World League Pool B: VEN vs. RUS
From FIVB online.
Russia has beat Venezuela one more time in Barquisimeto Dome, Venezuela couldn't win a set in the four matches that play against Russia. From the begining, the visitor's squad implanted its superiority in evry aspect of the game. And if we add the Polish victories against Greece, the Russian team has reached the first place in the pool B.
Without any doubts, the Russian team should be among the first four places in this XII volleyball world league. The blocking and deffense of this squad is enormous, Alexei Kazakov and Andrei Egortchev are two mountains in the Russian net. This time, Igor Choulepov was the most consistent player in the visitor's offense, besides; the left handed Alexandre Guerassimov can do everything in the court.
Venezuela couldn't come up with the right answers to face these Russian stars, who are just too much for Venezuela, but Venezuela has the benefit of having experience against teams with such quality and superiority like Russia.
This is the final match of the world league in Venezuela, now Venezuela is going for the final two matches in Greece next week. The only thing left for Venezuela, is the statistic of best scorer, where Ernardo Gómez is going to try to win the 7,300 $ prize.
