Canada has been fighting hard in this tournament, taking sets from Brazil, but has not been able to win a single game. However, their setter, who has been sidelined by injury for the past few years,SandersWith the return of the national team, the team is regaining vitality in preparation for the Olympics.PerrinandHoagMy only hope was to play with Ishikawa in Milan.MarandLepkeyWe can also see the growth of young athletes. One of the challenges is the OP, who boasts a maximum height of 374 cm.VernonIt's the growth of. He has potential, but has not been able to show his talent. If he can explode like his former national team opposite Schmidt, it will not be a dream to advance to the top of the Olympics.

Speaking of Canada, they are the country where Nishida showered consecutive service aces at the 2019 World Cup (lol). In the match against Poland, he was on the bench for the first time and only played in the three rotations of backcourt players from the serve, but will he be in the starting lineup today? Hopes are high! However, even if he can't play, it will be important to break down the opposing ace, Hogue, with serves and put pressure on him. Also, the opposing opposite, Vernon, tends to have a low spike pass point, so we want to make sure we can block him. Ishikawa will also be playing in the match against Canada and we will definitely go for the win, so I don't think there is anything to worry about. But anyway, I would like to see Nishida play the full game!!
