Former Turkish Super League overlord Wakifer Bank have suffered Waterloo this season, winning only one of the lightest titles. Thankfully, they saved face in the bronze medal match, beating Turkish Airlines 2-0 to finish third in the league and qualify for next season's Champions League, while Turkish Airlines will play in the Europa League.
In this battle, Wakifer hid Thompson and switched to Karutasu to play, which achieved good results. According to technical statistics, Carutasu scored a game-high 17 points with 25 deductions, 12 shots, 2 blocks and 3 shots, Franti scored 14 points with 13 shots from 22 deductions, Gabi scored 13 points with 12 deductions and 1 block, Zehra scored 7 points with 3 deductions and 4 blocks from 8 points, Ogbogu scored 4 points and Ozbay scored 3 points, Turkish Airlines Van Rijk scored 14 points, Ozsoy scored 12 points, and Bergman scored only 1 point after being blocked by 1 of 15 deductions and 3 errors.
This match was the last game in which Gabi, the captain and the core of the Brazilian women's volleyball team, played on behalf of Vakifer Bank. After finishing third, Gabby and head coach Goody hugged each other affectionately. The opportunity for Gabi to join Wakifu was Zhu Ting's departure, and the team reached an agreement with Gabi, who stayed abroad for the first time, in order to find a suitable offensive and defensive main attacker. Over the course of five seasons, Gabi helped Wakifer Bank win 10 golds, 3 silvers and 6 bronzes.
The 10 gold medals include the Champions League, Club World Cup, Turkish Super League, Turkish Cup and Super Cup, the three silver medals in the 20-21 Champions League, 22-23 and 23-24 Club World Cup, and the six bronze medals in the 22-23 and 23-24 Turkish Super League, the 23-24 Turkish Cup and the 19-20, 20-21 and 22-23 Turkish Super Cups. If Zhu Ting doesn't return to China, maybe the two of them will become partners.
According to Turkish media reports, with the departure of the assistant attacker Ogbogu, Wakifer Bank contacted a number of overseas players to seek the most suitable replacement, and finally reached an agreement with Yuan Xinyue, who will play for Vakifer Bank next season. It is reported that Wakifu Bank signed a one-year contract with Yuan Xinyue. Since Wakifer qualified for the Champions League, it also means that there will be a "Chinese derby" in the Champions League. ”
Next season, according to the previous statement, Zhu Ting will join Conegliano, who has already qualified for the Champions League, and Yuan Xinyue will play for Wakifer. This is not only the "Chinese women's volleyball team Champions League derby", but also the Chinese women's volleyball team's new former captain of the derby, I don't know what kind of situation the two sides will present? Next season, Wakifer's main lineup should be the main attack Posetti Jr., Markova, the secondary attack Zehra, Yuan Xinyue, the response to Van Rijk, Kip, the setter Ozbay and the libero Ajkachi.
