Today, the Chinese women's volleyball team once again ushered in a good news: following the Henan post hinting that Zhu Ting has successfully operated, the women's volleyball team's World Championships in the same group of strong opponents in the Brazilian women's volleyball team, Natalia posted on social media to announce her withdrawal from the Brazilian women's volleyball team!
Natalia
Natalia is 32 years old and has competed in three Olympic Games in London, Rio and Tokyo! She is a great contributor to Brazil's victory over the Tokyo Olympic Asian Games! This time, her withdrawal has brought great trouble to the head coach of the Brazilian women's volleyball team: the main attack Figarre has retired, Natalia has retired, and now the Brazilian women's volleyball team has only 30 years old to defeat the most reliable, and the strength of others is not good!
However, for the Chinese women's volleyball team, it is a good thing that Brazilian Natalia withdrew from the national team! Because we are in the same Group D as Brazil and Japan, according to the rules of the World Championships: the top four in Group A and the top four in Group D enter the same Group E, and these eight teams are all in the Round of 16 of the World Championships, and then the teams in Group E play again (the opponents who have played before will no longer play each other) to decide the final four. These four reached the top eight of the World Championships!
World Championships group
According to the strength of the two groups of AD, Group A is Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, Puerto Rico and other teams, and because the main secondary attack of the Dutch women's volleyball team has withdrawn from the national team, the final four teams of Italy, China, Brazil and Japan are likely to become the top four of Group E.
The eight-in-four competition is still held in the same group as Group E, E1 vs. E4 and E2 vs. E3. The winner of both world championships advances to the final four of the World Championships! So it seems that from the first stage of the group D competition, the result of the competition between the Chinese women's volleyball team and the opponents in the same group is very important! And Group D also poses a threat to Brazil and Japan to China, and now natalia withdraws, the strength of the Brazilian women's volleyball team has dropped sharply, and we are likely to enter the top sixteen of Group E as the first in Group D!
Zhang Changning
If Zhu Ting and Zhang Changning can return at that time, the Chinese women's volleyball team even has the opportunity to defeat Italy to become the first in group E, and then it will be able to play against the weakest E4 and easily enter the final four of the World Championships! Even if Zhu Ting and Zhang Changning only have one person to return, we are confident of beating the old Brazilian without Natalia and Figarre to ensure the second and third results of Group E!
You should know that in last year's World League, Zhang Changning alone led the women's volleyball team to defeat the Brazilian women's volleyball team with the whole main force! So, this time our hopes of reaching the final four have increased again!
