Recently, the International Volleyball Federation announced the TOP12 women's volleyball players in 2021. The list may have disappointed domestic fans a bit because there wasn't a single Chinese player.
In this list, there are 4 main attackers, 2 secondary attackers, 3 receivers, 2 second passes, and 1 free man. The specific list is as follows:
First, South Korea's main attacker Kim Soft-kyung; second, the American free man Orantes-Wang; third, Italy received Egnu; fourth, Serbia received Boskovic; fifth, Brazil's secondary attack Caroline; sixth, the United States attacked Larsson; seventh, Brazil attacked Gabi; eighth, Russia attacked Fedorovtseva; ninth, the United States second pass Port; tenth, Brazil two pass Makris; eleventh, Turkey's deputy attack Ada; twelfth, Sweden received Haqq.
In this list, the U.S. women's volleyball team, which won the Tokyo Olympic women's volleyball championship and the World Women's Volleyball League championship in 2021, has three people selected. This is also reasonable, after all, the U.S. team performed too well last year, winning two important championships. It's just a bit of a surprise in terms of personnel. Larson, who was named MVP at the Tokyo Olympics, will definitely be shortlisted. Another U.S. player, second setter Porter, was named to the best team in both the World League and the Olympic Games, and his performance was also obvious to all, and naturally he could be selected for the INTERNATIONAL Volleyball Federation's list.
American Free Man Orantus. Wang is a good player who suddenly emerged in 2021. Before that, not many fans in the country should know about this player but in the World League Orantus. Wang was impressive. At that time, I felt that the free agent was too good to perform, and the defense was very stable. The U.S. women's volleyball team won two championships, Orantus. The king also has merit. She made the best team in both competitions. Later everyone learned about Orantus. Wang is of Chinese descent and his mother is Chinese, surnamed Wang. She has a king in her last name. Orantes. Wang was not only selected for the list, but also ranked second. It is not easy for a free man to rank second, which shows that the FIVB recognizes Orantes very much. king.
The Brazilian women's volleyball team won two runners-up last year. They both lost to the United States in the finals. However, the Brazilian women's volleyball team has done a very good job. This seriously unconnected, lacking young players, mostly 40-year-old aunt team actually made it to the finals of two major competitions, which made other teams feel bad. Three of them were also selected as the TOP12 of the FIVB. In any case, the Brazilian women's volleyball team members deserve this honor. For example, their deputy attacker Caroline was selected for the best team in the World League and the Olympic Games, and the main attacker Gabi was selected for the best team in the World League. Only the second pass Makris was not selected for the best squad in both competitions.
The Italian women's volleyball team, serbian women's volleyball team, Russian women's volleyball team, Turkish women's volleyball team, Swedish women's volleyball team, and South Korean women's volleyball team each have one team member selected as the TOP12. In addition to the Swedish women's volleyball team, the other five teams all participated in the Tokyo Olympic Games, and all reached the quarterfinals, and they were each given a player. The Swedish women's volleyball team did not enter the Tokyo Olympics, but it was a bit surprising that someone was selected for the list. Haq was supposed to have been named for his performances in the Europa League, as well as in international club competitions.
The other five on the roster are internationally acclaimed players. Egnu of the Italian women's volleyball team and Boskovic of the Serbian women's volleyball team are all strong receivers who have been famous for many years. Turkey's deputy Ida is a 34-year-old veteran who was named to the best team in the 2021 World League and performed well on both ends of the attack and defense. Fedorovtseva of the Russian women's volleyball team is jokingly called "Little ColorWa" by everyone and is an attacker with very strong offensive ability. Although he is very young, he is very experienced in playing. Last year's World League entered everyone's field of vision, and even Zhu Ting and Lang Ping admired her.
The strangest thing is the election of Jin Softjing. The South Korean women's volleyball team entered the fourth place at the Tokyo Olympics, and Kim Soft-kyung played the biggest role. She can lead a team of average strength to the final four, and Jin Softjing has created a big miracle. The former world women's volleyball team no. 1 main attacker, the state is amazingly good. She could indeed be included in this list. It's just that the FIVB put her in first place, which is still a bit strange. The International Volleyball Federation has given the Korean veteran enough face and the biggest recognition.
The Fivna Fidesz (FIVB) gave Jin a very high evaluation, calling her "a volleyball star in a billion miles"! (Volleyball's “One In A Billion Star")
Last year, the Chinese women's volleyball team performed poorly in international competitions, and none of the Chinese players were selected for the TOP12 list. If the Chinese team achieves good results, I believe that there will be players in the list. In particular, Zhu Ting, the "pro-girlfriend" of the International Volleyball Federation, will think of her with any honor. However, the Chinese women's volleyball team did not achieve good results last year, and the International Volleyball Federation did not care about Zhu Ting's previous achievements.
