🇯🇵 JAPAN vs ARGENTINA 🇦🇷 | Highlights | Men's VNL 2024. Japan come back to beat Argentina! In the other match of the day in Rio, last year’s VNL bronze medalists Japan showed strength, beating Tokyo Olympic bronze medalists Argentina 3-1 (24-26, 25-22, 25-23, 25-19) without star outside hitters Yuki Ishikawa and Ran Takahashi.
Star opposite Yuji Nishida stepped up for the Asians, accounting for nearly an entire set with his 24-point performance (23 kills, one ace). 20-year-old outside hitter Kai Masato was also in excellent form, producing 17 points, with 16 kills and one block.
“It was a great result for us without two of our main players,” Nishida reacted. “Being able to defeat a strong team like Argentina without them means a lot to us. We had a great result on the VNL last year but it’s a new season now and we need to focus on winning each match.”
On the Argentinean side, opposite Bruno Lima and outside hitter Luciano Palonsky were the most productive players with 16 points apiece.
Yuji Nishida (西田 有志, Nishida Yūji, born 30 January 2000) is a Japanese left-handed volleyball player. Currently Nishida plays for Panasonic Panthers at club level.
The Japan men's national volleyball team (Japanese: 男子バレーボール日本代表) represents Japan in international volleyball competitions and friendly matches, governed by Japan Volleyball Association.
Their nickname is "RYUJIN NIPPON (龍神 NIPPON)", meaning "Japanese Dragon God" or "Dragon God of Japan" in Japanese.
