The FIVB updated the 2022 World Men's Volleyball League schedule, the good news is that the Chinese men's volleyball team that originally did not have the opportunity to participate for 2 consecutive years regained the right to participate as a substitute team after the Ban of the Russian Men's Volleyball Team, which also allowed the Chinese men's volleyball team to have 12 valuable warm-up opportunities before the World Championships, and will participate in Brasilia, Quezon, Gdansk 3 stations, the world ranking of 12 opponents is higher than the Chinese men's volleyball team, for the men's volleyball boys are hard battles!
Week 1 Brasilia Fixtures:
June 8, 5:00 China vs Iran
June 10, 2:00 p.m. Japan vs China
June 12 at 5:00 China vs Slovenia
June 12, 21:00 Brazil vs China
In the 3 matches of the Chinese men's volleyball team, the 2 opponents of Iran and Japan in the first week are relatively weak in the 3 matches, and even then the Chinese men's volleyball team has no chance of winning. After the return to the World League, the first opponent is the Asian hegemony Iran team, the current Iranian men's volleyball team ranked 10th in the world, is the highest ranking team in Asia, and is also the only Asian boss that can compete with the strong teams in Europe and the United States, the Chinese men's volleyball team has been invincible for many years, even if the Iranian team sent two teams to participate in the Asian Championship last year, it still defeated the main Chinese men's volleyball team, and the Chinese men's volleyball team in this game can focus on every ball with a flat mentality.
For the second opponent, Japan, I am afraid that this year's World League has a rare chance to win the opponent, last year's Tokyo Olympic Games test match Chinese men's volleyball team once defeated the Japanese team, but the opponent in the Tokyo Olympic Games to break into the top 8, the world ranked 11th, the strength of the two teams between Bo Zhong. The third opponent Slovenia is the runner-up of last year's European Championships, the last 4 European Championships 3 runners-up, is a typical combination of high and fast, and the host Brazil team is the 4th place in the Tokyo Olympic Games, but also the champion of many world leagues, Slovenia and Brazil two strong, the Chinese men's volleyball team is indeed powerless, can only do their best.
Week 2 Quezon, Philippines Schedule:
June 22, 15:00 France vs China
June 23, 15:00 China vs Germany
June 24, 15:00 Argentina vs China
June 26, 19:00 China vs Italy
The second opponent is obviously a notch higher than the first match, france is the Tokyo Olympic champion, the world no. 4, with stars like Engapes pressing the team. Germany, ranked 16th in the world, was in the top 8 of last year's European Championships, and Groser has a reputation as a "hammer" and is super offensive. The Argentine men's volleyball team led by former foreign aid Conte in the Chinese League is ranked 6th in the world and is the third place in the Tokyo Olympic Games, while the Italian men's volleyball team is the strongest opponent of the Chinese men's volleyball team in the group stage of the World Championships, ranked 5th in the world, and also the champion of last year's European Championships.
Week 3 Gdansk, Poland:
July 6, 21:00 China vs Netherlands
July 9th, 21:00 Bulgaria vs China
July 10th, 21:00 China vs Poland
21:00 on July 10th Serbia vs China
The last 4 opponents of the Chinese men's volleyball team are all from Europe, but also the world's first-class strong team, the Netherlands men's volleyball team ranked 15th in the world, with a superstar to receive Aziz, the Bulgarian team ranked 21st in the world also has such a veteran as Sokolov, the Polish men's volleyball team is the defending champion of the World Championships, and it is also the third place in last year's European Championships, the current world ranking is 2nd, followed by the Brazilian men's volleyball team, the Serbian men's volleyball team has also won the European Championship championship, the world ranked 9th, I am afraid that the Chinese men's volleyball team can not win many games in this World League, but such opportunities are rare, only by playing with Zhu Qiang, can we truly reflect the gap, find the direction of efforts to continue to check and fill in the gaps, and strive to advance to the rematch at the World Championships.
