After Thailand created a shock when overtaking China in the dramatic match on the land of Tho NH, another Asian representative even made a bigger shock, which was Japan.
Encountering the host of the US and the world's No. 1, the reigning the Tokyo Olympic Games at the end of the weekend Volleyball Nations League 2022 (VNL 2022), not many fans can be optimistic about Japan's results in this match.
However, under the guidance of coach Manabe, Japan performed an extremely impressive and effective gameplay. Although there was no true pass, the two stitches of Koga and Inoue played extremely excellent.
The rear row is as solid as the “concrete pouring” of the Japanese volleyball, which is also promoted to help this team win the 3-0 victory in front of the world's No. 1 women's volleyball team.
Although the United States still has key dams that have not been battle, this result can be called a big shock that Japanese volleyball brings in a match full of surprises.
With a 3-0 victory (25-22,20,20), the Japanese team has reached the top of the rankings and became the only team that has not lost any match in the first week.
With 4 wins, the opportunity to participate in the top 8 of Japan is very bright. Under the coach Manabe, who brought back the London Olympic Games for Japanese women's volleyball, fans have the right to the rise of this Asian “great sister”.
