Awww the Chinese girls were so happy when they won the game!! Their smiles are infectious :)

[@ceasariansabillo8153]

china sent team b in this match. team a was pulled out to.prepare for the world cup in Japan. chinas team b defeated italy and its a statement that lang ping has seen it all, made her adjustments. Italy in this match has the best players with egonu. Fun to watch however China still has the A game.

Wow.. Italy'smain weapon vs China's pool B..

The Italia court is very proud and look down on China volleyball team and he never research this Chinese volleyball team players. The Italia team is mostly rely on Egonu but without ZhuTing China can beat Italia because volleyball is team work and all the players are playing well together (team spirit) and not the one woman show like Italia.

True. They rely too much on Egonu.

中國這場好強喔！打擊意大利隊很不簡單，更何況這場中國隊員都是新手較多，不得不說實力進步很多，臨場發揮的很好👍

[@jf2602]

the highlights were all about Italy, who was ironically the loser. So funny

[@shermanpeabody6102]

Possible explanation is because this is China B team. They didn't expect China would win.

[@mazanisidik7969]

hahhaa... its so funny

Just do not understand people like you. It is an excellent collection of highlights.

Stop calling Professional volleyball player B. All players are professional there is no A B C not D team. Have and show some respect.

Do you have the full game of this?

[@parkchanyeols108]

Is Zhu Ting already injured that’s why she’s not in this game?

[@jasherochiapacatang5410]

Can somebody tell me where is China's pool A Like zhu ting, zhang changning, ding xiaw, yuan, yan,

[@cheungderek7464]

Lang Ping usually take vnl as training for new/young player, she let those young player to gain experience. For those experienced player like Zhu, Ding, just take a rest. They would get tired if they play too much competition.

刘晓彤打球真的特别聪明，手法巧，失误少

[@gletzrald9145]

Can someone enlighten me, if their are China's team B then why is Gong XY (Jersey no.6) playing here?

[@genericuser]

I'd think that China added some of the team A to add firepower and perhaps showing respect of playing in the final round.

[@yuxuan130411]

中国1队打意大利都是踉踉跄跄，输多赢少，赢也是险胜；怎么2队反而能打得顺利？意大利有主力缺席吗？还是爱格努前天失眠了？

[@刘汝-l2e]

因为战术体系被摸透了，一队赢过最难的一次以后，也没以前那么难了。以前艾格努的发球和扣球就是无解的。

[@nadsc4569]

It scares me Pietrini don't use kneepads :S

[@user-rf3ts1pd3f]

Quite fair would you say?

[@newyorkivan2145]

这一批中国年轻队员的后排防守和起球率 真的很棒。 特别是二传姚笛， 困难球 重球 防的太漂亮

[@刘汝-l2e]

姚笛的地面防守还是不如丁霞，传球稳，丁霞快。但是在前排的拦网高度上姚笛就太有优势了，看过她几个拦网很漂亮。

[@binsonlog5156]

而且这场球她太能晃对面，高光

[@Boymanjusri]

@@刘汝-l2e 丁霞的2号位传球太差了。根本立不住，没上去就掉下来了。业余水平

[@parkchorong8421]

係 暫時可以打支強心針 但對於意大利17號sylla嘅攔防 中國隊仍然做得唔好 希望2020年再次碰面會做得更好

[@jamesblunt3886]

[@shenhaochong]

意大利底线防守没有重扣防得好，18世锦赛被日本打到第五局也是因为这个道理。

[@onchung8310]

意大利教練沒有想過中國二隊球員都這樣好全埸被中國隊壓住加上他有一黑人球員丨7號冇上埸

[@刘汝-l2e]

龚翔宇本身就是一队的主力接应，刘晓彤拿过16年奥运会金牌，刘晏含也是入选过一队的。姚笛也入选一队的。所以说不是说安全的一对。应该是意大利的单点进攻被摸透了吧，中国一队第一次赢意大利的时候也是打满五局艰难获胜，之后再赢就轻松多了。
