Team USA Libero Reacts to Japan vs. Brazil World Cup 2019 

I tought is more russia the final boss

@@Adam-xl1wi they're both powerhouse

@@andhikariza8226 brazil is #1 and russia is #2 tho

@@Adam-xl1wi didnt japan beats Russia in the world cup?

That guy's vertical is insane. Probably jumps like 42+

In volleyball the liberos avarege around 6'0"+ so yeah, Nishida and Japan in general is very small

Nishida not even 5'10

@@valentinemorales8100 Nishida is either 6'2" or close to it. Masahiro Sekita is around 5'10" and Nishida is noticeably taller than Sekita. Google is free you know.

@@hastethethird5956 hes is 186cm which is closer to 6'1 and we know that they measure volleyball players with shoes on and they round up so he is probably 182-183 barefoot which is 5'11.7-6ft barefoot which is 4-8cm(2-3 inches) taller than average depending on where you live that's the point when someone can be considered "tall" and for Japanese standards even more so since the national Japanese average height for men is 171cm

Menino, vc por aqui? Chocada que o líbero tem um canal

It was a great vídeo to analyze!!!

For me Brazil is always the team to beat, they are too good.

Brasileiro safado

@@danielrennan2784 kkkkkkk

verdade.

@Caiman Araújo no hay nada malo con que conteste en inglés

Straight up facts dude

Mas a pessoa se dá ao trabalho de né responder como se fosse uma tia velha puxando orelha de menino. Não vou entrar nessa baixaria. Você viva feliz com sua opinião, e eu com a minha. Expresso-me em português ou inglês quando é onde eu quiser. Paz e bem.

@Caiman Araújo I have no idea what u said in that paragraph cuz I dont speak portuguese, I do speak spanish tho

Thank you so much!

@@ErikShojivolleyball oaaa thanks, it's a huge honor for a player of your caliber to answer me! I love your channel!

I think it might be because being tall in this sport is such an increadible advantage. that means if you are shorter you need to be 10 times better. Brazil is pretty tall and therefore there will be a lot of people who think they dont "deserve" the cred to win against a short team like Japan. Japan plays better they are just short thats all. It makes the sport a bit unfair but a sport is a sport and as you say all Athletes have deserved a spot in the team. They are all amazing. Japan is just a bit more exiting to watch

I ask that to myself every time! It’s just part of their culture!

@@ErikShojivolleyball As a Brazilian, I can say that the "soccer addiction", even though is real, that is just the tip of the iceberg. A lot of brazilians are sports aficionados that dedicate themselves to different sports, volleyball being one of them. And when you have that generation after generation you basically keep getting "fresh batches" of potential good players. On top of that, I believe we also have good trainers to help these athletes grow and mature into what you see in videos like this. It isn't really a "one factor" thing, but rather, there is a set of facts that help foster players, trainers and overall teams like this. What Erik says about "part of the culture" is totally correct, though it is also the oversimplification of what happens. Disclaimer: I am a volleyball fan, not an expert, so I don't hold professional value on my opinions, so take them with a grain of salt. PS: Loving your videos Erik!

After you form a Champion generation more generations mirror this excellence. And Brazil has the right components, people willing to practice and right structure for a high level professional national tournment.

@@ErikShojivolleyball That's honestly a great concept, I'm brazilian myself and I don't even know why we are so good at it... our main sport is obviously soccer and volleyball was never really taught in schools at all until a few years now... really interesting hahah

Mensa, i'm brazilian, i can Tell you, soccer its our number one sport, and in my opinion, volley its the number two

also nishida got an injury i believe?

Same at 5:50, 4 from japan are completely synchronized. Japan has a lot of discipline

I saw somewhere that it's to "deceive" the server when he's targeting someone, because the server aims and they move to the side right when he tosses the ball up, that way the person receiving is other

yep the guy is amazing!

@@Eilanzer If you or anyone else is curious, his name is Ricardo Lucarelli

That's why he's the captain! 😁

Splatter step

wow thank you so much! hoping to convert non-vb people into vb nerds! hahah thanks for watching and for your support!

Why do you think so? Just curious

@@maliha3305 Japan's Volleyball team is generally shorter than lots of National teams. and in volleyball, where height is king, Japan can greatly benefit if their current players were taller due to the higher block, higher spikes, etc. Japan has an amazing volleyball team and has shown how strong they can be and are only getting stronger! Just imagine Nishida if he was 6'6, not only is he already blasting thru blocks, he would be going over them more than he already does.

@@aa_xiv facts Japan would easily dominate

They still can reach as high as Brazilians 334cm spike and 328cm block for Japan and 337cm spike and 326cm block for Brazil so it's not like their lacking in that aspect i think they would have to completely change their playing style so much so that i think they would be worse

@@aa_xiv the age old argument of if * blank * was taller doesn't really work because if nishida was 6'6 he would be slower and heavier and wouldn't play like he does he would probably still be a great player but his plays would be way different and would probably be a worse fit to Japan's Team

Yay! Go do it! 😀😀

Volleyball Watchdog uploads at this angle

i totally agree

Its not a good angle for the televising company actually. They need to show the sponsors and stuff

they played together since they were teenager so yeah, they can just telepathic to each other of what they're going to do.

thank you so much that means a lot! i hope you keep watching and keep practicing vb! more videos to come!

Thank you so much! I love all kinds of vb!

volleyball nerds unite! ;)

And they lost

Japan has no chance

3x0

Sasage yo

Thanks so much!

Incredible plays on an incredible play!

yup its crazy what you have to do to trick hitters who are trying to get a wipe(tool) off of you.

thank you! thats my goal so thanks for saying that!

That’s amazing. Japan is definitely the national team with the greatest potential to grow.

samee heree!! SHOYOO !!!

it works so well when you get the timing down, i feel more confident when receiving now lol

So this angle is available only for players?

@@Saraa147 I'm assuming it's recorded by a team staff (like the people that video tape the next oponent for info). But that's just a guess :)

@@cyrussin2292 I see, I guess it's something like that

thank you so much! unfortunately tv rarely shows this angle.

this angle is usually more for teams and coaches for scouting.

Yanagida is Japans foundation

Thank you for watching! Can’t wait for you to get back on the court!

@Caiman Araújo darn Leal is whom I meant. Thanks.

thank you! more videos coming!
