Immediately after taking the lead in the world rankings, the Brazilian women’s volleyball team had to face a somewhat symbolic challenge: facing Turkey, the former leader of the rankings. And if anyone still doubted the Brazilian team, they no longer doubt it. The Brazilian girls put on a show this Sunday morning (16th), authoritatively beating the Turks by 3 sets to 0 (25/14, 25/14 and 25/19). The clash also closed the first phase of the competition, which returns in playoff format on 20 June.
Overwhelming start
Brazil entered the field with the formation considered the title. Thus, coach Zé Roberto fielded a team with Roberta, Rosamaria, Gabi, Ana Cristina, Thaisa, Carolana and Nyeme (L). The starting lineup did not disappoint and the team completely neutralized Turkey’s action in the match
Situation at VNL
This was Brazil’s twelfth victory in the women’s volleyball Nations League in twelve matches of the competition. The Seleção closed the first phase of the tournament without any defeat and with the solitary lead in the standings. The Brazilian team will thus face the worst ranked of the eight VNL teams, in this case Thailand. The opponent is precisely the host country of the final phase of the competition, which was already guaranteed in the playoffs even with only three victories in the tournament.
