Asics needs to work harder

FIVB World Cup 2019 - Sept. 14 to 29, Japan

-
So FIVB is not going by the stats this time. I would say i agree with most of the individual awards.
I don't what you guys think about Wang Mengjie, but she has consistently been criticized in Chinese forums.

Queen Annie Drews

I would give Zhang Changning best OH and Robinson best libero.

Zhu Ting's latest weibo update, shall try my best to translate:
Proud to defend our World Cup title with 11 consecutive wins and present this as the 70th birthday gift to our country, China (it's China's Independence Day on 1 Oct). Coach Lang Ping reminded us before today's match not to forget our beginnings and to complete the task we've started. Victory belongs to those who work hard! We are always on the journey (to the peak). [Today] we step down from the podium, tomorrow we will continue working hard! (Taken from the team's slogan)

As usual, humble Zhu Ting. No mention of MVP at all.

I think Yuan Xingyue should be one of best MBs in this WC. Yan Ni has better blocking than Yuan, but Yuan's attacking is better.

I think it's because "best blocker." If there is Spiker award, maybe she can get one coz her efficiency is high.
Just my. 02

Yan has the best blocking skills for sure, she isn't called the "Great Wall" for funsies but I think Yuan did better than her in both attack and blocking in this tournament... But i'm not complaining, Yan deserves every award she gets because she is amazing

Of course Robinson had to vlog the award ceremony.

China sent chartered planes to pick up the girls back to Beijing.

And our 👑 Zhu...will be staying at home for the club season. She must be feeling super happy.

With the exception of Brazil.... China not only won this tournament but they simply destroyed every team into pieces.
Besides Brazil, every team looked like a bunch of armatures.
I knew they would win, I just did not know they would win this easily. Obviously in Tokyo only Serbia and Italy can compete with them. But Brazil is one team they will need to be extra careful with.

In one of the post-match interviews, Lang Ping cried..
Can somebody translate please?

Zhu got 2 MVP at the World Cup, but if I remember correctly she's not the only one, Agüero got it in 1999 and 2007

No, Gioli was the MVP of 2007 World Cup. Zhu is the first player ever in volleyball history to do this. Also, she has three MVPs from the three major tournaments, the most in volleyball history as well.
