Ran Takahashi is hidden super libero- his defensive skill is magnificent

[@teaehn8047]

Fun fact:He played libero for one season in the European league

[@hafidafifi921]

he's not hidden libero, he's playing as libero in italy

[@86Nelson68]

@@hafidafifi921 he was playing last season. This season he played regular outside.

[@NomNomFrenzy]

Yea he was playing a libero for euro league

[@gissneric]

Even though Ran played libero in his club season in Europe, it's better for him to be a hitter. Liberos are the lowest paid position unfortunately.

[@underground_volley]

Ran Takahashi is one of the best all around players right now he is excelling in both offense and defense

The defense and offense of Ryujin Nippon in this match are truly exceptional. It is well-balanced. Yuki Ishikawa's captaincy is astounding. Ran Takahashi showing the masterful OH2 defensive skills, especially from the back.The middles have been really really efficient as well as the Opposites. Congratulations, Japan Men's Volleyball Team! ☺️

[@emrayo]

I'd even argue that Nishida is (right now, very recency biased) the weak link in team Japan. He is amazing to watch and can score some absolute bangers, but his defense is severely lacking compared to everyone else. In recent games, including practice games Ishikawa and Takahashi were the main scorers

[@5thbasicneed62]

⁠@@emrayo agreed, his jump is much slower and shorter from what I can see, I miss the 2019 rookie him lol

[@taipham8574]

Ran Takahashi has improved so much after being in the Italian league for so long. His spiking and court awareness has increased tremendously and you can tell even after a whole rally Ran is trying to come up with new ways to score. 8:10 he tries to spike it at a extremely sharp angle here. Even though it didn't work he still has a huge smile on his face!

[@DatNguyen-ph2zr]

That attack was played by N’Gapeth in the last point to win 18-16 over Japan in the 5th set.

[@VladimirMizich]

I noticed that play too. He tried a very sharp angle. Maybe something he didn't do in practice, but he wasn't afraid to try this precise play. It failed, but I applaud him for the Volleyball intelligence. Most players would have just went for a regular cross or line shot - they would have forced it. He tried something different from the position he was at. He was smiling when it failed, because it didn't bother him much. It was a good play!

[@esosaobayuwana5994]

Japan's defence this game was actually ridiculous, seriously rooting for them.

Setting Takahashi again at the end to close, despite the small mess up the rally before, is great to see. Maintains trust that he is one of the best on the court and leaves team with overall great satisfaction

[@bigbangtrash6353]

Sekita always trusted his hitters,he have habit to set back repeatedly until a hitter make a point or to gain back confident after a miss spike/error.

[@artmz1987]

First of all, as an Iranian, I congratulate the Japanese team and its cultured fans, and I am almost sure that their team will cause trouble for the 5 biggest teams in the world. Regarding the Iranian team, I must say that we have talented players, and maybe the lack of friendly matches made the coach use three different formations in the game. This is what It must be resolved. The next issue also comes back to the absence of Milad Ebadipour. Unfortunately, despite Khanzadeh's good performance in receiving passes, they suffered a lot today. In the end, I have to say that we were a little better than last year's game, and of course, the opponent's unique ball shooting hurt some of the boys. There are 11 more games and we hope to reach the next stage.
