The latest news, according to Turkish media reports, the 39-year-old veteran setter of the Serbian national team, Odenanovic, accepted the advice of coach Gudetti and will return to the Serbian national team. Odenenovic's return seems to have little to do with the Chinese women's volleyball team, but it has a great impact on the Chinese women's volleyball player Yao Di, and her return will make Yao Di's stay in the ocean face difficulties, forcing Yao Di to find a new owner next season.
Yao Di is a well-known second transmission in China. On the occasion of the training of the Chinese women's volleyball team in 2023, Yao Di chose to stay in the ocean and came to Italy's Scandicci club to play in Serie A and became a setter in Scandicci. Scandicci Club chose Yao Di to join after sending away the original main setter Marinov, and Yao Di has the opportunity to occupy the position of the main setter. However, it is regrettable that despite Yao Di's efforts, he was unable to surpass another setter, Di Eurio. In this way, the original substitute setter Di Yurio became Scandicci's main setter, and Yao Di became Scandicci's backup setter.
Obviously, as a well-known setter in China, Yao Di's performance was not too outstanding, and he lost to a substitute from a foreign club, which surprised domestic fans. However, this was only a small accident, and the bigger surprise was that Scandic, after signing Yao Di for a while, was planning to sign Serbian setter Odenenovic again. In this way, Yao Di and Odenenovich became rivals.
Odenenovic is about to enter the age of no confusion, which is not comparable to the age of 31-year-old Yao Di. However, Odenenovic has long been the main setter of the Serbian women's volleyball team, and has also been the main setter in Europe's top clubs for a long time. She has many personal honors, the most important of which is the best setter of the World Championships, European Championships and Champions League, and can be said to be a world-class player.
When Scandic intended to sign Ogernanovic, many people probably thought it was a money-losing deal and did not think that her arrival would pose a threat to Yao Di. Now, as a world-class coach, Goodty has taken the initiative to invite Odenenovic to return to the national team, which immediately makes Yao Di's situation difficult. Goodetti has long coached European countries and top European clubs and knows Odenenovic inside out. Without plenty of quality, Goodty would not have invited a 39-year-old to return.
It's clear that Scandicci and Goodty share the same sentiment that signing Odenenovic wasn't a whim, but a rational investment. In this way, as soon as Ogernanovic comes, Scandicci has one more setter, who should leave? Of course, Yao Di is the most likely to go.
In China, since Lai Yawen became the director of the drainage management center, the development model of "going out and bringing in" advocated by the Volleyball Association has been implemented. The volleyball association wants more players to play abroad, and this situation will be well implemented in the league next season. Yao Di, who went abroad to play this season, was originally one step ahead and could continue to play at Scandicci next season. Now it seems that Yao Di will not have an easy foothold abroad, and he may have to find a new owner next season.
