Where yanagida lacks in size he makes up in athleticism, near perfect technique, and volleyball IQ. Dude is a beast. Not to mention dudes line shot is so freaking good the way he sells a body fake and then slams the ball line is just insane.
Agree at all. He is a very smart and perfect technique player, the spikes are shaped and good location, l also believe he can release the pressure of Ishikawa.
@@atkiino849 , I have not idea why he is not in the rooster, but whatever reason it is sad. He is such a smart, fantastic player. Perhaps, there are too many great players fighting for a place in the Japanese team, that he was unlucky and wasn't chosen this time. 🤨🤨🤨
gosh yanagida is rlly amazing. his form, his decision-making and the way he always plays smart is so impressive. he'll forever remain as one my my favorite players.
Wow the placement of his hits is so precise. His lines are a thing of beauty! Really good narrow cross angles too, and very confident pipes. Excited to see Japan in future competitions
@@cookiesimp4221 It was because he wasnt selected in VNL and Olympic main team, the coach thought he has weak blocks and stuff, probably because of the injury, we never really knew
yes ran takahashi and otsuka is talented and a good player.those two player still young. but they lack something that yanagida can offer. i dont see yanagida in japan national team , dont know why, maybe he not get selected so the young talent to get a chance to play but i hope to see yanagida back in japan national team again.
@@susucha8117 Just only his block not good enough for coach. Btw He can block Ngapeth & Nimir 1:1 in AVC i didn’t see how he lack like coach said. He still be the reliable player for team. I’m so sorry If i’m impolite to you. Let see the next season of V.League Does he can make magnificent performance to persuade Head coach.
@@thekoolzismWell physically he is short especially if they are against foreign teams with taller build on average. And i do remember there was that match where he played terribly and had to be taken off team.... He is old in sports age though so not surprised, the coach might prefered younger ones now to train them as to better investment in the longer run.
JVA should really have to include Yanagida again as NT team. Erase those who question his blockings, serving and height or even his age coz after the Olympics 20, he keeps on slapping them with awards and performances.
ran takahashi and otsuka are really good players. yanagida is a brainy spiker. as the volleyball director of japan say, yanagida is not good with his blocks or he is not good enough enough to be in the olympic roster this year which saddens most of the japan vb fans. ran is a good player. he played libero when he started volleyball and now plays outside hitter for the all japan vb team and again, a libero for pallavolo padaova with the same jersey number as yuki ishikawa. i believe every player has their strengths and weaknesses. 👍🏻
@@tobiascabrejas5154 he still is. He just returned and renewed his contract with suntory. i really hope that he'll be able to play with ishikawa and nishida again. (ᵔᴥᵔ)
