The draw for the women's volleyball team for the Paris Olympics was announced, and the specific groupings are as follows:
Group A: France, USA, China, Serbia
Group B: Brazil, Poland, Japan, Kenya
Group C: Italy, Turkey, Netherlands, Dominica
Let's first understand the rules for qualifying from the group stage:
The top two teams from the three groups advance directly to the quarterfinals, with the third-place finishers from the three groups comparing results and the best two third-place finishers advancing to the quarterfinals.
The top eight teams will play against each other in the group stage: 1st vs. 8th, 2nd vs. 7th, 3rd vs. 6th, and 4th vs. 5th.
Why did the host French team choose the Chinese team?
Any tournament will take care of the host team, in order to ensure box office and commercial sponsorship.
The third-tier teams are the Chinese team, the Japanese team, and the Dutch team, and the current strength of the Japanese women's volleyball team and the Dutch women's volleyball team is higher than that of the Chinese women's volleyball team.
Women's volleyball head coach Cai Bin said that the Olympics is a real test for the Chinese women's volleyball team!
As the three major balls that fans like, the Chinese women's volleyball team is the only world champion team that has won the Olympic Games and the World Cup.
At present, the main lineup of the Chinese women's volleyball team has been questioned by fans, who believe that the best players have not entered the national team!
Zhu Ting came back, but was not reused by Cai Bin; Zhang Changning is back, and only got a small number of appearances; Yao Di also said that he is always ready to return to the national team, but I don't know if he can be looked at by Cai Bin?
The good thing is that Lai Yawen participated in the suggestions of the national team, and the fans are looking forward to the fact that the Chinese women's volleyball team can be built into a truly powerful team, and under the inspiration of the spirit of the old women's volleyball team, the Paris Olympics will create brilliance!
