In the two semifinals of the 2024 World Men's Volleyball League, world No. 2 Japan kept a clean sheet against world No. 3 Slovenia 3-0 (25-21/27-25/31-29). Olympic champions France narrowly beat world No. 1 Poland 3-2 (22-25, 25-22, 25-23, 20-25, 18-16). This is the first time in the history of the Japanese men's volleyball team that they have advanced to the finals of the World League championship and runner-up.
This is the first time in 52 years that the Japanese men's volleyball team has reached the final of a world-class competition. In 1972, the Japanese men's volleyball team defeated Bulgaria and entered the Olympic final in Germany! Since then, the Japanese men's volleyball team has not reached the final of an international competition. But with the rise of this group of men's volleyball teams, they have moved to the second place in the world rankings, and they will be the medal favorites in the upcoming Olympic Games.
In this game, Yuki Ishikawa scored 21 points, Yushi Nishida scored 18 points, T-Stern scored 20 points, Chebuy scored 12 points, and Payenke scored 10 points.
This group of hot-blooded guys with an average height of only 1.8 meters has written a new chapter in the history of Japanese volleyball with hard work! This year, the Japanese men's volleyball team and the women's volleyball team both entered the finals of the World Volleyball League, and the Japanese women's volleyball team also surpassed the Chinese team to become the No. 1 in Asia.
In the other semi-final, Olympic champion France defeated world No. 1 and host Poland 3-2. The two sides smashed the ball and scored 66-52, blocked the net 10-14, served 5-3, and the opponent missed 29-42. France scored 10.25 points in the world rankings and moved up to fifth, while Poland continued to rank first in the world, 46 points more than second-placed Japan.
Here I have to mention the Chinese men's volleyball team, we have very excellent physical conditions and the best training conditions and facilities in the world, and now we have also invited the former coach of the Polish team, Haining, to lead the team. But the men's volleyball team is very far from Japan, ranked 31st in the world, and even does not qualify for the World League, the Chinese men's volleyball team has a long way to go, but what is our problem?
