France is indeed on their peak momentum right now but it was a tight game. Aces dont justify the whole team power. Moreover, USA is still adjusting with some newbies. Nonetheless, France is a very solid team currently and they deserved it.

USA, and Italy are the best rising star teams in the tournament. i was so amazed by the new players in both sides specially in the us side. they performed really well. i thought head coach john sperrow was gambling with these new players in the 1st week of vnl. i expected he might bring players like holt, anderson and sanders when they got to quarter finals but he didn't he stick to his players and they surprised everyone. well played usa well played in deed.

@@jimmystewart1974 Thank you 🙏 After the horrible 2020 Olympics we had I was surprised Speraw still had a job, but I like the way he approached this VNL and how he used our younger players with the veterans. Yes Italy is definitely rising. Giannelli is such a star and Michieletto especially has such potential.

[@supremeabsolutism5678]

@@laurenw.8009 I’m astounded also how US came back to win the 3rd and 4th sets. Remember, they’ve beaten France come-from-behind also in the prelims in 5 sets in the third leg of this tournament in Osaka, Japan. It’s such an opportune time for France to avenge that loss in this most important match, Gold Medal game. Honestly, I’m pretty expecting France will sweep them in straight sets lol, since I’ve been criticizing in recent tournaments about US’ inconsistency. Lo and behold, it seems they’re getting rid of such state among players themselves. Meanwhile, France has been consistent in the recent years and capping that one off with an Olympic Gold medal in Tokyo 2020. Teams will definitely be all-out in the upcoming World Championships this Aug-Sept 2022. For certain, this would be really exciting. P.S. Kinda missed Tay Sander, as he has been to the Beach Volley. Their chem with Micah is impeccable.

Just when Brizard stole the show with thumping Aces in 5th, the Legendary magic man Ngapeth comes out with the SINGLE BLOCK on TJ DeFalco 💞 and expresses....'You are not fetching MVP from me at all' ....❤️😂💞💞

[@yungwells6549]

The starting 6(7) for France is dream team on its own. Brizard is so clutch. He took victory for his team in the 5th set of both the Olympics and VNL gold medal match. MVP of the match for sure. Patry is the foundation of team, so consistent in both attack and serve. Ngapeth is GOATed, he takes points for his team that they otherwise wouldn't get and could add up being set losing but he always pulls them out of trouble. Grebennikov GOATed there is no need to say more, he's the best period. Clevenot when he is on there is no stopping him. Le Goff worldclass at the top level for years, its hard to maintain such a high level of play and he contributed a lot this match. Chinenyeze is a player everyone should be afraid of. So young but already at a level most don't reach. If he keeps progressing he'll be an absolute beast by next year. Plus we have witnessed improvements in his serve since the beginning of the VNL tournament. I would love to hear the crazy-pathetic excuses from the doubters and haters now (why Im glad it went to 5 sets as well, less excuses to be made). That's like a self report about not knowing volleyball if you still can't see the skills of this team. They have been one of the top teams for many years now and still get treated like an underdog, despite multiple world titles in their pocket. These same guys have been together playing their vollleyball for almost 10 years (Chinenyeze being the youngest/newest starter) and now they are seeing the product of that in a blooming golden era. This didn't just happen overnight. I love their chemistry and I can't wait for Paris 2024. Keep it up boys!

[@gillesgenete9598]

I do agree with your analysis , adding that Brizard has become a booster for the team. The serve errors of N'Gapeth are probably due to fatigue as he get older (31?)

[@yungwells6549]

@@gillesgenete9598 His serve is the same it has been for the past few years IMO. High risk high reward tough jump serving. Sometimes it pays off in service runs (like yesterday) sometimes he just nets. He definitely doesnt move like how he did in his 20s but we can't expect that of anyone. What he has done that many aging athletes fail to do, is that he has adjusted his playstyle and has become more efficient in attack, once again just my opinion.

[@lexsoft3969]

For the setter, it's tight between MC and Antoine Brizard for me. Based on what is displayed at 0:30 (replayed at 0:37), I will pick MC. But when seeing at 8:14-15, I cannot ignore Brizard : he is very smart, have ability to see chances for scoring by himself; he has done it a lot of times. I know both can set, spike, serve and block. Still, in terms of pure setting ability, I will pick the USA main setter over the French setter, while Simone Gianelli at 3rd place.

Man this final seemed insane. I only got to watch from 2-0 for France and didn't get what happened all of a sudden tgat they looked as if without solutions in set 3 and somewhat over srt 4. Many things have been said about France, but if I had to pick the one thing that impresses me most, it has to be Brizard's style. Time and time again i saw him bring up the heat on serve in crucial moments and he's super ballsy with the setting in high pressure moments too. Loved how Patry was also so reliable even when they had a hard time, and ofc Ngapeth finding solutions when it really mattered in the end

I love again the experiment that coach speraw made he used in Set 3. He was also wise when he asked Defalco to sat down because he lost focus and got emotional. But I am happy that they finished this match at 5 setter. That was one of the greatest comebacks in a gold match. I know they will become stronger. They are inching closer to gold next time. What really hurts me is that, neither Russell nor Defalco got an individual award. Especially Russell who's been playing enormously and consistently since week 1😭😭😭😭 Anyway, France and USA are my top 2 teams. Not much pain when France won. They also deserved it especially PATRY! He's unstoppable. I don't know why I really wanted USA to win gold. For now I should be contented as a fan. Because the pain remains double for them as players. But Speraw is spectacular.

That’s been TJ’s waterloo - his emotional stability which may affect his teammates. I’ve seen this multiple times, especially that VNL 2021, where they performed egregiously. Finally, Coach John Speraw has ‘trusted’ more the other players - Kyle Russell, Jeff Jendryk. Why was I so blind he’s not doing the mixing of veteran and ‘newbies’ to the court?! Lol.

Ensing just isn’t a good enough opposite, if Anderson doesn’t come back having defalco play opposite could help the team.

Congratulations to FRANCE !!! 💪👍👑🎉🎉🎉

Francia cambió de entrenador y mantuvo el mismo nivel de juego que en la Olimpiadas. Andrea Giani hizo un buen trabajo. Earvin N'Gapeth para mi es el mejor jugador del mundo actualmente.

[@ricardorosas6137]

Aunque la actitud de Earvin siempre ha sido muy detestable.

Clevenot is the best diagonal pattern partner of Ngapeth as a wing spiker, he can also contribute In the reception department, One of the better defensive player too... Hes too versatile for France, but his reception is still the best... Good reception results to better outcome..
