Losing weakness in the US, Brazil officially became a former VNL king
Just a few weeks ago, Brazil lost pain with a score of 1-3 against the US despite having the strongest squad. Therefore, today's rematch is not only an opportunity for the Samba team to reclaim the debt in the group stage, it is also a strong assertion for their return.
When the hands beat their form, Brazil gave the image of the No. 1 team in the world for a while. Lucarelli helped Brazil lead most of the set time. The United States also had a strong response thanks to the scoring phase of Aaron Russell and a very uncomfortable row, but they had no talent to shorten the gap. With 2 consecutive scores from Yeandy Leal, Brazil had a favorable start with a 25-20 victory in set 1.
Everything changed 180 degrees in Set 2 when the American dams caught up with the match and made Brazilian players completely surprised. Power in attack, firm and durable in defense, the US team did not give Brazil had any chance to equalize before Aaron Russell scored the decision score 25-22 to end the set.
The return of Lucas Saatkamp has helped Brazil improve the ability to play on the net. Even so, the gap of scores still could not be stretched before the ball and the power of the US on the US side. After the continuous changing phase from both teams, the United States finally risen thanks to the excellence of the row. And the excellence of Torey Defalco helped the United States overcome Brazil with a score of 25-23 in a dramatic set.
In the play set that Brazil was not allowed to lose, they played down and let the opponent create a big gap in scores. Making too many personal mistakes, Brazil can only blame himself for playing too badly in Set 4 and must receive a defeat of 17-25. Yandy Leal and Lucarelli had a bad day, but they were unable to save Brazil from a defeat of salt against the US.
The South American volleyball team has regained this situation after a brave 3-1 victory over Brazil (20-25, 25-22, 25-23, 25-17), and also became the first team. Tien won the right to the semi -finals of VNL 2022. The opponent of Torey Defalco and his teammates will be the winning team in the match between Poland and Iran.
Meanwhile, Brazil had to leave bitter in the tournament they had just crowned last year. They may even lose the second position on the world rankings into Italy or France. Obviously, VNL 2022 is really an extremely unforgettable tournament for the team that once dominated the world volleyball tournament.
