Fenerbahce, one of the Turkish Super League giants, has made new moves, and they officially announced the news that Serbian foreign aid Mirenkovic joined. With Mirenkovic's joining, Fenerbahce has already had 6 foreign players so far. According to Fenerbahce official statement, there are two Chinese players joining the team in December, so the number of foreign players in the team reaches at least 8.

The foreign players that have been officially announced are mainly attackers Christina, Fedorovseva, Mirenkovic, deputy attacker Coneluke, and supporting Yasmin and setter Oro. Former Chinese women's volleyball team captain Yuan Xinyue has long been widely rumored to join the franchise. Since she will also represent Tianjin in the National Games, there has not been an official announcement yet. But judging from the fact that Fenerbahce's senior executives mentioned Chinese players many times, Yuan Xinyue is almost certain to join.

Fenerbahce suffered from short secondary attack last season. When they met a team with high offensive points, the net entrance height was at a disadvantage, so they introduced the two highest secondary attackers in the world. For Yuan Xinyue, joining Fenerbahce is a huge challenge, and the first is to face the dispute over quota. There are at most three foreign players in the Turkish Super League, and the second setter Oro will definitely occupy one place. So whether the remaining two places are for the main attacker or the deputy attacker becomes the biggest problem.

Second, blocking is not Yuan Xinyue's strength. The blocking data in the league and Champions League finals last season were not ideal. Her strengths are serving and offense. How Fenerbahce uses Yuan Xinyue has also become a major difficulty. Third, Fenerbahce's first pass level is not stable. The main match is Christina and Fedorovseva. Their first pass level is limited, and the tactical ball of the secondary attack is mainly based on the first pass. Of course, it is a good thing for Yuan Xinyue to be able to stay at Fenerbahce to play a high-level game.

Another Chinese player who joined Fenerbahce is still unclear. Some speculates it is Zhuang Yushan, while others think it is Zhang Zixuan. Whether it is Zhuang Yushan or Zhang Zixuan, the dispute over the quota between the two is even more intense. If it is setter Zhang Zixuan, her competitors will be Oro from Italy; if it is the main attacker Zhuang Yushan, her competitors will be Brazil's main attacker Christina, Russia's main attacker Fedorovseva and Serbia's main attacker Mirenkovic. No matter how you compare, Zhang Zixuan and Zhuang Yushan are at a disadvantage in competition.

Fenerbahce has frequently signed up this season, with the main purpose of winning the league championship and striving for the Champions League. But with so many foreign players gathered in one team, the playing time allocated to each foreign player is very limited. Although playing in the Turkish Super League is conducive to improving one's own level, will our young players really make progress when there are so many foreign players?

Fenebache's current lineup (by the official announcement):

Main attackers (5 people): Kristina (Brazil), Fedorovseva (Russia), Paladin, Mirenkovic (Serbia), Savronova

Deputy attackers (4 people): Ada, Coneluke (Poland), Beyaz, Karachi

Supporters (2 people): Vargas, Yasmin (USA)
