Random thought but I'm curious to see what Germany can do this upcoming NT season. With Drewniok having a nice season with Sariyer I think she solves the OPP problem Germany had last summer. Stigrot could move back to OH and passing would be more stable (I think). They could definitely be a scary challenge for some of the top teams. OH: Stigrot, Orthmann/Alsmeier OPP: Drewniok MB: Weitzel, Scholzel/Cekulaev S: Kastner L: Pogany On paper that's not a bad lineup imo. But who knows, maybe the players will have beef with Heynen and they play like crap. I liked the Janiska - Alsmeier - Orthmann trio in which Janiska played as a passing opposite and they covered Orthmann. Too bad they did not do this much |

They still have Janiska too. She's retired from the NT. Germany's success will depend on how Kastner plays and how consistent their pins can be. Aw.  I thought for sure she was still active. Orthmann/Alsmeier at OH looks like a solid combo if the passing can hold up. |

Says he wants a competitive roster for VNL but also completely understand how busy this summer will be with Euros and Olympic qualifiers and will talk to players and ask what they want to do. Basically the opposite of what we thought he’d do lmao. Says he needs to look at young talents too to bring in the new generation and that he actually has always dreamed of coaching Serbia due to the great success among most sports for being a small country and he said he’s loved working with the Serbian players and their work ethic like Milena, Maja, and Jelena back in the day

Also he said he doesn’t want to change much as far as culture and stuff because it’s obvious they have a strong one and he just wants to “enter the ship” and not rock it so to speak.

I don't know if you know this but Egonu will be co-hosting the "Sanremo Music Festival" (the most watched Italian TV event of the year) so it means maximum media exposure and gossip in huge amounts so as to make as much noise as possible. |

Stysiak is legit so much better at attacking out of 1 than she is 2. I was rewatching Serbia Poland and Stysiak was automatic out of the back row and just not nearly as good from the front row so I watched a couple sets of other Poland matches and yea home girl can’t hit in the front but is god mode out of the back

I took a look at the VNL schedule and saw that Croatia-Bulgaria was on the 1st day in Week 1. That match is literally THE relegation match imo.

Zhana Todorova haș also been MIA this entire season. I'm guessing she is recovering from her injury that kept her out of WCH? I think it'll be a closer matchup than most think. |

I think DOM could be in some trouble
Brayelin is hurt. DLC isn't DLC of yesteryear. Brenda has had some issues.
Gaila might be able to carry against some mid-teams... but unless they get healthy, it could go downhill fast.
