Brazil is the undisputed champion of men's volleyball. It is proof of this that they have not surrendered the number one spot in the world rankings to any other country for over 15 years. In the 21st century, men's volleyball is truly Brazil's era. However, this undisputed champion has yet to win a medal, let alone a title, in the Nations League. Will they be able to claim the crown worthy of the undisputed champion in this year's tournament, which will be their third time lucky?

Brazil has a lot of players named "Sousa" and "De Souza" lol. Also, the average age is always high. I think that's because the Brazilian national team seems to place a lot of importance on physical strength. By the way, there are many players in Brazil who use their registered name as their first name, like Bruno.

A super-aggressive outside player with outstanding height and power. Originally from Cuba, he played for the Cuban national team alongside Leon, who is currently a member of the Polish national team, but later acquired Brazilian citizenship and joined the Canary Islands. The spikes and serves that are fired from Real's unique form are extremely destructive. He looks very kind, but once he gets going, he can't stop!

We should attack Real Madrid with our serves!
Real Madrid has a monster Brazilian spiker, but he has some weaknesses in serving. For Japan to compete with Brazil, it is important to break him down with serves and bench him early on. In fact, I think that is the only way. But I feel like there is something to look forward to. Go Japan!!
