Paris, 1 Aug (Xinhua) -- After defeating France in straight sets on 1 August, the Chinese women's volleyball team qualified from Group A one round ahead of schedule with a record of winning all two games, and head coach Cai Bin said that the France team is not a weak team, and the team will take every team seriously and go all out to play every game.
Compared with the last five-game battle against United States, the Chinese team won the day relatively easily, and the world No. 19 France team did not score more than 20 points in a game, but Cai Bin believes that the opponent is by no means a weak team.
"When it comes to the Olympics, everyone has seen that in fact, the France team is really not weak, maybe there are more mistakes. The offensive strength of this team is still very strong, with height and strength, and they have always wanted to impact us with their serves. In the third game, we had some ups and downs in the first pass, and we had a couple of counter-attacking opportunities that we didn't adjust well, so I think that's worth summing up. Cai Bin said.
"Let's take it one game at a time, there's one game in the group stage, and we'll take it seriously for all the games that follow." Cai Bin said.
Gong Xiangyu, who received the second setter, also thought that the France team was strong, she said: "From the first game, you can see that the France team is very tenacious defensively, and by the third game they played a wave of climaxes, and they must also want to fight every ball with all their might." We won the game because we did a good job of executing the manager's intention and asking each of us to have the desire to score. ”
The Chinese team will welcome the last group stage opponent Serbia on the 4th, and Cai Bin said that he will continue to go all out. "With the current format, it's hard for us to judge who the next knockout opponent will be, because it's not just our group, but it also depends on the scores of other groups, so we still have to prepare well and play the game well."
Serbia coach Gudety has been studying the Chinese team? Cai Bin smiled and said, "Then I can also study him." ”
