The German national team is undergoing a generational change after their ace player Grosser, who supported the team for over 10 years, leaves the national team. They are entering this tournament using a variety of players and are still lacking in stability, but they are starting to get results, coming close to winning against France and winning against Slovenia and Iran.
Among them, the man closest to succeeding Glozelle, Opposite, is attracting attention.WeberAlthough he is still only 21 years old, his spikes and serves, which are delivered from high jumps and dynamic form reminiscent of Grozelle, are a must-see. His play is still rough and he makes noticeable mistakes, but he has great potential. And above all, his form is beautiful, so it's fun to watch. He is the same generation as Nishida, so maybe we'll get to see him go up against Nishida?

Also, the OH who mainly supports the young team from a defensive standpointshotMB with a height of 210cmclickAlso, although he is not in the starting lineup, OH who played well in the Polish league last seasonReichertI am also personally paying attention to this.
Honestly, I can't predict how the match against Japan will go. I think the two teams are probably evenly matched in terms of ability, so the match won't end soon. For Japan, the key is to attack the targets with serves as before, and to create situations where the opponent can't attack in a perfect state. Fromm will be the target on the outside of the opponent. On the other hand, Ishikawa will be targeted again for Japan, so it will be important to see how well he can hold up his reception, and how well the players other than Ishikawa can improve their success rates. Anyway, I hope it will be an interesting match!
