Tainara and Gabi were the protagonists of Brazil’s straight-sets victory over Thailand in the early hours of this Sunday (02) in the VNL
The women’s volleyball team concluded the second week of the Nations League (VNL) against Thailand in the early hours of this Sunday (02). José Roberto Guimarães shuffled the team that started the match, choosing Julia Bergmann, Macris, Diana and Natinha among the starters. Brazil starts to play badly when the ball is turned over, but Zé Roberto goes to the bench to reorganize the team and let Tainara play. The opposite was the best scorer among the Brazilians together with Gabi, with 13 hits, and so Brazil won the match by 3 sets to 0, in scores of 25/22, 25/14 and 25/17.
In the first set Thailand started to play more aggressively than Brazil. With the serve in place, the defensive system was able to stop the main attackers of the Brazilian team and the Thais had the peace of mind to play from the lead. Thailand also had an even distribution of setter Natthanisha to stay at the top of the table. Seeing Brazil’s difficulty in turning the ball over, Zé Roberto was punctual in favoring the entry of Tainara in place of Rosamaria at the end of the set, who had not performed well in attack. Thus, the Brazilian serve improved and with more power in attack, Brazil resisted to turn the game around in the final stretch and score 25/22: 1 to 0.
Tainara started in the second set and Brazil played more calmly, with the ball flowing better. With the serve in place, the Brazilian block appeared and destabilized the Thai defensive system. Thus, Thailand’s attack suffered a decline in performance and Brazil was able to take the lead and control the game from the lead. At this moment, Zé Roberto’s men score in the second half 25 to 14: 2 to 0.
Thailand came back to tie the match in the third set, but Brazil managed to manage the match by controlling the number of errors. The opposing team forced serves more than Brazil and therefore committed more errors on the ground. In turn, Brazil controlled their serve better and, in this way, destabilized their rival’s volume of play and, with Macris’ good distribution, closed the third half at 25/17, winning the match 3-0 and maintaining the unbeaten record. the VNL.
