2022 SEA Games (May 12–21, Vietnam)

    Looks like:


    Display Spoiler

    Maybe not, but volleyb's post above is on

    No Majoy action :(

    PHI Starting Lineup ... please correct me if I got something wrong


    Setter:

    #1 Kyle Angela P. Negrito


    Libero:

    #5 Dawn Macandili (defense)

    #8 Kathleen Faith Arado (receive)


    OP:

    #7 Mylene Paat


    Middle Blockers:

    #3 Jaja

    #18 Marivic Meneses


    OH:

    #6 Frances Xinia Molina

    #15 Alyssa Valdez


    Dub Sub:

    #32 Setter Iris Tolenada

    #20 OP Katrina Mae Tolentino

    Jaja's pretty much scoring at will

    The thing about Malaysia is they don't have enough experience with what to do when things don't go according to plan. Their reaction time to loose balls is way slow


    Passing not so good either. Poor #6 I think it was. Tried to pass a free ball and it went the wrong way and she got yanked


    I like the way Malaysia setter #19 takes a deep breath before serving. There's that :rose:

    Well, opening match wasn't a thrill ride (especially without Majoy) but it was a nice introduction. Nice to see Jaja in this context. She seems pretty powerful in comparison to others. Both PHI setters are camera ready :heart:

    Really liked to see the duo Santiago/Valdez in action for the NT, interesting they're in the same net rotation... i liked both setters, especially the one that force middle balls setting from almost the 3-meter line. i think it was Tolenada.

    Hope this team can get a medal, they were so kind when came to Brazil. Best of luck coach Jorge!

    Oh yeah .... their coach is a Brazilian guy, right? What's his full name?

    Anybody know where stats might show up for this?

    Quote from jovb pasion

    yeah!! his name is Jorge Edson Souza de Brito, former middle blocker from Brazilian NT, and an Olympic champ in Barcelona 92.


    here's some more info: https://www.fivb.com/en/media/…ional-volleyball?id=96748

    That's pretty cool.


    "FIVB approved 12 months of coaching support for the team which began this July [2021]. As part of the project, the FIVB appointed Head Coach Brazilian Jorge Edson Souza de Brito ..."


    ps - he's registered on volleybox. I wonder why he didn't add himself to the PHI team :/

    yeah, that's an whole project, i noticed some Brazilian coaches in another NTs like Luizomar, Osasco's coach in Kenya for the Olympics, Rafael Petry in Mexico, working with Bricio; Paulo de Tarso with Ruanda, Rizola is doing a great job in Colombia, but that's a older project... and hope many others.

    Quote from Genius of the Sky

    Philippines gonna win a medal this year. I can feel it!

    I had forgotten they finished in last place (of 4 teams) in 2019 .... because Malaysia wasn't there, I guess. They were flailing, lost the bronze in a tie break to Indonesia
