Thoughts on the game
Italy's strength is obviously higher, and now it is terrifyingly strong! There are almost no shortcomings in each position! In addition to Agnu, the other positions are also very strong, the secondary attack is the top in the world, and the only thing that may be exposed is the first pass of the main attack and the second pass that goes crazy from time to time! I feel that as long as there are no ups and downs here in Italy, it seems that they have a chance to break the embarrassment of not entering the semi-finals in the Olympic Games, and even have the strength to sit on the two! It is more likely to enter the 21st century for the first time in a European country to win the championship! On the other hand, Poland basically can't beat the traditional strong teams, and when it encounters the main forces of China, Serbia, Italy, the United States and Pakistan, they are basically pressed to the ground and rubbed. Italy's blocking net is too strong, the pressure is too great, Poland wants to avoid the hand and makes crazy mistakes, and Nunu is difficult to play if he doesn't make mistakes!

Thoughts on the game
The two sides contributed a wonderful game in this game, the Brazilian women's volleyball team unfortunately lost to the Japanese women's volleyball team, very unexpected, the Japanese team's defense is not unusual, surprising is how their blocking net supports how to do so well, Japan's blocking net supports the defense organization to pass the ball and smash the ball in one go, and there is almost no destructive blocking of the net...... Through this matchup, in fact, the Chinese women's volleyball team played a good game against Japan, I just want to say that we lost Italy and Japan in the past, and we did play well! Why are people so powerful? As soon as the substitute comes on, it can make a difference, and our substitute is still playing with one foot...... Fortunately, the Chinese team avoided Italy and Japan in the Olympic group...... Put this ball in the Chinese women's volleyball training hall and play it on a loop! Thank you!!! The substitution of the two teams is enough for our women's volleyball team to learn for a while!!
