Ran is going to be a beast. His receiving has improved ever since he played libero and he’s also hitting sharper angle. Hoping Japan comes back even stronger next year.
@@phoenixaxe yes he is under a contract in padova until 2023 I think, and I think he only got to play as a libero in the last three matches because when he joined the team didn't get a lot of wins so he was utilized as a defense in the remaining matches to avoid getting relegated
@@osidjjtthbt6786 it's normal he's still young, he has a lot of things to improve and for now he's not yet at his peak, let's be honest he lacks a lot of things western players have, but if he continues playing for Japan they will definitely be one of the top teams in the world
Brizards development is so exceptional to me. I remember him taking over for the Olympics and he's been outstanding ever since. Also because he can do it all. Great setting, crazy touches on 1, great complementing blocking on a strong france block. I just love him.
Same here. And such a clever player in all his choices! He knows when to be bold and it very often pays off. Love Toniutti as well but the game always becomes that much more fun when Brizard comes on court.
Yeah, whilst Toniuti is a fantastic setter, what brizard brings to the other aspects of the game is huge for France. Serving: his aces and tough serving has been the difference for France more than once. Blocking: Toniuti can be a bit of a liability for France there.
Ishikawa getting injured at the worst time, Nishida getting massacred by the block and having the worst game he's had this entire VNL. Very unfortunate for Japan. Congratulations to France🎉 I believe they will be champions this year🇫🇷🏆
So happy to see my fave libero, Jenia, back on the my favorite team! Screaming, manning the defense and sending those amazing receives that allowed Brizard to set up his spikers! I like Japan but they are not at the level YET of France. So sad for Ishikawa’s injury and I hope he recovers soon. I think he would have made a big difference in this game if he played. Congrats Les Bleus! Let’s get to the finals again!
France has been my favorite team since 2016 and I am very happy to have accompanied them all this time, more now as Olympic champions and in an incredible state of game! Let's go guys! 🇫🇷❤️
Japan really missed Ishikawa, and France were as strong as always. That being said, Japan have made a massive amount of progress recently and I look forward to see them reach similar heights next year!
Good game from both teams! 🫶🏻 Congratsss France, the blocks was mindblowing. Always love watching volleyball for the monster block. And the entrance, LOVE ITTTT SO MUCHH. And Japan, it was tough but you guys gave a good fight, getting to QF this year was an improvement. I’m sure they’ll keep improving. It’ll be exciting to see. On the side note: whoever blew that freaking airhorn, let’s fight ayee.
C’est moi ou la France joue mieux sans NGapeth sur le court? Attention je ne dis pas qu’il est mauvais mais j’ai l’impression qu’elle est plus cohérente sans lui.
@@eddygodo4467 Pas du tout!! C'est juste qu'aujourd'hui, ils ont joué contre le Japon (sans l'un de ses meilleurs joueurs Ishikawa). Tu ne dirais pas pas la même chose si c'était contre les US, la Pologne ou l'Italie!! Ngapeth est clairement indispensable 😉😉
It was a great match to watch , and Im rly proud of japan theye r taking a big steps to be the best in a short time . We will get it the next time guys , I just know that
Even though Japan probably still would have lost with their captain, his absence means way too much more than that of any other player😢😢 Although the other OHs are good, none can level with Ishikawa. His selflessness during plays really helps bring out his teammates' strong points. Today Nishida was easily marked more without Ishikawa and he himself must have felt A LOT of pressure knowing he had to lead his team with the attacks🥲 Good job to Japan and great match France you totally deserve that spot in the semis!
this is the real problem of japan ... if ngapeth does not play in france team they can replace him with boyer or clevenot if ishikawa does not play in japan team they do not have players that can replace him
There was no match , it was like watching a boxer cornered cashing in punitions and struggling to stay up.Ishikawa,by far the best japanese player,wasn t there and Japan missed him. Nishida got an incredible amount of monster blocks and France kept spiking without encountering real resistence.The great japanese floor defence was not enough. Japan started the vln very well ,they gave everythink they could from the very beginning , but today we really saw his limits.France played well ang got a victory without any extraordinary effort.
As expected (even without Ngapeth on court). Having the King Libero Jenia back again just makes things easier for team France (although Diez did well in his place). Looking forward to some fun tough matches with US, Poland or Italy.
@@Thomas_Erickson They are very much interchangeable, Giani can play either of them. Patry is slightly better now because he has more variety of shots and does better out of system. Its great when you have such great players even on the bench.
@@yungwells6549 a year ago I would agreed 100%. But patry has gotten better and better, and Boyer has basically stagnated since 2017. Patry also fits France’s playstyle better and is more consistent. At this point Boyer is a backup you can roll the dice on.
France proved that they're Olympic Gold Medalist. Welcome back (amazing libero) Jenia. Merci! Congrats to team japan too. They out a good fight eventhough yuki ishikawa is not there to play. Arigato gozaimas! To: ishikawa & Ngapeth- Get well soon!
I really wanted Japan to win but France was amazing!😍 I don’t think my country Italy will beat France. So if we lose, I am going to root for the French team. I wish Ishikawa all the best and hope he’ll recover very soon.
@Marty don’t lose hope for your team 😊 We never know the future in volleyball (nobody would have believe in us for the Olympics but we’re the Olympics Champions !) I hope it will be a wonderful match tomorrow against our neighbors ! Will support Italy if we lose against you tomorrow ! 🇫🇷❤️🇮🇹
@@osidjjtthbt6786 I love N’Gapeth too. He signed my volleyball team jersey when I was 11, he was playing in Piedmont at that time. He and many others were my inspiration. I was rooting for Japan in this match because it was their first time in a quarter final. I have nothing against France, I admire them. I love both teams.
starting from the second set, the audience would blare their airhorns whenever japan was about to serve and sometimes when they were about to spike. This is the first time I witness attempted disruption in high-level volleyball and it felt extremely disrespectful to both teams.
It was your first time witnessing this kind of distraction, ok , you must be a new Fan. Though i agree with you, this shouldnt be done jn the future but those people who keep on blowing their horns are Iranians, its part of their norm whenever Iran is playing. Team iran played the next game after this match.
@@mh.brussels5919 The match was between France and Japan. Iranian fans had no business to make noise during this match since Iran team wasn't playing. I was there and many fans around me were annoyed by the horns, this video doesn't show how noisy they actually were.
Congratulations Team France on going to the SEMI-FINAL round ! Love and respect Team Japan ! What a great game on both teams ! Nippon Nippon Fighto Fighto from Thailand !
Its just that France is too good even without Ngapeth. Tbh, Japan even with or without Ishikawa will be struggle too. But this VNL Japan is much more stronger than last year. They improve so much. Otsuka too really improve so much in this VNL. Wish too see him play more.
Japan preparing the next gen with youngsters on the court for the entire match, and still getting close to taking a decisive first set is incredible. France deserved to win, but Nippon guys could really have gone further if they'd had to play against the others quarters-losers. 2023 will be your year 🇯🇵 !!
@@elrumi6341 tho tru, japan will probably continue to grow exponentially compared to other countries considering most of their team is built on young players with incredible potential as seen throughout the vnl
@@erumasglue to be fair, most of the teams have mostly young guys, the vnl is used mainly for that reason, to try and experiment. 90% of most teams are really young.
@@francybenz it used to be that way, but since the Olympic qualification rules changed and now world ranking is one of the important criteria, that’s not the case anymore. Teams can’t afford to experiment and risk lowering their ranking. So a young national team probably just means the best players in that country are young.
It's so good to see such a diverse and cheerful audience. And even Caterina Bosetti and Laura Heyrman (Louati is her boyfriend) were there. France's coach Giani was speaking in Italian during the time outs because most of the players played or play in the Superlega and understands it.
Just love Japanese national team, their style and approach but France was undoubtedly stronger this time. French block just nullified all the efforts of their opponents. Looking forward to see the final game.
Ishikawa I can't believe it 😭 Just at this moment The team really needed his Captain 💔 But we cannot lie ourselves It's hard to win France with the difference of bodies Hoping the team b has gained some experience in this vnl
I believe france is strong team, they deserved to win. But the noise from the crowd vuvuzela everytime japan served was so annoying even to me when watching in television. This is so pathetic.
Japan is such entertaining team despite lack of height and firepower. Funny cause France is like a better version of Japan, both are creative teams with good team chemistry and very good defense but french have far more athletic skills.
How ridiculous is it that there were one or two people in the crowd just blowing horns when it was Japan’s serve or even on their court?? I get that cheers and crowd noise can’t be avoided, but something like that just seemed really unsportsmanlike and definitely unfair. Japan still played well and France played phenomenal, but the horn just made me disgusted and disappointed.
@@ledionzace3102 Iranian fans were making noise with the horns, I know because I was there. They came around the 2nd set and started to annoy both players and fans.
@@francybenz Their team was playing next thats why they were there. And they are hating on team Japan because the VNL instagram account kept posting Japan beating Iran highlights in the lead-up to this match.
@@yungwells6549 they obliviously came just to annoy the japanese players. The first match was at 6 pm, the second at 9 pm. The majority of Iranian fans entered the venue around 8 pm.
No matter how much they develop, you can't teach height, and Japan will always suffer against big blocking teams because of that, not to mention that Japan themselves are bad at blocking
What are those background noises, cant imagine playing with the sirens everytime i would serve. Surprised they didnt enforce it. They went off everything Japan serves.
If you guys notice during set 2 and 3, the horn blowers are only blowing whenever Japan players serve and play. It's very much disturbing for us as the audience who watched on tv. I hope VNL kick them out from the venue. I am sure they are disturbing japanese players's concentration too.
@@remildamedrano8894 yess me too everyone felt the same. Many people already mentioned volleyballworld on twitter since the set 2 began but they didn't even do anything. Kinda disrespect Japanese players.
@@remildamedrano8894 the point of the horn is to be distracting. This ain't a silent sport like Tennis. This is akin to the crowd cheering and booing to create an atmosphere
@@ammarbaagu yeah but did that to only one team is kinda distracting and the crowds weren't full house so the sound was very loud like you are in the middle of war.
France and Japan both had their best player injured (Ngapeth and Ishikawa) which was unfortunate. Rough start from France in the 1st set , Nishida did not played well (4% attack efficiency , which is way below-average and for his standards). There were some good rallies though(which is the norm in a France vs Japan match).
Seems like team japan had a lot of new guys? These ones seemed not very used to hard serves But man, Brizard is insane when serving at the end of the set, he's fantastic. The semifinal will be insane
yeah, bc it was the highlights I wasn't seeing tons of names on the backs of jerseys but the ones I saw were not familiar names. I only recognized Takahashi, Sekita, Yamauchi (sp), Nishida, and libero (sorry I don't recall name) and I think I heard them also say Onodera (sp?). what happened to Fukuzawa, he is no longer on the team?
@@imsocleansofresh741 I see. thanks. I guess I was mostly watching the 2019 full games so I didn't realize the retirement in 2021. it is too bad Yanagida did not play
I think Japan has has a problem with the depth of his bench, there is not enough world class players. When Ishikawa and Nishida are on fire, the team is unstoppable. But when they are not good or not present, you need others players who carry the team on their shoulder and it's not the case. France won 3-0 with Ngapeth, Boyer, Tonniutti on the bench.
I'm french, and supporting the french team, (japan being the close second actually, butno team deserves this) and i hated that too.. I'm so disapointed... I feel like a lot of serves errors from Japan comes from this
@@hellcyte5259 Tu peux pas mettre toutes les erreurs qu'ils ont fait sur ça la France a fait la diff sur l'attaque et surtout au bloc au final les deux équipes ont presque le même nombres de fautes de service
Im noticing this noise whenever japan serve the noise went so loud and when france serve there’s no loud noises at all :( but anyway still nice game japan and congrats FRANCE 🇫🇷
Excelente juego de Francia que gano sin despeinarse contra un equipo de Japón que jugó bien pero no lo alcanzo contra un buen candidato y campeón Olímpico actual
Japan needs a lot of improvements in timing of the block. One can block anyone as long as the timing is good and correct. Also, it’s hard to find tall players in Asian countries so it was kinda hard for them to have tall players like Yamauchi, Onodera and K. Takahashi. Japan missed their Captain Ishikawa, both by defense and offense. But Yamauchi did a great job in encouraging the whole team as a substitute captain for this game 🤍. Come back stronger, RJN! 🇯🇵🎌

Tremendo el equipo Francés. Me encanta cómo juega Japón masculino y femenino, pero Francia estuvo poderoso
🏐
🙌
Francia posee un boqueo verdaderamente terrorífico, al igual que su ataque. muy completo. y Japón siempre encanta verlos jugar.
So sad without Ishikawa..... 😭😭😭
This French side is cracked!!
KUDDOS TO JAPAN THEY HAVE SMALL LINEUPS BUT THEY FIGHT UNTIL THE QUARTERFINALS.. love from jupiter
Those audience are something else.
What are those background noises, cant imagine playing with the sirens everytime i would serve. Surprised they didnt enforce it. They went off everything Japan serves.
Some toxic Iranians blwoing some fan trumpets
Be strong! Japan ❤️ They provided better results than last year well played team! See you next year🇯🇵🏐
Wow,, that's the best performance bye France team so far,,
If you guys notice during set 2 and 3, the horn blowers are only blowing whenever Japan players serve and play. It's very much disturbing for us as the audience who watched on tv. I hope VNL kick them out from the venue. I am sure they are disturbing japanese players's concentration too.
hope those blowing horns should be ban its very annoying i am distracted even though i'm only watching at home
@@remildamedrano8894 yess me too everyone felt the same. Many people already mentioned volleyballworld on twitter since the set 2 began but they didn't even do anything. Kinda disrespect Japanese players.
@@remildamedrano8894 the point of the horn is to be distracting. This ain't a silent sport like Tennis. This is akin to the crowd cheering and booing to create an atmosphere
I was in the venue and they sounded even more noisy...
@@ammarbaagu yeah but did that to only one team is kinda distracting and the crowds weren't full house so the sound was very loud like you are in the middle of war.
I think it's so disrespectful, the crowd trying to distract the players...
Truly Japan's middle blocks need some serious work...
My heart is still with Japan, but France always has been a complicated rival.
I wanna see them winning anything
So much respect to Japan for giving a great fight. Love from Iran!
My first time watching an actual volleyball game must say it looks fun👍🏾
We're glad you enjoyed it 😀
Japan was crushed in the absence of legends like Ngapet and Stephen Boyer-Patry, you are wonderful
やっぱフランスはレベルが違うね！日本はチャンスあったけど普通のオープンでのアタックはブロックされちゃうよね！ちゃんとレシーブしてコンビを組まないとブロックは避けられない！これで勉強になったのではないかな？
🇫🇷France🇫🇷 team too 💪🏼strong💪🏼 on this match, especialy Patry (and Clevenot) !
Good Game !
congratulation to france 🇫🇷💙❤ and respect to japan 🇯🇵❤ from iran 🇮🇷💚❤ . 🇮🇷💚❤💙🤝🇫🇷🇯🇵
نمال خواهشن
France and Japan both had their best player injured (Ngapeth and Ishikawa) which was unfortunate.
Rough start from France in the 1st set , Nishida did not played well (4% attack efficiency , which is way below-average and for his standards).
There were some good rallies though(which is the norm in a France vs Japan match).
What is the injury of Ngapeth?
@@atkiino849 Minor ankle injury , a precaution for the semis against Italy (and the World Championship in August).
What was that noise every single time Japan served smh
Grebennikov the best libero in the world! 🥇🏐
Seems like team japan had a lot of new guys? These ones seemed not very used to hard serves
But man, Brizard is insane when serving at the end of the set, he's fantastic. The semifinal will be insane
yeah, bc it was the highlights I wasn't seeing tons of names on the backs of jerseys but the ones I saw were not familiar names. I only recognized Takahashi, Sekita, Yamauchi (sp), Nishida, and libero (sorry I don't recall name) and I think I heard them also say Onodera (sp?). what happened to Fukuzawa, he is no longer on the team?
@@galaxy_mosaic3587 I think Fukuzawa already retired along w/ Yanagida.
@@galaxy_mosaic3587 Fukuzawa retired, but Yanagida was not called as a representative
@@imsocleansofresh741 I see. thanks. I guess I was mostly watching the 2019 full games so I didn't realize the retirement in 2021. it is too bad Yanagida did not play
@@オーぬ thank you. I did not keep up to date about the retirement. that is too bad that Yanagida did not play in these games
Parents of those France supporters must be very proud of their sportsmanship
I think Japan has has a problem with the depth of his bench, there is not enough world class players. When Ishikawa and Nishida are on fire, the team is unstoppable. But when they are not good or not present, you need others players who carry the team on their shoulder and it's not the case. France won 3-0 with Ngapeth, Boyer, Tonniutti on the bench.
Lol unstoppable. No.
@@lukasky03 Unstoppable is bit exagerated lol but when Ishikawa and Nishida are on fire, they can beat top team like Italy.
Indeed. They have world class players but the level of the whole team is just not enough even if they’re on top 5 in this elimination. What a shame.
Japan did rly good this year! They r a lot of fun to watch. Hope to see em even stronger next year. Congrats France!
ストレート負けたけど、絶対的なエースの石川不在でここまでやれたのは、すごいと思いました！この負けは世界選手権でリベンジ出来るといいですね！
How to know which players will be in Championship? 😕
France also withouth ngapeth and boyer
😔😔😔sad Yuki wasn't able to play. But GO RYUJIN NIPPON!!!
Well done both. Tho the supporters blowing that thing on every serve and spike from Japan… 🤦♂️
3-0 on Japan wow. Congratulations France
I hated the disrespectful sounds while the Japanese Team was Serving.
The sound of vuvuzela was really unpleasant
I'm french, and supporting the french team, (japan being the close second actually, butno team deserves this) and i hated that too.. I'm so disapointed... I feel like a lot of serves errors from Japan comes from this
@@hellcyte5259 Tu peux pas mettre toutes les erreurs qu'ils ont fait sur ça la France a fait la diff sur l'attaque et surtout au bloc au final les deux équipes ont presque le même nombres de fautes de service
Je met pas TOUTES les erreurs de services dessus non plus, mais ça doit pas aider.
La france mérite clairement la victoire
@@nrgeek6988 agree with you. 👏
Think’s god for the come back of grebennikov 🇫🇷❤️
Im noticing this noise whenever japan serve the noise went so loud and when france serve there’s no loud noises at all :( but anyway still nice game japan and congrats FRANCE 🇫🇷
Excelente juego de Francia que gano sin despeinarse contra un equipo de Japón que jugó bien pero no lo alcanzo contra un buen candidato y campeón Olímpico actual
Japan needs a lot of improvements in timing of the block. One can block anyone as long as the timing is good and correct. Also, it’s hard to find tall players in Asian countries so it was kinda hard for them to have tall players like Yamauchi, Onodera and K. Takahashi.
Japan missed their Captain Ishikawa, both by defense and offense. But Yamauchi did a great job in encouraging the whole team as a substitute captain for this game 🤍. Come back stronger, RJN! 🇯🇵🎌
@@phoenixaxe Oh, yeah! Sorry, I kinda forgot about them. Thank you for correcting me. ☺️
