Volleyball Nations League: The perfect Japan, the collapse of Russia by Russia

Today, on June 9, at night, Kyiv time finished the matches of the first game slot of the League of Nations in Volleyball among women. 18 teams divided into three groups played on different continents of four starting matches. According to them, only three teams – Japan, Italy and Turkey – remained invincible. But if the representatives of Europe lost their points, as individual matches won on Tai Breics, then the Japanese in the capital of Canada were perfect without giving away any set by the rivals. At the same time, the Japanese team, headed by Turkish specialist Ferchat Akbash, is not distinguished by the vivid actions of any of the volleyball players individually, namely clear collective actions.

Instead, Turkeni in Beijing won all four matches, including strong Polish and Chinese national teams, even in the absence of, perhaps, the strongest volleyball player Melissa Vargas. The coaching staff saves the star diagonal for the decisive stages, as well as for the matches of the World Cup, which will take place in August, but from that the Turkish national team does not become less competitive.

In turn, Italy sent to Rio de Janeiro the strongest composition, led by the heroines of the Golden Olympics-2024 in Paris Paolo Egon, Miriam Silla, Anna Dnezi and the brilliant grazing Alessia Orro. The Argentine Coach Hulio Velasoo did not shy away from the active rotation of the composition. In the match with the Germans, the risk almost led to defeat, but in general the Olympic champions held the first round.

FIVB. Miriam Sill is playing a American block And the main surprise of the starting segment of the League of Nations was the fiasco of one of the strongest national teams of modern women’s volleyball – Serbia. In Ottawa, the team of Branko Kvachevich lost all four matches and at this stage remains the only one who did not know the taste of victories. This series of matches showed that, unlike Turkey, which remains capable even without Vargas, Serbia without Tiana Boshkovich is a mediocre, and somewhere even a helpless team. It is interesting that before the start of the League of Nations of the Serbi at home in the atmosphere of the puppy friendship played a friendly match with the Muscovites. It turned out that the brother, or the sister -in -law was not very good.
