With the end of the match between the Japanese women's volleyball team and the Belgian women's volleyball team, the top 8 matchups in the 2022 World Women's Volleyball League finals have also been announced. Chinese women's volleyball team suffered a cruel plot. Their ideal opponent was not chosen. It seems that if they don't have the strength, they have to look at their faces.
I believe fans still remember the Tokyo Olympics. The Chinese women's volleyball team was calculated by others and ultimately missed the group qualifying. The ninth place result became the worst result of the Chinese women's volleyball team in the Olympics. It's true that someone is plotting against them, but it's also because of the team's own incompetence. They dug the hole to bury themselves in the early stage, and then they had to look at other people's faces to fill it in the later stage.
Before the last round of the World Women's Volleyball League, the Chinese women's volleyball team was ranked 5th. Judging from the matchups of the second teams, the opponents the Chinese women's volleyball team encountered were likely to be Brazil and Japan. Meeting these two teams is ideal for the Chinese women's volleyball team. Although the Chinese women's volleyball team lost to the Japanese women's volleyball team and the Brazilian women's volleyball team in the sub-station games, it does not mean that they have no chance to meet them in the quarterfinals.
The Brazilian women's volleyball team is in the midst of a transition between old and new players, and the lineup is not very strong. In the 2021 World Women's Volleyball League, Zhang Changning led the second team to win against the all-main Brazilian Women's Volleyball Team. The Japanese women's volleyball team is a small and fast team. Although the early results of the World Women's Volleyball League were excellent, it does not mean that they are really strong. Therefore, whether the Chinese women's volleyball team encounters the Brazilian women's volleyball team or the Japanese women's volleyball team, the probability of victory or defeat should be 50% each.
The opponent of the Chinese women's volleyball team in the last round was and the Korean women's volleyball team . I thought they could win easily, but unexpectedly they encountered great difficulties. If it weren't for the last critical moment of the fourth game, free agent Ni Feifei and main attacker Li Yingying stands out, and the final outcome is really hard to predict. After defeating the Korean women's volleyball team 3-1, the Chinese women's volleyball team is ahead of the Japanese women's volleyball team, which has one game less, temporarily ranking fourth.
The opponent of the Japanese women's volleyball team is the Belgian women's volleyball team, which is also a weak team. Logically speaking, the Japanese women's volleyball team has no problem winning the game. However, the final result was that the Japanese women's volleyball team lost the game 2-3. Since then, the Japanese women's volleyball team has not been able to surpass the Chinese women's volleyball team, ranking fifth.
The top 8 teams are American Women's Volleyball Team , Brazilian Women's Volleyball Team, Italian Women's Volleyball Team , Chinese Women's Volleyball Team, Japanese Women's Volleyball Team, Serbian Women's Volleyball Team, Turkish Women's Volleyball Team and Thai Women's Volleyball Team . Since the finals are held in Turkey , Turkey, as the host, will get a top 8 spot regardless of whether it can enter the top 8, and the opponents in the first round are all the 8th ranked teams.
Judging from the rankings, the matchups will be 7 (Turkish Women's Volleyball Team)-VS8 (Thailand Women's Volleyball Team), 6 (Serbian Women's Volleyball Team) VS1 (American Women's Volleyball Team), 5 (Japanese Women's Volleyball Team) VS2 (Brazilian Women's Volleyball Team), 4 (Chinese Women's Volleyball Team) VS3 ( Italian women's volleyball team).
Judging from the performance of the Chinese women's volleyball team in the past 12 games, the opponents they least want to encounter in the finals are naturally the American women's volleyball team and the Italian women's volleyball team. The American women's volleyball team has a strong lineup, and the Italian women's volleyball team has a heavy shooter like Aignu. The current Chinese women's volleyball team's first pass is very unstable, and the back row is not good at attacking and defending with heavy artillery. The defense of the main free agent Wang Weiyi and the main attacker Jin Ye is very average. If Li Yingying is allowed to take more rounds, then there will be no one in the front row of the Chinese women's volleyball team to attack.
In Ankara, although the Chinese women's volleyball team defeated the Italian women's volleyball team 3-1, you must know that the opponent is not the main force. Only in the finals will many strong teams take it seriously. I personally think that the current Chinese women's volleyball team will have a hard time winning the game without replacing its two main attackers, Jin Ye and Wang Yunluo. If there is a change, it will be difficult for the new players to come in and lack cooperation.
