It must be said that some teams reached the semi-finals by strength, and some teams helped them reach the semi-finals by strength. In order to choose the grouping of the next few games, some favourites in the World Championships staged a scene of match-fixing, and Serbia was the most criticized.
Serbia had the strength to be the top of Group E, but they gave up. After the home team lost to the second-rate Japanese team, it was another bad performance. Similarly, the main force lost to the Netherlands 0-3, sending the Dutch women's volleyball team to the top of Group E and eliminating the Brazilian women's volleyball team. Although China won the second place in Group F, they didn't let Russia go. Instead, they played a good game and finally won the opponent, which benefited the United States.
Sports ethics is an important criterion to measure whether a team is worthy of respect. The rematch stage of 20 18 women's volleyball world championships ended all competitions, and the top six teams have all been produced. They are the Netherlands, Japan and Serbia, which ranked the top three in Group E, and Italy, China and the United States, which ranked the top three in Group F. It is worth mentioning that Serbia originally had the strength to be the first in Group E, but they hid some of their main players in the snow and lost to Japan and the Netherlands in succession, losing the first place in the group to the Netherlands, and at the same time sending the weaker Japan into the top six, and even "making" the Brazilian women's volleyball team out of the competition. This series of operations of Serbian women's volleyball team caused the outside world to spit out one after another, and was approved to have no sportsmanship after the game. On the contrary, Lang Ping's China women's volleyball team, even though it has qualified, still sent its main force against Russia and played a good game, which finally won the respect of the US team and other teams and taught the Serbian women's volleyball team a good lesson.
Serbia lost to a weaker team twice in the semi-finals. The biggest beneficiary is Japan, and the biggest victim is Brazil, which makes the outside world talk about it. Even Italian coaches and American coaches who have nothing to do with Serbia criticize Serbia for its lack of sportsmanship. "I also think the rules of this game are very strange, that is, there will be strange results. In the world series, our team failed to enter the top six. I believe that such a result in the competition will be discussed by everyone. " Italian coach Mazzanti said bluntly.
American team coach Killary also responded to Serbia's continuous upset and loss. "I am more concerned about the situation of our group, and I think this is a strange result." Killary is as puzzled as many fans.
