Everybody is talking about Ran Takahashi's offensive prowess but his defensive capabilities are on a different level. Playing Japan is like playing a team with 3 liberos (Yamamoto, Ishikawa and Ran) and 3 setters ( Ran, Ishikawa and Sekita). This by far is the best team Japan has ever assembled.
Japan MVT is really good at executing their transition plays. I love how they tightened up their defense even more. Congratulations, Japan. Well deserved win. 👏
I love that their offense has become more balanced. No longer relying on just 1 or 2 players to score. Others pick up when one player is struggling. And more importantly their MBs really stepped up for this game. They are a joy to watch every single time.
Yuji Nishida has a spectacular showing today compared to the game against Iran.He did play cleverly as expected of him that he'll bounce back with better results. Kentaro Takahashi and Taishi Onodera also showed us RJN MB full force today. Furthermore, Yuki Ishikawa, Ran Takahashi, Masahiro Sekita, and Tomohiro Yamamoto are all equally stunning and amazing. We love them for that.
Masahiro Sekita's incredible setting performance is very meritorious.Yuji with 24 pts,Yuki with 17pts ,and Ran with 15pts.all scoring in double digits. Yuji Nishida splendidly maximized his offensive power this time. Tomohiro Yamamoto will always be remarkable. Congratulations, Japan,nice game for Serbia!🇯🇵🎉
Asians please do not comment. Countries that are short and not good at sports are not qualified to comment. That's why Asian teams other than Japan are weak, they don't have NBA players, and they can't play football in Europe. 🇯🇵＝🐐 Asia＝🐒
Japan is undeniably the best team to watch. The amalgram of emotions you'll feel everytime they play is unexplainable. They're very hardworking and passionate and it shows. More power, Team Japan!
True, there's a huge difference between best team to watch vs best team in the world. Japan is indeed far from No.1 but the way they overcome their height disadvantages is just getting better and entertaining of course. They're some real humble and hardworking players
I have been following Japan and hoping to see when all the cylinders fired up in synch and finally. Great game but man Japan always improved in every aspect of the game and hope they continue to thrive at this level. Teamwork, combination, and enthusiasm are the way to play any sport. Love Team Japan from the USA. Great game for both teams🙏💪.
Kentaro at some point had like 10 attack points with 100% attack in percentage. Idk the how was it at the end, but that's kinda impressive. Not only that he's attacking well but also it means that the reception and defense is lit.
The trio - Yuji, Yuki and Ran showed up in full glory today. Yamamoto and Sekita were also brilliant. Credit also to coach Philip Blain for his master plan! Gambatte Nippon, best wishes from Malaysia!
Just watching Japan play is too exhausting already. What more if you play against them. It's just awesome. Unbelievable. Win or lose, I will always be a fan of Japan men's and women's volleyball team. Especially the men's. Love from the 🇵🇭.
What a great game from both teams... sekita mvp was well deserved, serbias blocks were on point, yuji had an exceptional game compared to the last game (70%attack efficiency with 24 points) Rans improvement is visible crystal clear, japans middles did a great job tooo and ishikawa? That man is exceptional... his out of system attacks are soo good.. and last but not least yamamoto is a monster like how do you even dig those balls... Simply exceptional game 👏👏
7:14 This Kentaro's play is amaging!! He won the battle against Serbia's MB in both of defense and offence. Moreover, Sekita has a great job as a setter. I like his play style. Congratulations!!

Игра, достойная финала👍🔥🔥🔥 Каждый раз восхищаюсь игрой японцев, видна страсть и любовь к игре! Хоть и импонируют мне сербы, но Япония…это уже другой уровень👌
Japan is a complete team now... They have 2 of the best spikers in the world.. i could say one of the best if not the best libero in the world, high IQ setter and a complete overall supporting roles and bench..
I think the Japanese team have become more explosive and powerful in their jumps and spikes. I'm not saying they weren't in the past but i think they've all improved a bit.
My boy Nishida is BACK IN BUSINESS babyyyy!!! His back row swings are just fascinating in so many ways and he made them count today 😎 Though I believe it was a team effort where others drew blockers around the court. Also the speed of Sekita-Ran is getting better, look at how many clean kills he got in this match!!
This is an outstanding performance of Team Japan and their floor defense and offense are out of this world. This is crazy! We’re excited to see Team Japan match in the Philippines next month. ❤❤❤❤
It's always joy to watch Japan playing. They're awesome. Very fast in their moves and seems flying when they spikes. They share their all smiles even when tired. That cute smiles coming always from Ishikawa and Ran Takahashi are the best smiles and I love it very much ha ha.
Japan hustles for the ball so well. They aren't lazy. To some degree I understand that laziness does work on the Volleyball court too, if you're very tall, and you just conserve energy, do minimal movement - try to be very efficient - but Japan just HAS TO play hard and hustle, because their average height is lower. I just love their discipline. The Japanese Volleyball team has heart.
There's no MVP in the team Japan all played their role brilliantly, Yamamoto digged a loooot of super hard punches ball from Serbia, the Setter Sekita sending the ball for all hitters very well, Kentaro gave a fresh air on the 3rd and 4th game which was nice his blocks and middle attack made Japan having so much options when they were on the attacking mode, Nishida even though some of his serve stucked on the net or out, but still he has the magic hands, Ran, Onodera and Yuki also played well.... Great great team work!!! Superb guys 🔥🔥 🎉🎉
As an Indonesian, love to see Japan's team who are undersize compared to american/european team. However, Japans can jump vertically so high & their agility to cover the court was amazing... Wow
there was a set in which sekita managed to catch the ball, before it fell to the ground, in the same way that ishikawa does with his foot. Different shots, but the same ways of receiving the ball. it was an incredible coincidence, especially being on sets that highly influenced Japan's victory. I love watching this team play. Sad that shot isn’t in this video, it was amazing to watch
Congrats Japan team👏.Once again I have to say, I really like the way the Japanese fans cheer, it shows respect for the opponent. The Japanese players on attack and defense did a great job. Looking forward to their next matches. a great match 👍
Takahashi is the most intelligent and one of the best players who always stays in the shadow, completely opposite to Nishida and Ishikawa who are always in the spotlight.
He didn't score the most points today but you can tell his speed caught Serbia off guard so many times and his serves were crucial to shift momentum back to team JP, what a player. But gotta give Ishikawa credits tho, his out of system plays are just as smart
Me quede asombrada, excelente partido y muy buen equipo el de JAPAN!!! Fighting team japan!!! From México :) Big Ishikawa I cant belive how amazing and well play ishikawa.
