Really nice that you mentioned Lorenne (Brazil's opposite hitter)! She has been on the bench for our Brazilian national team for a while now but was never able to secure a starter spot. She usually comes in a pinch server. Last season she played in Japan so our coach decided that she would be great to sub in on this match since she plays against these Japanese players on a club level, and what a great decision that was! She did an amazing job this match. I'm also touched that you acknowledge the libero, Nyeme. She has a sad history in volleyball: she was ready to quit playing altogether, and then she was rediscovered, reintroduced to the Brazilian scenario, for the first time got a chance at the national team and now she's doing amazing at international competitions. Your work as a libero is iconic Erik, and I'm sure she would be incredibly happy to see you praising her form and her aggressive sets. Much love from Brazil to you!!
That was (22) Fukudome’s first ever international major tournament. Japan’s floor defense system is out of this world even way back their glory days. Must say, that’s some fine volleyball pedigree.
This video had the exact kind of picking apart and analyzing of a game that i’ve been looking for! Recently i’ve been trying to notice plays and understand the strategies used in the games I watch, and watching your reaction videos helps me learn how to do that better! Plus having good form/good positioning pointed out to me helps too. Thanks erik!!
yay thanks for acknowledging lorenne's skills!! she wasn't a starter for most of their matches in the world champs but she stepped up on their last ones
that ‘nooo’ at the end. i was rooting for japan but sadly they lost. anw, i love watching your analysis! i learned so much from this video. thanks erik! 👊
i follow more women's vb than men's and it's just now that i realized how speed can be a double edged sword. coming from southeast asia where thailand is the standard, i've always thought teams with slower tempos were kind of boring. this was really insightful!
Thank you! Yes speed is great but is something is off it can really throw off the offense. That’s why when teams are on with speed they are hard to beat.
Japan volleyball team may not be the tallest and best volleyball team out there but they are the most defense specialist and great system within the court. Defense is the best offense.
The only non insane game brazil had was the finals... as a italian it hurts cause they won twice against us... they were so consistent until the finals...
Last season was so much success for Zaksa that it's probably the first video where Erik says that Zaksa lost 😁 dishwashing machine confused me at first, thought it's something in my house haha
Im not erik, but if the serve comes too strong to take with your hands, too fast to take a step back and bump it, and its too high to take it without a step, and only if you REALLY can't do these, then open out to the side, shoulders towards the net still, lift your arms a bit more and take it with a bump set.
Love your videos!!! I would love to see you reacting to Brazil vs Russian Fed. - Women's Volleyball Quarterfinal | London 2012. It is an amazing game, and the last set is incredible.
Hey erik! Here is a video I bet people would love to see you react too! ruclips.net/video/nJZ-lmxh95A/видео.html Its a compilation of great defenses followed by surprising attacks. And it is pretty varied, there are not many repeated plays in there!
As a Brazilian, that japanese libero was driving me CRAZY, she made SO MANY amazing digs
The level of Carol's play this year at VNL and World Championships has been astonishing. Those kill blocks are so satisfying.

Yay I’m glad you are finding value in the videos! Thanks for watching!
eriks disappointment at the last point was EXACTLY my emotions expressed on screen
I remember watching being so sad for her and for the match to end like that!

Serbia Vs. Poland women’s world match was insane. You should definitely react to it if possible :)
i follow more women's vb than men's and it's just now that i realized how speed can be a double edged sword. coming from southeast asia where thailand is the standard, i've always thought teams with slower tempos were kind of boring. this was really insightful!

This match was sick!!!
what a spectacular game!🤩
I would love to see you react to more women's volleyball, it's great fun!
Awesome match! As a brazilian, it was so intense and crazy to watch.
Erik, nice to see that you are back! Don’t forget your youtube fans hahaha
I'm still at the beginning of the movie, but I love the way you pronounce Polish city names🤗
You make me smile again, thanks Erik!!
This match was absolutely insane.
Japan volleyball team may not be the tallest and best volleyball team out there but they are the most defense specialist and great system within the court. Defense is the best offense.
This match is my the best of the year.
suuuuuuch a good game!!! it's a pity we didn't get to see more from Japan but well deserved from Brazil indeed
More high level womens videos please because this is was so fantastic!
Ok!
We Brazilian fans were going crazy at all the server directed at the libero
Maybe the libero wasn’t doing amazing that game but usually you do not serve a Japanese libero 🤷🏻♂️
so amazing to see you react to brazil national team, this match was insane
The only non insane game brazil had was the finals... as a italian it hurts cause they won twice against us... they were so consistent until the finals...
@@TheDrokz that final was pretty bad, third set i barely recognized brazil, and they had the team to win thats what upset me the most
@@TheDrokz I feel you pain
this whole game was crazy
serbia vs poland women’s quarterfinals!!!
This was the best match in my opinion. Soo good to your coments about!!
big fan from India ❤️ Love you bro
Last season was so much success for Zaksa that it's probably the first video where Erik says that Zaksa lost 😁
dishwashing machine confused me at first, thought it's something in my house haha
Same thoughts
React to Brazil x Rússia and China x Japan - London 2012
Good choice. This game was epic.
I loved this tourney and learned a lot from watching the setters this year.
Wish me luck btw in my intramural tourney (seeded first) 😊
good luck!!!
Please react to paralympic volleyball, it is incredible to seem them play at their different strategies compared to normal volleyball.
this was the best match of the tournment by far!!
you NEED to watch the turkey vs thailand womens volleyball match in the netherlands! its so entertaining
I feel like volleyball is one of the only team sports where women aren't super underrepresented I'm very happy about this video.
they actually, at some point, have more viewership. some of the top pro female players gets paid more than their male counterparts.
Erik, how do you adjust to hard float serves that are chest high?
Im not erik, but if the serve comes too strong to take with your hands, too fast to take a step back and bump it, and its too high to take it without a step, and only if you REALLY can't do these, then open out to the side, shoulders towards the net still, lift your arms a bit more and take it with a bump set.

I’ve watched that and it’s so good. Thanks for the nice words!
My face this whole set > " 😮😮"
You'll be a great coach I guess I really like how you analyze things so clever 😉
Thank you!!
Honestly is there a national team that's more fun to watch than Japan? (Except USA ofc)
Thailand.
Can you make a video about the shoes and the knee pads that you use. I need new ones and dont know what to buy.
So fun to watch
I really want to see you as a coach
Hey Erik! What do you think is the biggest difference between men’s and women’s volleyball and they way they play?

Please
