Unexpectedly, the Chinese male volleyball team was unable to make a surprise from the strong opponent in his 3rd match in Volleyball Nations League 2023.
Encountering the French volleyball team, the reigning team of the Tokyo Olympic Games is a great challenge for Chinese boys. The level and reality of the two teams are too different.
Even the most optimistic fans did not dare to expect a good result for the Asian representative and the match movements were also as expected of everyone.
France started better and quickly won the first Czech. All Chinese efforts paid off by winning Czech 2 after the chase score between the two teams.
But that is all that the Asian representative did before losing quickly in the remaining two Czechs. Thereby China lost to France with a score of 1-3 in this confrontation.
This failure caused China to be 12th on the current rankings and was completely at risk of being released if the rivals followed like Cuba, Iran, Germany or Italy were getting even a victory.
As for France, the reigning Olympic gold medals gained first after two matches and reached the top 8. This team will have a real challenge tomorrow when meeting the reigning runner -up Slovenia, a very difficult opponent.
