Brazil x United States in Men’s Volleyball Nations League 2024: where to watch and times

Things are not going well for the opponents in the Nations League on Thursday morning. The Americans are twelfth in the standings with just three wins so far. They are not in the classification zone of the final stage of the VNL. The American team was also defeated by Iran, which had not defeated anyone in the tournament up to that point.

Despite the negative results of the Americans, the direct confrontation between the United States and Brazil in the VNL is quite balanced. In the eight clashes since the tournament’s inception, each team has achieved four victories. In the last match Brazil won 3 sets to 1.

After the win against the Netherlands, Bernardinho highlighted Darlan’s excellent play, but stressed that the team must put into practice what they do in training. It is essential that the Brazilian coach has “more continuity”:

– We’ve had a good training week, but we still couldn’t incorporate it all into the match. The team improved throughout the match. Darlan grew a lot after the second set, his attack percentage was higher, he served better again and the central players played very well, but we could have worked better on our defense system. Now we need to grow throughout the week and be more consistent.

Brazil will still have to make do without Bruninho for Thursday’s match. The lifter trains with the group, but will be spared so as not to jeopardize his recovery Slight stretch in left calfThis gave Brasilia another chance among the candidates mentioned by Bernardinho.
