On the second matchday of the 2023 Women's World Volleyball League Brasilia, the first match is before the game between Thailand, which is ranked 14th in the world before the game, against Germany, which is ranked twelfth in the world, from the ranking point of view, the two teams are not much different, Germany is tall and the average height of Thai players is only higher than Japan among the sixteen teams, so the two sides represent to a certain extent which style is more suitable for volleyball development in teams with similar strength. Altman, the core of the German team, and Chachuang, and Aye Chalabong, the core of the Thai team, both play in the Turkish league, and both sides know each other better, so it stands to reason that this match should be more glue, but unfortunately in the end Germany won easily 3-1.
The advantage of the German team in this game is still relatively obvious, the first to take a 2:0 lead, only lost the third game, in the fourth game the Thai people are still more powerful, Germany 2 points narrowly won, in general, the ability of the two teams is not on the same level, it is worth mentioning that the previous matchday Japan also lost 2:3 to the Serbian women's volleyball team who basically substituted for four consecutive losses, so this also proves that tall players or volleyball players are the final way out. The Thai women's volleyball team lost more embarrassingly, all the data are not as good as Germany, the smash lost 3 points, the serve lost 3 points, the mistake was 1 more, the blocking net was abused by 13 points, they only scored 7 points, the gap is too obvious.
In terms of individual player scoring, Germany's Weiltze scored a game-high 17 points on 3-of-3 (3-of-24) and 1-serve from the field for 17 points, Altman scored 16 points on 13-of-33 shooting, Schulzell 15 points and Stiglott 12 points. Thailand's Tattaao became the team's best player, with 15 of 26 dunks, 2 blocks and 3 turnovers, and also scored a game-high 17 points, Pinpichaya and Chachuang both scored 10 points, and Aye Chalabhong scored only 3 points. After the match, the German women's volleyball team was unexpectedly ranked, rising to fifth in the table with four wins, overtaking the likes of Brazil, Japan, Serbia and Italy, but Brazil has little problem surpassing it, so let's wait and see.
