As the Tokyo Olympics approached, the host team, Japan, conducted intensive interviews with retired players in some sports and invited them to talk about the Olympic prospects of each event. The Japanese women's volleyball team, which has a high popularity in Japan, also invited the former captain and the world's best second pass honor Takeshita Yoshie to comment on the current status of the Japanese women's volleyball team, she commented on the four two passes of the national team, talking about the player she was most looking forward to, without hesitation, she chose the 37-year-old veteran, who is also the current captain of the Japanese national team Araki Eirika.
Takeshita Yoshie is the most successful second pass of the Japanese women's volleyball team since the new century, although her height is only 159cm, but her jumping passing technique is hidden, the pass in front of the net is confusing, and the defense is active. Because the Japanese women's volleyball team advocates a fast and changeable way of playing, so the cooperation between the second pass and the attacker must be very tacit, Takeshita Yoshie to Kimura Saori, Kurihara Kei and other attackers of the pass buckle is particularly comfortable, she represented the Japanese women's volleyball team in Athens, Beijing and London three Olympic Games, in the London Olympic cycle three major competitions led the Japanese women's volleyball team twice to stand on the podium, the 2011 World Cup also won the best second pass honor.
After winning the bronze medal at the 2012 London Olympics, Takeshita Yoshie officially withdrew from the national team, and her retirement once brought huge losses to the Japanese women's volleyball team, and the Japanese women's volleyball team has never broken into the top four of the three major competitions, and the second pass position has also begun to rotate like a flower. In particular, since Nakata Kumi took office, she has used a number of second passes, and Takeshita Yoshie commented on 5 second passes in an interview, but from her tone, it seems that she clearly feels dissatisfaction, and her successor has not yet appeared.
Speaking of the most anticipated athlete at the Tokyo Olympics, Takeshita Yoshie pays special attention to her former teammate Araki Erika, who she believes is encouraged that as a member of the Beijing and London Olympic Games, Araki is still playing. The 37-year-old Araki Erika is the absolute main force in the Japanese women's volleyball team's secondary attack, she was once the best netblocker at the Beijing Olympic Games, and will be the captain of the four Olympic Games.
For the current Japanese women's volleyball team's best four-place second pass, Takeshita Yoshie commented: "The second pass has not been set for four years, I feel uneasy, Nakata Kumi is also the second pass, I feel that she has a strong persistence." Haruka Miyashita gave the impression of a broad field of vision, technically, defense and netting are her specialties; Miya Sato as a second setter is very high, just worried about the state after the injury; Sekino Norimi is only 21 years old, still very young, those young players have accumulated experience, increased their strength, but lost in the league final, queen's cup final, it can be seen that in the key events that give pressure and determine the results, it is still a little fragile; Tamshiro Kanami's passing skills are very good, and the serve is also very good. But it is not yet possible to become a real main member, and the coaching staff may have their own considerations, and it is more likely that they will eventually choose Tamshiro Kanami. ”
Rio Olympic cycle main second pass Miyashita Haruka to play in Tokyo is unlikely, the test match is Takeshita Yoshie optimistic Tamshiro Kanami, in order to cultivate the main second pass of the next Olympic Games, the young Sekisai Naomi may be reused, there is an injured Sato Miya to see the recovery of the injury, after all, she ranked first in the passing data at the 2019 World Cup.
