Bulgaria's reception

Look at Dutch girl's body language right now
, They're ready to give the Germans hell of the match. -
Hup Holland Hup !!!!
-
Matienko's injury might cause a minor issue with double sub tactic , but Russia's gonna be fine without her and right now Russia has a good team spirit unlike the team in London.
-
Matienko injuried her right thumb. She went to the hospital after the game, and seems that is was not a simple thing..so she might miss the rest of the tournament.
they will have a better diagnosis later.
She got that injury in the 2nd set from blocking the ball at the score 5-6 . Hope she gets well soon even though she's out of this tourney.
Some interesting things in Russia team .
- Kosheleva and Morozova with new serving style ( jump float serve), It's quite effective
.
- Kosheleva's new hair style and Shlyakhovaya from blond to brunette
. -
Russia had a lot of trouble in the first two sets, especially Chaplina with her bad reception and Matienko went back to her " "true form"
. In third and fourth set Russia played much better with Pankova as main setter and Pasynkova in reception.
Morozova stll be a Queen of blocking
but she has to adjust to Marichev's new attacking tactics. we should give her time.Marichev let all players played today. Malykh did a decent job . Dianskaya still had a problem with blocking because lacking ability of anticipation ,hope she will get better
.Next match with Croatia gonna be an interesting match.

It was far too easy for Russia. Poletaev+Pankov this duo has very bright future ahead of them.

"I don't know why they avoid to play with the starting six against us. We're never holding back. Maybe that's the reason we're twice OG champions, and they aren't".
Sheilla just said that for the Brazilian reporter in Sapporo.
I agree with Sheilla , Brazil's commitment is second to none, we can see it in every tourney that they're participated. Respect to Brazil team.
-
Congrats Brazil well deserved .
-
A walk in the park for Brazil, zero effort by any team to stop them. what a pity.
-
No miracle for Italia
-
A good match from both teams .As expected 4 teams from Group D in Semi-final.
I think the most dangerous team right now is Italy they are a die hard team. -
What an exciting match !!! still hoping for 5 sets though .
-
Brazil comes to Sapporo in full force ,only China with Zhu Ting can stop them.
