The start time is getting closer and closer, and the World Women's Volleyball Nations League will officially kick off! At present, the Chinese women's volleyball team has arrived in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to participate in the first match against Brazil! The competition will start on May 15th! In the Brazilian competition, the Chinese women's volleyball team will play against the South Korean women's volleyball team, the United States women's volleyball team, the Canadian women's volleyball team and the Serbian women's volleyball team.
We all know that because the Chinese women's volleyball team failed to qualify for the Olympic Games in the Olympic qualifying tournament last year, it also made the Chinese women's volleyball team face a dilemma! If you want to participate in the Paris Olympics, the World Women's Volleyball Nations League is the last chance! Therefore, the head coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team, Cai Bin, started preparations at the beginning of this year. And the goal is to hit the Olympic ticket!
Among the four opponents of the Chinese women's volleyball team in this competition, the American women's volleyball team and the Serbian women's volleyball team have gone straight to Paris in advance. According to media reports, Serbia seems to be missing a number of key players. The current situation of the South Korean women's volleyball team is not very good, and if they want to compete for the Olympic qualification, it is estimated that they will accompany the prince to study. The Canadian women's volleyball team is the main competitor of the Chinese women's volleyball team. So the matchup with the Canadian women's volleyball team is a key encounter, and both teams want to get tickets to the Olympics. At 4:30 on May 18, the two teams will compete directly, and CCTV5 will broadcast the game live.
At present, the ranking of the Chinese women's volleyball team and the Canadian women's volleyball team is not very different. The Chinese women's volleyball team is ranked sixth in the world, while the Canadian women's volleyball team is ranked eleventh. According to the rules to enter the Olympic Games, you must first be in the top 10 in the world! Therefore, the Canadian women's volleyball team must go all out to win and get more points. And the Chinese women's volleyball team is the same, getting more wins, getting more points, keeping the first place in Asia, and thus getting a ticket to the Olympic Games.
Although the Canadian women's volleyball team ranks lower than us, they are not as vulnerable as they imagined! In last year's Olympic qualifying tournament, the Chinese women's volleyball team lost to its opponent in five games. At that time, the Chinese women's volleyball team drew 2-2 with its opponent in the first four games. In the deciding game, the Chinese women's volleyball team once led 7-4, but the Chinese women's volleyball team failed to withstand the opponent at the end of the game and finally lost 15-17. It was also from this game that the Chinese women's volleyball team lost to the Dutch women's volleyball team and the Dominican women's volleyball team in a row, and also announced in advance that it would not be able to go directly to the Paris Olympics.
In recent years, the Canadian women's volleyball team has been full of impact, and they mainly rely on the play of several people such as Van Rijk, main attack Gray and secondary attack Magrio. Although their overall strength is limited, the explosion point is really strong! I also hope that Cai Bin's guidance can be targeted in tactical arrangement! The match will start at 4:30 a.m. on May 18. Can the Chinese women's volleyball team defeat its opponents? Let's wait and see!
