    I think this was a really good choice of a video to analyze. The clash between a team with a very aggressive offense(Brazil) and a strongly coordinated team led to an iron defense (Japan) also shows just how good the teams balanced with each other, but Brazil is just a really good team. Hope to see more videos like these :)

    But I confess that Japan did beautiful blocks during this game. The team is great too.

      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

      @@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.

    It's so cool to see how volleyball has blown up in Japan. The fans always are so into it.

    Hi Erik! Just wanna say I have done subscribed your channel🤩. I started love watching volleyball when I watched Nishida and Ishikawa play. And it's getting interesting when an athlete himself making such wonderful series of educational yet entertaining videos, which is YOU🤗. Thank you Erik and keep producing more videos. I am rooting your efforts💪🏻💪🏻

    That was so fun to watch!! Thank you! I’m sure you’ve heard this suggestion, but maybe doing a reaction with yourself and another teammate or your brother or coach to have multiple perspectives would be a super fun to watch as well! I know it’s hard right now due to language barriers and a ton of other circumstances, but just an idea for you in the future!

      @@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.

      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

    This match is probably the match that made me love the sport,idk how many times I've rewatch it..to my new volleyball eyes,Leal is so freaking cool,I've always been blocked,but seeing Leal blasting at the block and sending the ball flying like 50feet in the air is just the coolest thing ever, it's like saying “you can try to block me but I will just blast through"
