Vôlei masculino do Brasil em ação pela VNL (Mauricio Val/FV Imagem/CBV)
O Brasil entrou em quadra contra a China com amplo favoritismo, após ter feito uma primeira fase de Liga das Nações quase perfeita, com 11 vitórias em 12 jogos. Campeão em 2021, a seleção brasileira chegou no mata-mata em todas as edições da VNL, sendo um dos candidatos a vencer novamente este ano.
A China, por sua vez, é a grande zebra do torneio, já que avançou às quartas de final apenas por ser o país sede, depois de terminar a primeira etapa da competição em penúltimo, com apenas três vitórias. Inclusive, essa é a primeira vez que os chineses disputam a fase eliminatória desta competição desde que ela foi criada.
Então, após um primeiro set tenso, com uma boa atuação dos chineses, a China saiu na frente do confronto, colocando ainda mais pressão para a nossa seleção, que entrou com a “obrigação” de vencer. Porém, o time comandado por Bernardinho foi se acertando na partida e conseguiu confirmar o favoritismo, fazendo 3 a 1 e indo à semifinal, com parciais de 29 x 31, 25 x 19, 25 x 16 e 25 x 21.
China surpreende
O Brasil não começou bem a partida e sofreu bastante no primeiro set, errando muito e ficando atrás do placar em várias oportunidades. Os chineses chegaram a abrir três pontos de vantagem já na reta final da parcial. Por fim, a China teve seis chances de fechar o set, até garantir a vitória por 31 a 29. Zihua Wen (10 pontos) e Alan Souza (09 pontos), eram os destaques até então.
No segundo set, a China começou novamente melhor e ficou à frente do placar por algumas oportunidades, abrindo 17 a 14. Porém, o Brasil conseguiu ter tranquilidade, se aproveitar dos erros do adversário e virou, fechando a parcial em 25 a 19, com Alan Souza como o maior pontuador da partida neste momento.
Brasil cresce no jogo e confirma vaga
Veio o terceiro set e o Brasil teve muita tranquilidade, ficando à frente do placar o tempo todo, com uma margem grande de vantagem. Este foi o melhor período da seleção brasileira, que fez a partida esperada desde o início, com a defesa, bloqueio e ataque funcionando bem. Alan Souza era disparado o maior pontuador da partida, com 19 pontos. Ele tinha mais que o dobro do segundo maior pontuador do Brasil na partida, que era Lukas Bergmann, com 8.
Então, o quarto set era decisivo para o Brasil fechar o jogo e se garantir na semifinal, mas também foi tenso. A China chegou a ficar à frente do placar em diversos momentos, mas sem abrir uma grande vantagem, com as duas equipes alternando na frente. Mas, a seleção masculina de vôlei acertou bastante na reta final e conseguiu fechar a partida com 25 a 21.
Semifinal da Liga das Nações de Vôlei Masculino
O Brasil garantiu a sua vaga na semifinal da Liga das Nações de vôlei, fazendo companhia para a Itália, que havia vencido Cuba por 3 a 1 um pouco mais cedo. Amanhã (31), França x Eslovênia e Japão x Polônia disputam as última duas vagas. Vale destacar que a seleção brasileira vai enfrentar o vencedor do duelo entre os japoneses e poloneses. As duas semifinais serão disputadas no sábado (02), com a grande decisão acontecendo no domingo (03).

FOX Broadcast Booth Relives 15-Inning ALDS Instant Classic: ‘I Wanted It to Keep Going’
What’s it like to call the longest winner-take-all game in MLB postseason history? It's a booth where nobody moves for 15 innings, nobody even dares go to the bathroom. And you never quite know when someone is going to scream "BUNT!"I caught up with FOX Sports broadcasters Adam Amin, A.J. Pierzynski and Adam Wainwright on Saturday morning after the Mariners’ 3-2 win against the Tigers in the deciding Game 5 of the American League Division Series, a 15-inning marathon that led to a missed flight, a chance encounter with a Mariners legend and some special messages for the crew. Here’s what they had to say.(Questions and answers may be edited for brevity and clarity.) Have you guys had a second to breathe or at least and think, ‘I just got to call one of the more memorable games in recent MLB history?’Amin: I […]
The death of Mark Townsend at Hillsborough: What we learned from the inquest
On September 28 last year, West Bromwich Albion fan Mark Townsend died after suffering a cardiac arrest at Sheffield Wednesday’s Hillsborough stadium.Immediately, concerns were raised about the quality of care he received in the aftermath of the incident. “I want the truth to be out,” Mark’s brother, Steve Townsend, told The Athletic last month, ahead of a two-week inquest into the circumstances surrounding the 57-year-old’s death.AdvertisementAfter hearing seven days of evidence, Senior Coroner for South Yorkshire Tanyka Rawden concluded that, though Mark’s cardiac arrest was on the balance of probabilities “unsurvivable”, a lack of ventilation and drugs for over 15 minutes following his collapse was “contributory” to his death.Rawden was critical of the decision to involve both private contractor Lambda Medical and Yorkshire Ambulance Service (YAS) in providing Mark’s care.She described “confusion” between the two agencies, while acknowledging that this “did not […]

Can Premier League’s silent decision-makers learn from Bundesliga sporting directors?
The Premier League creates noise. It provokes comment, analysis, quotes and opinions from fans, journalists, coaches and sometimes even club owners.It’s strange, then, that the quietest community within English football consists of its decision-makers — the sporting directors and transfer gurus, people whose names are well-known but whose voices are less so.AdvertisementMore curious still, that this should be the case during the game’s capitalist age. In the summer transfer window that just closed, Premier League clubs spent a combined £3.11billion ($4.bn) on new players. The market has become a source of unending fascination. And yet those who determine its direction, who are in charge of transfer strategy, rarely speak about the teams they build or defend the sporting departments they run.When a signing fails, or a club finds themselves a midfielder short in November, it is the manager or head […]

Shohei Ohtani needs a ‘recalibration’ for the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NLCS
There is no overstating Shohei Ohtani’s importance to the Los Angeles Dodgers. So it was notable that they reached the National League Championship Series despite getting little offensively from the soon-to-be four-time NL MVP.Ohtani was the focus of every plan of attack for the Philadelphia Phillies, who deployed one left-handed pitcher after another in the National League Division Series. Ohtani had one hit and struck out nine times in 18 at-bats, with 16 of his 20 plate appearances coming against lefties.AdvertisementThe Dodgers, who won the series 3 games to 1, probably won’t face as many lefties in the NLCS, but manager Dave Roberts said Ohtani must adjust.“We’re not gonna win the World Series with that sort of performance,” Roberts said Saturday.The Phillies jammed Ohtani on the inner part of the plate with fastballs, making it impossible for him to extend […]
