Nation League Man 2023

I just give the photo: Miyaura and the ball

Perhaps Chinese men's volleyball team still didn't find the best players and coaches due to the things about politics and other factors.

Perhaps Chinese men's volleyball team still didn't find the best players and coaches due to the things about politics and other factors.  

Watching the Chinese men's game tonight nearly resulted in me getting a nervous breakdown... with depression to follow 🫥

They so nearly could've won

now a fan of China

I got to watch the games live today and the crowd energy is wild I was rooting for China to win the game after that 18-24 to 26-24 run they made. Too bad they fell short, but will cheer them live again in their next games

Where is the Chinese setter from last year tomen?

Quote from inc0gnito

Where is the Chinese setter from last year tomen?

He is studying in University of Tsukuba. He will be back after VNL.

I think only 10 people are in the arena including staff

They quadrupled the pricing so this is expected. I do not understand why did they do that though.

They probably thought that they could earn more. I checked SM tickets, the higher priced seats are still available for July 5 and 6 games, while already sold out for Jul 7 to 9 games. Attendance on the Jpn-chn match yesterday was over 5,800.

is this the Zaksa reunion party ? even both coaches are related to Zaksa

This chinese team could compete a bit if they didn't miss every single serve.

I still hate the referee!

Chen Lei-yang didn't set the ball in the opposite of the net!

What does Winiarski need to understand that this line up doesn’t work? At least not today.

He’s Polish coach, they do not understand too much.

Quote from WZP

He’s Polish coach, they do not understand too much.

I liked him as a player so I want him to be succesful but haven’t liked what I’ve seen from him. Not in CL and not in VNL.
