The men’s team tries to attract the fourth set, but does not keep the rhythm in the partial fifth and is defeated in Maracanãzinho
The Cuban team has become a huge stone in the Brazilian shoe in men’s volleyball nations. For the third next edition, the opponent passed the team led by Bernardinho. As in 2024, the triumph of this Thursday arrived in Maracanãzinho, 3 out of 2 sets, partial of 27/25, 26/24, 21/25, 20/25 and 15/13.
Unlike the great debut against Iran, with 3-0 Wednesday, this time the green and yellow team heard the pressure and, even drawing a reaction to take a 2-2, ended up failing in a tie after being 3-0 and falling to the end.
With a victory and a defeat, Brazil now focuses on the game with Ukraine, scheduled for Saturday morning. The game in the League of Nations table this Friday will serve Bernardinho to regulate the errors presented against the Cubans, especially in the retreat. He will also have to improve the defense.
Brazil hesitates at the beginning and sins in the fifth set
Satisfied with the great presentation of Iran, coach Bernardinho has maintained the initial formation with Cachopa, Darlan, Lukas Bergmann, Honorato, Flavio, Judson and Líbero Maique. The changes arrived on the bench, with the opposite of Chizoba in the vacant place of Sabino and Matheus Pinha Centrale that replaces Thierry.
Defeated by Slovenia 3-1 on Wednesday, Cuba entered the court against the Brazilians in Maracanãzinho strengthened by the strong pointer Miguel López, spared the debut and saved in the hard game with the owners of the house.
The game started a little nervous and with many mistakes on both sides. Thanks to foolish mistakes in Cuban attacks, Brazil has not seen the rivals open an advantage at the beginning of the set. Just like before Iran, the green and yellow team took a long time to equip itself and forced Bernardinho to stop the game with a disadvantage from 9 to 6.
The “looting” of the commander was immediately immediately and the national team sought equality in 10 points with Darlan Attack and Lock Deviation. Brazil improved and, finally, the block stopped Cuba. The team started vibrating more. However, he had to hit the decisive retreat to his debut.
Fighting for all the balls, the Brazilian team became the score open from 18 to 16 with the half -ball of Judson, forcing Cuba to stop the game. Darlan’s attack began to enter, but the rival block and a new turnaround on the score was also present: 22 to 21 against and the time of Bernardinho. This time without success. The set of suffering and contested ended with the counterattack of Miguel López and from 27 to 25.
Brazil lost its first set and still suffered to stop the offensive actions of the skilled and aggressive lópez and mass. The errors were above the usual and the shy attacks, with many definitions only in the past balls, facilitating the defense and, consequently, the Cuban counterattack.
Bernardinho tried to reconstruct the Brazilian team that exchanged the young Lukas Bergmann with the expert Adriano. The game was again balanced thanks to the good work of the plants. A rare leadership came from 13 to 12 with Ace de Darlan.
The desperate screams of Bernardinho and the vulgarity on the margins of the court were a reflection of the square. Until the middle of the second set, Brazil has done everything badly, even trampling the line in the retreat, giving points for the opponents for free. The disadvantage increased with 26 to 24 for Cuba and 2 sets out of 0 on another set closed in the counterattack of López.
The third set began with quiet Cuba on the field and without seeing the Brazilian block stops their attacks, which suggested domain in a new part. A long challenge review well requested by Bernardinho (almost four minutes), however, served to cool the Caribbean and the team started walking in front.
In attack on the net, he opened 13 to 10, his greatest advantage during the game until then – he expanded to 15-11. Brazil began to “smile” on the pitch, finally showed its weapons and closed the partial 25-21 with Darlan.
When it comes to keeping the package in the search for equality, however, Brazil went back and Cuba soon opened 10-7. The counterattacks and the defense was missing. The back of the Cubans also wrote in the fourth set to have a good 15-1.
In a request for time, Bernardinho accused the calm from Brazil shaken under the shouts of reservations and the coaching staff of “Turniamo”. At the base of the claw, and with a growth in defense, the national team re-emerged by writing three points in a row and going from 19 to 18. The draw arrived with 25-20.
Torn off after losing a very forwarded set, the Cubans returned to the draw and soon Brazil opened 3-0, with an attack, a block and an ace. Brazil could not maintain the giant advantage and arrived the turn. In the bomb of López, the Caribbean opened 9 to 7.
Honorato replaced Brazil in the block dispute and then attacked for equality in 13-13. The T -shirt 8 went to the withdrawal below and saw Adriano not to enjoy the counterattack. Cuba closed on his first occasion with the judicial attack.
