The ownership of the gold medal in the women's volleyball event at the Paris Olympics has always attracted much attention. In an interview with the media, Serbia host Brakosević and Russia star Gamova predicted four events: Olympic gold medal, favorite player, favorite athlete and young athlete of the most concern, but China did not qualify.
In Brakocevic's prediction, the Olympic final should be between Serbia and Turkey, with the favorite player going to Odenenovic, the young athlete to focus on being taken by Brazil's young Cristina and the favorite coach being Gudeti; Gamova's prediction is that the Olympic final will be played between Turkey and United States, with favorite players Larsson and Ida, the most concerned young athlete Skinner and favorite coach Kirari.
From the selection of the two famous players, it can be seen that both Blakosevic and Gamova have confidence in Turkey and agree that she has the potential to reach the final. Indeed, with the addition of Vargas and the replacement of Santarelli as manager, Turkey's strength has improved significantly, and their style of play has become more mature and stable.
However, if the Turkey women's volleyball team wants to reach the final, it still needs to solve one point, that is, the problem of the main offensive line is soft. Although Santarelli chose five main attackers, none of these main attackers were particularly outstanding in their offensive ability, especially the ability to adjust strong attacks. Once a pass is not in place, you can only choose Vargas to force a breakthrough. In addition, Turkey only brought one free man in this Olympics, which posed a greater test to the team's pass.
For Turkey to win the title, it will need to go through multiple hurdles of Italy, Serbia and United States. Italy and Serbia play similar to Turkey, both are guaranteed main attacks and strong responses, who can have the last laugh in the game, need to see the play; The United States women's volleyball team focuses on fast attack, and if Turkey cannot disrupt the United States' pass, then the United States team has a good chance of beating Turkey.
On the two favorite players and young athletes who are most concerned, Blakosevic and Gamova gave different answers, but unfortunately there were no Zhu Ting, Li Yingying and Wu Mengjie of the Chinese team. Brakocevic's choice of Odjenovic and Christina is well deserved, one is his teammate, and the other is the popular fried chicken in 05; Gamova's selection of Larsson, Ida and Skinner are also well-known players in the international volleyball world.
In this Olympic Games, the prospects of the Chinese women's volleyball team are not optimistic, whether it is the gold medal prediction or other predictions, almost all of them are rarely on the list. The main reason is that the strength of the current cycle is poor, although the gap between the strong teams is not large, but the Chinese women's volleyball team has a slightly inferior grasp of the key points, and many times it is an inexplicable mistake and losing the game. I hope that with the addition of veterans such as Zhu Ting, the team can get rid of these bad problems.
