Fenerbahce destroyed pretty strong men’s team to invest more on women’s team. Now, everything fade away. Maybe, they now have realized that Galatasaray lost three years with a short setter, Lo Bianco. At this kevel, it is almost impossible with a very short setter. Firstly, she has apparently no block at the net. Secondly, with a little high receiving, she can not save the ball. Congratulations to Vakifbank, I hope that they can pass through Ezcacibasi.
They put the money to women’s team because they thought the women had bigger chances to win!!! Compare the money the club spent on women team in the last 3-4 years and what they really achieved?! Only expensive players and bad decisions
