Japan vs Slovenia volleyball highlights
Japan vs Slovenia Men's OQT 2023
Japan vs Slovenia full match

[@nor-hidayamangontawar7249]

Man.... Yuki and Sekita really woke up and chose to WIN no matter what. Even Sekita is spiking now. Everyone in team Japan is running for the ball like no other. Amazing what determination can do!!

[@angeliquidevil]

That loss to Egypt was a good wake up call for Japan. Since then, they played fiercely for every match and we can feel their strong desire to win the ticket to Paris! So much respect 🫡

[@kathreenmaemanforte6963]

Those 4 consecutive points🔥🔥💪 Ohh the most reliable Captain🫡🫶

[@gammiegames]

Against Slovenia for the last 3 meetings, Yuki became a monster! His hidden skill came out the right time. 👏

[@rennyherdadi3105]

Ishikawa was on fire!! 🔥 He has this determination like "Japan has to win this game, even if I have to do it alone!" Amazing play, Captain!!! ❤😘

[@user-yu1ns4bc5r]

石川が腰の不調から大会序盤まったくコンディションが上がらず、まさかの敗戦もしたが、そこで諦めることなく、石川は最後の連戦に照準を絞り、この大事な試合でチームを引っ張る大活躍。自国開催でまさかの敗戦もあり大変なプレッシャーの中、そのメンタリティに驚愕する。

[@c.a3169]

Yuki ishikawa your the best 💪🇯🇵

[@sharreb1805]

Ishikawa fired up the team when they were 6-1 down. And scored the critical points to rally, level and surpass the opposing team. He showed what hes made of in this game

[@tatsuyasigh1906]

That 4 points run was unbelievable. And crucial. He did it in set 5 vs Italy as well. Always shows up when they need him the most

[@Ferraco05]

LOVE to see that Sekita spike! That's something you don't see often!

[@DingOrtiz]

Yes, it''s true. Very seldom you see sekita spike.

[@0x0fu]

日本のバレーは、本当に言葉通り｢石川祐希以前、石川祐希以後｣に分けられる。それくらい大きな変化と希望をもたらした存在。比べることはおかしいかもしれないが、言わばバレー界の大谷翔平！素晴らしい活躍です。みんなで掴んだパリへの切符！オリンピックでのメダルも夢じゃない🏅🇯🇵

[@chichi2865]

Despite all the criticisms you have received from your previous matches and a back injury, you chose to step up and fullfil your role as the team captain. The man that you are Yuki Ishikawa, so inspiring and remains the best Japanese volleyball player 💜💜. Congratulations for being able to qualify for the 2024 Paris Olympics, you deserve everything my captain

[@KRSCI1773]

Yeah, I don't understand the criticisms despite good points he contributed. Every player can't avoid errors. He contributed many points every game but still he was criticized.

[@bigbangtrash6353]

​@@KRSCI1773they always harsh to Yuki,i remembered they blame a 19 year old him for not qualifying in Rio Olympics...and a few a days ago in Twitter mostly RAN fans blame him for the loss vs Egypt,it's soo toxic and it's really hurt to see..

[@KRSCI1773]

@@bigbangtrash6353 Yes, he even scored 24 points on the game against Egypt but still people say he did not do his best. If he commits error, he was criticized. But if others commit errors, it's okay..

[@chichi2865]

​@@bigbangtrash6353 Apparently you're right, one thing that hurts me more was some who criticized him considered themselves as one of his fans. These "fans" were acting like Yuki's been useless and the only player that's carrying the team throughout the competition was Ran, even Nishida' s performance was discredited. I think that's the disadvantage of being one of the best, they expect so much from you that they cannot afford to see you having a rare off-game.

[@chichi2865]

​@@KRSCI1773Absolutely right. He was even the highest scorer during that match against Egypt despite his back injury, and yet people kept attacking and blaming him for losing the match when there were total of six Japanese players inside the court.

[@steadfast3607]

I was watching this live in my room through VBTV and I was a bucket of tears when they won. I was crying with them. Tears of joy. Japan is just so amazing to watch. Everyone on the team was phenomenal. I loved every second of it. Now, I'm excited for tomorrow's game with USA!

Congratulations to Japan!! A well earned victory. I teared up seeing Naonobu Fujii's shirt held up at the end in the group photo.

[@MH-lw1if]

Wonderful victory. Patient, respectful, all members united solid until the last moment. A player in the opponent did a disrespectful behavior to Japan team and got a yellow card. Yuki was gathering Japan members and was obviously trying to tell the members not to be bothered and calm down. At the moment, I was convinced Japan is already winning.

[@dddddd-og4gq]
