That's why sometimes I write my blog in English as what I am doing now
Left the gymnasium 10 mins earlier last night as I had to rush to home to prepare for watching the match
Russia vs Brazil
Made myself ready at 11:30 after bathing
A tight game as I expected? Sorry No!
The fact was a poor game that I never imagined
I was completely disappointed with them
Poor receive, poor defense, poor organization and most importantly poor attack, which should be their strongest part
Even Soko….not in good condition?! Many unforced error were made and really poor organization
I just think that the match was the copy of their last match with
USA
, but this time they were
USA
Akulova was not performing well, poor cooperation with other team members
This was the first match Maria had such little chance of attack (Of course poor receive made this happen too)
I can say that all of them were getting loss in the court
Poor receive resulting in lack of variety of attack
Spiker and spiker at position 4, but
Brazil'
s perfect blocking made them loss all their chance
Only Maria kept staying at the court, other team members were substituted by one another
I cannot agree with head coach this time
Yulia and Kulikova performed not well in the first set, should use Bruntseva and Safro earlier lah~
Most importantly was setter, I didn't understand why head coach insisted on sending Akulova to the court
He finally gave chance to Sheshenina in the second half of third set
Although Sheshenina was foul during her first attempt, the pattern and rhythm of attack had improved right after
However, it was too late
When the score went to 19:24,
Russia
got 3 marks and came to 22:24
A copy of the Olympics semi-final? I wanted to! I really hope so!
But magic moment would only come once
Finally they lost with 3 straight sets
Completely disappointed!!!!!!!!
Sharapova GO~ Russia GO~
