Display MoreNetherlands and Brazil was a nice game..I think that Netherlands can play well with Brazil or with any other team when they server well...but when they begin to make a lot of mistakes in service they do not have a chance...Kooistra did a good job in service in this game...Bontje's service is so ridiculous that he should try another type os service rsrsrs..Kooy played well today and i think that he will be the best player of Netherlands in a few years. Klapwijk played well yesterday and today...Netherlands needs a better strategy of service, because without that they can play good games against Brazil and at the same time lose to Macedonia...
About Brazil i just wanna say that Murilo is the main player of Brazil in this WL..He is in an amazing shape. I hope that Bernardinho will use Dante and Murilo as OHs..
Other game that a liked in this weekend was Germany and Cuba..Both game were nice to see...I think Lonzano should try Grozer as OH (i remember that he played as OH in Friedrichshafen when Sung Min Moon was there) because a team with Grozer and Schops would be stronger. But Germany is doing a good job in this WL and i hope that they can reach Final 6.
About Korea, what happened to them?? They were so well in last WL and now they are not playing well..Where is Chul-Woo Park (lefty attacker) ?? He and Moon are the best players of Korea..Korea should try taller MBs..
Poland and Cuba will be the best and decisive game of next week..I hope to see two good games between them...
I agree with you in general. Service is indeed the breaking point of the Dutch game. It can break the opponent or it can break the Dutch themselves !! Klapwijk, Kooistra, Bontje, Kooy, Rauwerdink...they all (!) can serve bombs and they all proved it in the past several times, in club and also in NT, but this WL hardly one of them shows it.
If you just see this WL-campaign I agree Bontje should change his serve, but in the past his serve was often a big weapon for the team. The same for Kooistra. Today Kooistra showed that he can serve bombs, but he can still do better (more consistent).
Kooy can become a great player and I think in two/three years he is much better than Horstink. The amazing thing is he started playing volleyball only 5 or 6 years ago !!! People in Dutch federation say because of that he can still make more progression than others.
