[@enea594]

she should really switch to another team, maybe the italian league because she’s really one of the best middle blockers in the world

[@Zackangels1]

She still has the guts to be along with the world class middle blockers

[@pedroreis3850]

She doesn't want to, she went through several injuries and it's better for her to be in a less stressful and competitive league. She got married and all, she doesn't want to move to another country
