VNL Men's Preliminary Round Dream Team [Volleyball Nations League Men's]

Opposite

Théo Faure

France
202cm
Born October 12, 1999 (25 years old)

225 points (attack 194, serve 21, block 10)
Attack Effectiveness Rate: 35%

He is the next generation point getter who supported the team as the starting opposite for France throughout the entire qualifying round. He was ranked 2nd in the best scorer ranking and 2nd in the best server ranking, and produced a lot of points with stable performance. In terms of stability, he may be better than Patry, who was a starter at the Paris Olympics. He will continue to be rampant in the final round. At the club, he was teammates with Tarumi from Japan last season.

Runner-up

Takehito Miyaura (Japan)

Setter

Fernando Kreling

Brazil
186cm
Born January 13, 1996 (29 years old)

14 points (6 attacks, 5 serves, 3 blocks)
Assist success rate 44.95%

A talented playmaker who was the driving force behind Brazil's qualifying. He showed a truly outstanding performance throughout the qualifying rounds, including outstanding stability, high quality sets, ball distribution, and use of the middle during rallies. As setters with height and scoring ability, such as Giannelli and Nikolov the younger, become increasingly popular, he reminded us that setters like him, who are truly setters, are at the top of the world. I think he could be a role model for Japanese setters. It was a great performance that I could watch forever. It's also good to see him having fun playing.

Runner-up

Antoine Brizard (France)

Libero

Tomohiro Ogawa

Japan
176cm
Born July 4, 1996 (29 years old)

Serve reception success rate: 57%
Successful digs: 80

While Miyaura played as the starting libero throughout the tournament and supported the team on the offensive side, Ogawa was definitely the one supporting the team on the defensive side. His stable serve reception, quick digs, careful jump sets, and calls and instructions were all top-level in every aspect of his play. In particular, his digs on the opposing team's line (straight) spikes excited the crowds at every venue. Maiki from Brazil had a higher serve reception success rate and number of digs, but he was selected based on the few points conceded and other plays.

Runner-up

Maique Reis (Brazil)

MVP

Fernando Kreling (S, Brazil)
