On July 1, Beijing time, the finals of the 2024 World Men's Volleyball League have come to a successful conclusion, and in the final final, France defeated Japan 3-1 and successfully won the championship.
In the bronze medal match, Slovenia lost 0-3 to Poland and missed the medal, the first place in the 2024 World Volleyball League sub-station competition both missed the podium, the Brazilian women's volleyball team won 12 consecutive games, lost to the Japanese women's volleyball team and the Polish women's volleyball team in the semifinals and bronze medal matches, and the Slovenian men's volleyball team lost 11-1 in the sub-station match, and lost to the Japanese men's volleyball team and the Polish men's volleyball team in the semifinals and bronze medal matches respectively.
France is on the top podium again after a year, although the Japanese team's fast attack, defense, and tandem are still excellent in this game, but the well-prepared French team is more targeted in the blocking link, and the small ball tandem is also delicate, but the net has a high advantage.
The Japanese team, which has the title of "Bloody Volleyball", is worthy of recognition, excellent small-ball skills and tenacious defense have impressed the audience, and they have achieved self-breakthrough at a time every year, if it were not for Takahashi Ran's absence due to injury, Japan's strength would have been stronger.
