Chapter 307: An Unusual World Championship (5)
The schedule of the World Championships is relatively dense, with eight teams in each group, each team has to play seven games in the group stage, and if it is a championship team, they have to play ten games in 18 days, so basically every team has one game every other day.
The coach of the Republic women's volleyball team and the Brazilian women's volleyball team was originally regarded as the highlight of this World Championships, and even the FIVB in the publicity before the start of the World Championships focused on the duel between the Republic women's volleyball team and the Brazilian women's volleyball team, but no one thought that before the start of this World Championships, the focus of the audience was attracted by something else.
Now that the match between the Republic women's volleyball team and the Brazilian women's volleyball team has been played, the result is indeed somewhat unexpected, the originally expected Mars hit the earth-like game did not appear, but the Republic women's volleyball team played a rare stability, while the Brazilian women's volleyball team is more or less unbearable.
On the same day that the women's volleyball team of the Republic played the match against the Brazilian women's volleyball team, the other matches of Group A were also in full swing.
In the other two games in Group A, the Dutch women's volleyball team defeated the Dongying women's volleyball team 3-1, and the Dongying women's volleyball team, which is ranked twelfth in the world, is obviously not the opponent of the sixth-ranked Dutch women's volleyball team.
In another match between the French team and the Puerto Rico team, the Puerto Rico women's volleyball team, a small country from Central and North America, unexpectedly defeated the French women's volleyball team with a total score of 3-2, which is a big upset.
On the third match day of the World Championships, the match in Group B started, and basically the strong teams won one after another, and the only upset was that the little-known Polish women's volleyball team defeated the Cuban women's volleyball team, the hegemon of Central and North America.
The Cuban women's volleyball team was the hegemon of the world women's volleyball world in the nineties of the last century, but after entering the twenty-first century, their results declined rapidly, but even so, they are still strong contenders for the world championship in various world series, but in the past two years, the Cuban women's volleyball team is in a period of instability, the team's results are very unstable, they did not even break into the top four in the women's volleyball Americas Championship three years ago, and had to regretfully miss the World Championship Cup that had ended before.
After the first three match days, the sixteen teams of this World Championship have appeared, and the most outstanding performance is of course the Republic women's volleyball team and the Italian women's volleyball team, which is still in the decline but still has the temperament of the king.
After the last World Championship Cup, the former world No. 1 was the main attacker of Varenna? Pocheski officially announced her retirement from the national team, it seems that the contradiction between her and the national team is irreconcilable, she even publicly declared at the retirement ceremony that the Italian women's volleyball team is squeezing her, which has caused a lot of sensation in Italy and even the world's women's volleyball world, but the Italian women's volleyball team is also very tough, directly opened Valenna, the two sides quarreled with the help of the media, and now the purpose of the Italian women's volleyball team in the World Championships is to play well, In this way, it was proved to the world that Vallenna was talking to himself.
Therefore, the Italian women's volleyball team is very formal in this World Championships, they won the Korean women's volleyball team bloodlessly in the first game, and the Korean women's volleyball team only scored less than 55 points in three games, which is still very scary.
On the fourth match day, the Group A match continued, and the opponent of the Republic women's volleyball team on this day was the Puerto Rico women's volleyball team, which had a small upset before.
The Puerto Rico women's volleyball team, which defeated the French women's volleyball team, did not pose much threat to the Republic women's volleyball team, but the Republic women's volleyball team has always suppressed the rhythm of the opponent, and at the same time, its own performance is also extremely stable, which has shown the temperament of the new hegemon of the Republic women's volleyball team.
The host U.S. women's volleyball team did not continue to be decadent in their second game, and under great pressure, the U.S. women's volleyball team broke out with the strength they should have, and the team was much more stable and united than the first game, and they defeated the Dutch women's volleyball team 3-1.
The U.S. women's volleyball team did not collapse, which somewhat relieved the FIVB, but the performance of the Brazilian women's volleyball team once again made people dumbfounded, and they lost to the Dongying women's volleyball team, which had not lost for nearly 12 years.
This game can be said to be the biggest upset in the women's volleyball world series in recent years, the Dongying women's volleyball team has won all the matches with the Brazilian women's volleyball team in the whole twelve years, it can be said that their lineup was born restrained by the characteristics of the Brazilian women's volleyball team, but what everyone didn't expect was that although the Dongying women's volleyball team did not play well in this game, it couldn't help the self-destruction of the Brazilian women's volleyball team.
How can such a team defeat their opponents, the Brazilian women's volleyball team rises because of the ability of their players, and at the same time collapses because of the personality of their players.
Since the match between the Brazilian women's volleyball team and the Dongying women's volleyball team was played after the match between the Republic women's volleyball team and the Puerto Rico women's volleyball team, the Republic women's volleyball team, which basically did not consume much, did not leave directly, but left after watching the game of the Brazilian women's volleyball team.
In the last game of the day in Group A, the Serbian women's volleyball team also defeated the French women's volleyball team relatively easily.
Before the opening of this World Championships, the players of the French women's volleyball team were invited to participate in a fashion show, these long legs amazed the entire Parisian fashion circle, and were hailed as the most suitable athletes to be models in the sports circle, but now it seems that the French girls are indeed full of talent in the modeling profession, but they have little interest in their own work.
The World Championships lasted for four days, although the event went smoothly, and there was no longer anything that affected the entire process, but there were still a lot of media focusing on the Republic women's volleyball team and the United States women's volleyball team, after all, in the current situation, these two teams have undoubtedly become mortal enemies, all the media are looking forward to the meeting of these two teams, and also look forward to breaking bigger news in this game.
However, Wang Lei himself does not pay attention to these at all, he pays more attention to the performance of other opponents, such as the Italian women's volleyball team, such as the Serbian women's volleyball team, these two teams have also won all so far, which will be the biggest obstacle on the way to the Republic women's volleyball team to win the championship.
