Less than one month before the start of the 24 Women's Volleyball World League, the Chinese women's volleyball team will usher in their debut. Since the team has not yet secured a place for the Paris Olympics, the importance of this World League cannot be overstated. As the team prepared for the game, there was good news that the first week had weakened.
According to the schedule, the Chinese team will travel to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in the first week, and play against four teams in turn: South Korea, the United States, Canada and Serbia. In addition to South Korea's weaker strength, the United States and Serbia are both traditional strong teams, Canada is an upstart, and in the Olympic Championships, the Chinese team has also lost to their opponents, so the strength should not be underestimated.
Fortunately, Serbia has announced the roster of participants, and they will send substitutes to play, and Boskovic, Odeninovic and other famous players will miss the World League. In fact, this is not the first time that the Serbian women's volleyball team has chosen to use a substitute to compete in the World League, the main reason is that considering the long schedule of the European League, Boskovic and Odeninovic are still playing in the Turkish Super League and Serie A.
If you return rashly, although it will improve the team's combat strength and performance, it is not conducive to the physical recovery of the players and the long-term consideration of the team. Serbia have already qualified for the Olympics, so this World Championship is just a commercial event for them to train for the Olympics. In that case, it would be better to look at the young players and substitutes.
No matter what purpose the Serbian women's volleyball team sends a substitute, it is undoubtedly good news for the Chinese women's volleyball team who are bent on qualifying for the Olympics. If the Chinese women's volleyball team can defeat Serbia, then the world ranking will rise, which is conducive to maintaining the first place in Asia. Without Boskovic and others, the Serbian women's volleyball team should still be difficult to beat the Chinese team where Zhu Ting and Zhang Changning returned.
The first opponent of the World League, the South Korean women's volleyball team, changed four players, Lee So-young suffered a torn ligament in his left ankle, Kim Do-eun partially torn his right knee rotator muscle, Kim Yeon-kin suffered a medial left ankle injury, and Moon Jung-won left the team with traumatic arthritis and meniscus injury in his right knee. The new additions are Park so-yeon, Moon Ji-yoon, Kim Chae-won and Han Da-hye. Among these four players, Lee So-young's departure has the greatest impact on the strength of the Korean women's volleyball team.
During the Paris Olympic cycle, the level of the South Korean team has declined rapidly, and from the beginning of 22 years to the present, it is difficult to find a win in the World League, and has suffered 27 consecutive defeats. The first game in 24 years was against the Chinese women's volleyball team, which is the No. 1 in Asia, and it is estimated that it will create a record of 28 consecutive defeats. Although South Korea's strength is declining rapidly, we will still be shocked by a cold sweat when playing the Chinese team, so the Chinese team cannot relax and still needs to be careful.
As for the contest with the United States, the Chinese women's volleyball team must go all out to win if it has the opportunity, and it is a "revenge battle" against Canada. Facing Serbia, which is tall and tall, the Chinese team needs to play its fast-changing specialties and take advantage of the opponent's substitutions to score points.
