The Chinese women's volleyball team has arrived in Paris and started intense preparations for the Olympics. At 11 p.m. Beijing time on July 29, they will play their first match at the Olympic Games against the strong United States women's volleyball team. The game will be played late at night, and many fans will likely stay up late to watch. CCTV5 will broadcast live simultaneously, let's take a look at this heavyweight matchup.
The United States women's volleyball team won the championship at the last Tokyo Olympics, a result that made them one of the favorites for this Olympics. At present, they are ranked fifth in the world, and the squad basically retains the configuration of the Tokyo Olympics, and the overall strength is still strong. Especially in terms of bench depth, their advantage is very obvious, and the substitutes are ready to step up at any time, maintaining a stable competitiveness.
However, in the past two years, the United States women's volleyball team has had some problems in the setter position, and the setters have not performed as expected, which makes them a little stretched when organizing the attack. At the same time, the United States women's volleyball team lacks an absolute strong point that can single out the opponent at critical moments, which has been shown in previous games. What's more noteworthy is that the form of key player Bolt has become an unresolved variable, and although she has returned to training, the exact form of the competition is still unknown.
The Chinese women's volleyball team is also facing some challenges. The injuries of the players have worried everyone, the most notable of which is Zhu Ting's injury. However, Zhu Ting's return is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for the Chinese team. In an interview with Xinhua News Agency, Zhu Ting said that her back injury was no longer serious, and although some treatment was still underway, there were no major problems. She hopes to be at her best at the Paris Olympics.
Some netizens said on social media that Zhu Ting's return makes people look forward to it. Someone commented: "Zhu Ting's state this time is really too important for the Chinese women's volleyball team, and I hope she can lead the team to achieve good results in the Olympic Games." There are also fans who are concerned about the situation of the United States women's volleyball team, and one fan posted on the forum: "The second-pass problem of the United States women's volleyball team is really a trouble, and Port's form is also unstable, which is a big concern for them." ”
The Chinese women's volleyball team was divided into a very competitive group in the group stage of this Olympic Games. This group includes three strong teams: France, United States and Serbia. The match was scheduled to play United States first, then France and finally Serbia. This arrangement makes the Chinese women's volleyball team not only face challenges, but also a series of tough battles.
Everyone knows the strength of the United States women's volleyball team, and they won the championship at the last Tokyo Olympics. And the Chinese team has to face such an opponent in the first game, and the pressure is naturally not small. Next, the Chinese women's volleyball team will face France. France have also been strong in recent competitions, rising rapidly in the world rankings and in pretty good form. The final match against Serbia is also a tough opponent to be underestimated. The Serbia women's volleyball team has been very consistent in international competitions and is a difficult opponent to beat.
In recent years, the France women's volleyball team has performed remarkably in international competitions. They can play to the tiebreaker against strong teams such as Thailand and Dominica, which is enough to prove their quality. From the perspective of tactical characteristics, the offensive ability of the France women's volleyball team is relatively strong, especially in the main attack and the play of receiving players. However, their stability needs to be improved, which often becomes their shortcoming at critical moments.
On the offensive end, the France women's volleyball team mainly relies on the play of the main attacker and receiver players, and the attacking power of these players is one of their major advantages. However, the consistency of the first pass and serve is something they need to improve further. If these links can be further strengthened, the France women's volleyball team can show a stronger competitiveness against any opponent. Recently, some netizens said when discussing the France women's volleyball team: "The main attack of the France women's volleyball team is indeed strong, but the stability of a pass has always been a problem. If they can solve this problem, they will definitely perform better in the future. ”
Despite some shortcomings, the France women's volleyball team has shown good entanglement ability and tenacious competition against Asian and European powerhouses. A netizen mentioned in the sports discussion forum: "The France women's volleyball team is very combative, especially against those traditional strong teams, they can always drag the game into a stalemate." This fighting spirit is admirable. Another netizen added: "Although the France team still needs to polish their skills, their tactics and tenacity are already impressive. This kind of team resilience can often lead to unexpected surprises in competitions. "There's a lot of anticipation for how they will perform at this Olympics and hopefully they can continue to play to their strengths.
Some netizens also said when discussing these opponents that in the face of such a grouping, the Chinese women's volleyball team is really challenging. One fan posted on social media: "Our group is full of strong opponents, whether it's United States, France or Serbia, it's not easy to mess with. Especially in the first game against United States, I really hope that the players can play their best and strive for a good start. Another fan sighed: "This group stage is a big test for the Chinese women's volleyball team, and every game cannot be taken lightly, and we must go all out." ”
In addition, some netizens suggested that the coaching team of the Chinese women's volleyball team should be fully prepared. One fan mentioned in the sports forum: "In the face of these strong teams, the coach's tactical arrangement is very crucial. The strategy of each game must be adjusted according to the characteristics of the opponent, especially the characteristics of the United States and Serbia teams. "The general view is that although the opponents in the group stage are strong, as long as the Chinese women's volleyball team can adjust their condition and play their best, it is possible to achieve good results in this Olympic Games.
When analyzing the strength comparison between the Chinese women's volleyball team and the United States women's volleyball team, it is impossible not to mention their latest encounter. In this year's World League Rio, the Chinese women's volleyball team defeated the United States women's volleyball team 3-1. This game was not only impressive, but also gave the Chinese team a lot of confidence. However, the outcome of a game is not just determined by the individual ability of the players, but also by the tactical arrangement of the coach and the immediate performance of the players on the field. In the face of strong opponents, the coach's tactical arrangement is especially important.
The first game of the Chinese women's volleyball team will face the United States team, and whether it can successfully win the opening has become the focus of everyone's attention. Some netizens said in the sports forum: "Wins in the first few games can give us a lot of confidence, but this game against United States must not be taken lightly." They are strong overall, especially in attack and defence. Another netizen also commented: "Although we won against United States in the World League, the atmosphere and pressure of the Olympics are definitely different, and the team must be fully mentally prepared." ”
No matter what the result is, this game will become an important part of the Chinese women's volleyball team's Olympic journey, let us look forward to their wonderful performance.
