Brazil is like the final boss.
I tought is more russia the final boss
@@Adam-xl1wi they're both powerhouse
@@andhikariza8226 brazil is #1 and russia is #2 tho
@@Adam-xl1wi didnt japan beats Russia in the world cup?
Japan volleyball is what I've been waiting for!!!
still can’t get it around my head that nishida being 6’1 is quite SHORT in the volleyball world like... WHAT
That guy's vertical is insane. Probably jumps like 42+
In volleyball the liberos avarege around 6'0"+ so yeah, Nishida and Japan in general is very small
Nishida not even 5'10
@@valentinemorales8100 Nishida is either 6'2" or close to it. Masahiro Sekita is around 5'10" and Nishida is noticeably taller than Sekita. Google is free you know.
@@hastethethird5956 hes is 186cm which is closer to 6'1 and we know that they measure volleyball players with shoes on and they round up so he is probably 182-183 barefoot which is 5'11.7-6ft barefoot which is 4-8cm(2-3 inches) taller than average depending on where you live that's the point when someone can be considered "tall" and for Japanese standards even more so since the national Japanese average height for men is 171cm
I'm from Brazil and love to see you playing in the USA team. You're a great libero.
Menino, vc por aqui? Chocada que o líbero tem um canal
Playing with Japan is like playing with six liberos HAHA😂💓
I think this was a really good choice of a video to analyze. The clash between a team with a very aggressive offense(Brazil) and a strongly coordinated team led to an iron defense (Japan) also shows just how good the teams balanced with each other, but Brazil is just a really good team. Hope to see more videos like these :)
It was a great vídeo to analyze!!!
My team is so amazing, even after years since the Rio 2016, I still can't believe how great Brazil is on volley. Also, Thales it was so impressive dealing wish Nishida's serve.
But I confess that Japan did beautiful blocks during this game. The team is great too.
For me Brazil is always the team to beat, they are too good.
Brazil's spikers are scary, man.
the brazil selection is amazing
Brasileiro safado
@@danielrennan2784 kkkkkkk
japanese setters are so underrated, esspecially sekita in my opinion.
verdade.
@Caiman Araújo no hay nada malo con que conteste en inglés
Straight up facts dude
Mas a pessoa se dá ao trabalho de né responder como se fosse uma tia velha puxando orelha de menino. Não vou entrar nessa baixaria. Você viva feliz com sua opinião, e eu com a minha. Expresso-me em português ou inglês quando é onde eu quiser. Paz e bem.
@Caiman Araújo I have no idea what u said in that paragraph cuz I dont speak portuguese, I do speak spanish tho
I see volleyball athletes and fans who have resentment or disgust against the Brazilian team. And even if you are an athlete from another team, you have a completely sporting and friendly attitude, congratulations on your channel and your excellent athlete posture! Great content!
Thank you so much!
@@ErikShojivolleyball oaaa thanks, it's a huge honor for a player of your caliber to answer me! I love your channel!
I think it might be because being tall in this sport is such an increadible advantage. that means if you are shorter you need to be 10 times better. Brazil is pretty tall and therefore there will be a lot of people who think they dont "deserve" the cred to win against a short team like Japan. Japan plays better they are just short thats all. It makes the sport a bit unfair but a sport is a sport and as you say all Athletes have deserved a spot in the team. They are all amazing. Japan is just a bit more exiting to watch
Why Brazil is so freaking good on Volleyball?
I ask that to myself every time! It’s just part of their culture!
@@ErikShojivolleyball As a Brazilian, I can say that the "soccer addiction", even though is real, that is just the tip of the iceberg. A lot of brazilians are sports aficionados that dedicate themselves to different sports, volleyball being one of them. And when you have that generation after generation you basically keep getting "fresh batches" of potential good players. On top of that, I believe we also have good trainers to help these athletes grow and mature into what you see in videos like this.
It isn't really a "one factor" thing, but rather, there is a set of facts that help foster players, trainers and overall teams like this. What Erik says about "part of the culture" is totally correct, though it is also the oversimplification of what happens.
Disclaimer: I am a volleyball fan, not an expert, so I don't hold professional value on my opinions, so take them with a grain of salt.
PS: Loving your videos Erik!
After you form a Champion generation more generations mirror this excellence. And Brazil has the right components, people willing to practice and right structure for a high level professional national tournment.
@@ErikShojivolleyball That's honestly a great concept, I'm brazilian myself and I don't even know why we are so good at it... our main sport is obviously soccer and volleyball was never really taught in schools at all until a few years now... really interesting hahah
Mensa, i'm brazilian, i can Tell you, soccer its our number one sport, and in my opinion, volley its the number two
You can see on this set how vital Yanagida’s play is for Japan. From offense to defense, with great techniques too! He’s so impressive. I’m so sad we dont get to see him on the VNL and maybe even the Olympics :(
also nishida got an injury i believe?
I love how you pointed out the 4 man receive specially at this level! So much respect given to Lucarelli. Many teams including Russia did a 4 man receive on Nishida's serves
That Brazilian team with Lucarelli back healthy and Leal benching Douglas, it is going to be almost impossible to beat.
I came here after Japan vs Brazil match at Tokyo. Brazil won again but japaneses were amazing.
Bruno Rezende is ridiculous... my god...
11:28 synchronized split step
Same at 5:50, 4 from japan are completely synchronized. Japan has a lot of discipline
I saw somewhere that it's to "deceive" the server when he's targeting someone, because the server aims and they move to the side right when he tosses the ball up, that way the person receiving is other
Always a joy to see my country's team go up against Japan!! Love from Brazil
Just got a brazilian fan, a Haikyu fan, a amatur libero fan of your skills... And now a CZcams fan!
14:22 was insanity, makes no sense
yep the guy is amazing!
@@Eilanzer If you or anyone else is curious, his name is Ricardo Lucarelli
We learned split step from haikyuu. :D
Splatter step
I agree! This set, well actually this entire match, was nerve wracking to watch. Japan is such an exciting team to watch, they're so dynamic! But Brazil... their power is kinda on another level.
Btw, I don't play volleyball but I understand it. I think it's really cool to have a professional of your level analyze and explain stuff. Thank you!
I love yanagida’s passion
That's why he's the captain! 😁
Even though I don't know much about the sport, it is extremely enjoyable to hear a professional explain and commentate over the sport they are great at. This was extremely enjoyable.
wow thank you so much! hoping to convert non-vb people into vb nerds! hahah thanks for watching and for your support!
2:43 bruno and lucas played together for so long time that this kind of play is kinda a thing for them!
they played together since they were teenager so yeah, they can just telepathic to each other of what they're going to do.
Its crazy how well Japan did when their opponents are so tall compared to them.
A good set from brazil just goes over the highest point of some of japan's blocks.
Brazil is just too good it’s not even fair
I’m soooo proud of team Japan! I love it when you cover Japan 💖 Brazil is physically big but also very very good🙌🏻 Looks like they play together for years and years.
i wish volleyball was televised from this angle not side on. So much easier to follow the action here. Best angle is if you take this angle and off center it a bit up and to the side for extra depth perception.
So many sports need a revamp to their spectator methods. How did you get this footage? how can i watch more games from this perspective?
Volleyball Watchdog uploads at this angle
i totally agree
Its not a good angle for the televising company actually. They need to show the sponsors and stuff
Brazil is so much fun to watch! They are always so good!
this is like season 1 of Japan vs Brazil. Tomorrow is season 2 Japan vs Brazil in the Olympics.
And they lost
Japan has no chance
3x0
we should be thankful Japans players arent like 6'6
Why do you think so? Just curious
@@maliha3305 Japan's Volleyball team is generally shorter than lots of National teams. and in volleyball, where height is king, Japan can greatly benefit if their current players were taller due to the higher block, higher spikes, etc. Japan has an amazing volleyball team and has shown how strong they can be and are only getting stronger! Just imagine Nishida if he was 6'6, not only is he already blasting thru blocks, he would be going over them more than he already does.
@@aa_xiv facts Japan would easily dominate
They still can reach as high as Brazilians 334cm spike and 328cm block for Japan and 337cm spike and 326cm block for Brazil so it's not like their lacking in that aspect i think they would have to completely change their playing style so much so that i think they would be worse
@@aa_xiv the age old argument of if * blank * was taller doesn't really work because if nishida was 6'6 he would be slower and heavier and wouldn't play like he does he would probably still be a great player but his plays would be way different and would probably be a worse fit to Japan's Team
I want you to see Japan's spring high school volleyball tournament! This is Higashiyama VS Matsumoto Kokusai from last year's semifinals!

this is amazing to watch!
nishida b every 19yr olds idol these days for good reason🔥
This is so much fun to watch! It's like Haikyuu minus the animation. :D
Erik saying "Are you kidding me?" in a most relaxing/mild tone is so funny to me lol
I Love how my team are so freaking good 🇧🇷❤️
But Japan is also in my heart ❤️
Thanks for the reaction love u ❤️
My favorite part of the video is the reaction to the middle back bump-set on 2:43. I've watched it many times. Erik, it's been so cool to get to know you. I love the way you talk - it is easy to understand and we actually learn a lot of English expressions on volleyball (just like I learned back bump-set). We need to see more of you and your daily life outside your bedroom.
If in Japan they have tiny giants, in Brazil we have titans ... and I love it 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Sasage yo
Back pump set = Brazil culture Bro. Period.
your channel makes me wanna play volleyball again!
Yay! Go do it! 😀😀
2:43 Bruno and Lucas are so ridiculous
FLAVIO IS SOO GOOOOD AT THAT WORLD CUP. HE'S FAST, EXPLOSIVE, ALMOST PERFECT FOR A MIDDLE. HIS VERTICAL IS FABULOUS TOO. AND ALAN IS JUST SUPERB.
-JEREMY GONCHAROVA
I really wanted you to see one of Nishida’s aces this game! Sadly none in that set. Nishida is so exciting to watch, and your reactions are too! Nishida’s serve + your reaction = would have been 🔥
2:44 this is terrifying to watch as a defender cause of how fast Lucarelli is. Sure Bruno does something crazy with a back bump 1 ball but the outside is there for like a 32 as well. Brazil’s chemistry is amazing
Incredible plays on an incredible play!
This is so much fun to watch and to listen to your insights! Would love more videos like this!!!
It's amazing how much you appreciate the game itself, no matter who is playing! You definitely have a new Brazilian fan (even though I don't live there anymore) 😁 great analysis, great videos, great channel!
Thank you so much! I love all kinds of vb!
Im happy that you reacted to this game. I hope you watch more of Japan's matches and give your honest opinion about them
As someone still new to volleyball, i appreciate you reacting to these good matches, the insight and information you give to your viewers are just so helpful!
iv watched this match probably twice but just now realizing the amount of technique and skill to execute the plays they made has to be really high. keep pumping videos!
thank you so much that means a lot! i hope you keep watching and keep practicing vb! more videos to come!
When someone tells you to control the ball alittle better, you get angry. But when its erik shoji, you better control that ball!!!!
It's satisfying watching JP team split step almost exactly in sync
People be underestimating Yanagida. He does the little things inside the court which I really love!
Yanagida is Japans foundation
your videos are so interesting and informational, thanks king!
the audience reminds me of the audience from wii sports resort
Hi Erik, thanks for reacting Japan’s game! I’m a Japanese volleyball fan live in Perth Australia.
I know some talented Aussie players in European league or V league in Japan now but actually people don’t care about volleyball here so I’m super happy to find your channel to watch video with people who loves volleyball 😭💕
Turkey vs Poland volleyball match for the Tokyo 🇮🇩🇹🇷. 4th set is INSANE 😲😱💪
Thank you. 💙❤
I absolutely love these videos! Eric makes me laugh so much.
I was waiting for this one. Such a great match.
I learned about the split step from Haikyuu!! HAHAHA
samee heree!! SHOYOO !!!
it works so well when you get the timing down, i feel more confident when receiving now lol
As a i Japanese man watching this video, every time Erik Shoji-san who is the BEST libero in the world call out names of Japanese player, I’m so deep impressed. I’m so happy to have you on CZcams Erik!!! 東京オリンピックでの活躍応援してます！😙😙😙
it's awesome that you mention the split step because there's actually an episode of haikyuu where hinata learns how to do it!! great video as always, i love your reactions and how theyre fun and educational at the same time!
thank you! thats my goal so thanks for saying that!
YESSS A LONGER VIDEO OF ERIK IS JUST WHAT I NEEDED TODAY
i love videos like this cuz it just feels like im watching volleyball with somebody and we're equally excited for each play
volleyball nerds unite! ;)
I learn so much, thank you for explaining with so much entusiasm!
Yanagidas Jump Serves are both Elegant and Explosive💣
9:45 & it was nishida's serve 😼😼 he's a player i always root for
As a non volleyball player who only learned about the sport through Haikyuu it always terrifies me how fast everything is in actual matches! Love your commentary, really helped catch those moments that I would have missed (still mindblown by that genius move by the Brazillian blocker at 16:50), thanks for the great video!
yup its crazy what you have to do to trick hitters who are trying to get a wipe(tool) off of you.
Thank you so much, man, for another great video, teaching young volleyballers
crazy that brazil won all the 11 matches.
This was really fun to watch. Thanks Eric to show me this match!
they actually go rlly in depth ab the split step in later haikyuu seasons lol!
Don't spoil it
for real. Its crazy to think these players probably incorporated such stuff into their play since their middle or highschool days already. Japanese players are really technical.
At the time Nishida was 19 years old during this game
That’s amazing. Japan is definitely the national team with the greatest potential to grow.
Thank you for picking that game! That was Amazing!
I saw you playing against brazil and dude you are so good!!!!!
if FIVB could have this angle for spectators, i would watch A LOT more games lol. I could see so much more detail from this angle, even with a lower res vid. Great job man, really gave me a new perspective when watching vball :)
So this angle is available only for players?
@@Saraa147 I'm assuming it's recorded by a team staff (like the people that video tape the next oponent for info). But that's just a guess :)
@@cyrussin2292 I see, I guess it's something like that
thank you so much! unfortunately tv rarely shows this angle.
this angle is usually more for teams and coaches for scouting.
Omg im waiting for this!! 💗💗💗
great insight, been a fan of urs for years
I love how u explain at the same time you react, it is very didactic and fun to watch
Hi Shoji, I admire you as you are the best libero.
This match is probably the match that made me love the sport,idk how many times I've rewatch it..to my new volleyball eyes,Leal is so freaking cool,I've always been blocked,but seeing Leal blasting at the block and sending the ball flying like 50feet in the air is just the coolest thing ever, it's like saying “you can try to block me but I will just blast through"
Been a fan of team USA since the time of David Lee and Reid Priddy. And much to the present time where the best in volleyball are in your batch. hope to see you in the Philippines, your such a good reactor in your review of the best games in volleyball. keep safe and hope to see USA team in action again.
Great content Erik! Loving it
It's so cool to see how volleyball has blown up in Japan. The fans always are so into it.
Wtf the blocker actually dodged yanagida’s attempt to hit high hands
yep...sometimes blockers will take a risk and lower their hands to avoid the high hands shot!
The awareness and reaction speed to do that is mindblowing.
Lucas Cabral right? I already have my hands full focusing on reading the offense...
Awesome reaction!
I absolutely love watching Japan, they make such incredible defenses, just wow ^•^
I admit that I just started liking Volleyball cause of Haikyuu, but as long as I can remember every olympics, I've always cheered for brazil, it makes me happy seeing this reaction from a true volleyball player haha :)
man, i didnt know i need this. i mean, world level player reaction is just too good.
thank you for watching! more videos to come!
@@ErikShojivolleyball for sure!
I was looking forward to your video😆
From Japan
dam thought split step from haikyuu was an exaggeration and that it was super rare in actual volleyball
yeah I thought that about a lot in haikyuu because I always think about the football anime in my childhood (kickers) when I see any sports anime. I wonder if the mangaka of haikyuu knew nishida before he started....
@@Luckma1 Nishida wasn’t even in highschool yet so I highly doubt it lol
When I started playing tennis, one of the first things the coach tried to teach me was split stepping. It’s a necessity.
In volleyball, specially at higher levels where the ball might be coming at 100+ kms, I would believe it’s also a necessity.
But I don’t know if everyone learns how ti do it at the high school level
I've been waiting for this reaction 🥰
Great video! I always look forward to seeing your content on my recommended page :)
I'm in love with your channel !!! Props !!!
Thanks so much!
This is some informative reaction, keep up the good work!
hey erik! loving the reactions, when there is an interesting play would you be able to rewind and maybe explain whats happening and the tactics going on? would love to get your perspective on the little bits of information that i sometimes miss. thanks for doing these reactions!
I don't really follow the volleyball new and I'm new to the sport but I think the best team or the one I like the most are France Brazil Japan Russia and USA :)
eres de los mejores liberos en el mundo felicitaciones
just found about this channel and really enjoy the video, please post more soon!!
thank you! more videos coming!
Been waiting for this video for a long time
