive player, just to upgrade their game for CL. Having Larson, Kim and Boskovic is a must for them, so in TL they'll play with Busra-Beyza 99% of the time..

I also think Conegliano have good chemistry together. Especially Wolocz, Fabris, Hill, De Gennaro who've played together for a long time.

Natasa Krsmanovic in Eczacibasi, oh wow! Are they really that unsatisfied with Gibby? Natasa has been off the scene for quite some time

Hooker having a good first set. Carol struggling with the placement and tempo of the sets. Claudinha was even worse. Kasia on the other side is struggling too, but she's trying hard

Thats not how that went down though : ) she said she wanted to leave Brazil, had a verbal agreement with Galatasaray and said she was coming to sign them afaik I'm flying there was even said. But then she suddenly and randomly ignored the team management and never came to sign, GS fans were disappointed by her behaviour so she decided to post shady tweets and tweets about how strong and great she was and about how bad some ppl were totally not referring to GS fans *rolleyes*

She is definitely very immature and her problems don't just end with being greedy.I'm saying this as someone that had Destinee Hooker fanpages in 2012 era

I agree on Destinee. Right now, I'm not sure any top club would want to sign her.. talking Vakif, Eczacibasi, Fener, Conegliano, Novara etc. So she stays in Brazil, where she's considered a big star, which she is, but her level has dropped for sure

Logan was never going after the money. Every player has different priorities, hers was to play in as many different countries as possible. Kasia, for example, was known for her love for expensive contracts

Judging by the stats, looks like Lowe had a great game. I hope this competition with Fabris does her good and she continues improving .

Can I please get a link?

I haven't watched a single match.. are there any links?

There is so much to happen and you guys are already bitching about this. We don't even know if Novara will be in the final 4, or win the CL title, or if even Piccinini will play.

But that way they'll miss the opportunity to drag legendary (Turkish) players, and try and prove something everybody already acknowledges

So Novara forced a tie break after all

Sylla is doing great! Those short cross court spikes are impressive

Egonu started so strong, and now she's making mistakes all over the place

Plak's passing killed Agil in the second set. I would give Nizetich a try. Who's the back up MB for Agil? Chirichella as a blocker is a Ghost. Their defence gets help Just when Veljkovic is in and produces some rebounds.

It's Stufi

Yall are criticizing Carlini for not setting her middles enough, but she can pull out some sets from really difficult positions
