Yuji Nishida vs. Chuan Jiang | Japan vs China | FIVB Volleyball Nations League

Hoffman Estates, USA, June 22, 2019 – Japan and China renewed their longtime rivalry on Saturday with Japan taking a 3-0 sweep of China in an FIVB Volleyball Nations League match at the Sears Centre.

Japan Player Tatsuya Fukuzawa: “I was happy to get the win in today’s match. It was very important. We had a good start.”

Japan Coach Yuichi Nakagaichi: “It was nice to win this game 3-0. Yesterday we could do nothing the way we prepared. Today, our sideout was pretty good. Their service errors helped us. Also, our serves worked pretty well. Last year, we lost a lot against China. This year, they are not in good condition.”

China Coach Raul Lozano: “Today, besides the match, I would like to say something. Today, very sadly, died a Spanish ex-player and coach Miguel Angel Falasca. I would like to send my condolences to the family and friends. I would like to remember him always. Because he was my player for four years. I know him as a colleague and coach. We trained together in Poland for four years.”
