The numbers may even indicate an easy path. It wasn’t quite like that. In their second match in the League of Nations, Brazil had some difficulty against Poland. But, efficiently and under Carol’s shine, José Roberto Guimarães’ team knew how to impose itself in Shreveport-Bossier City, in the United States. In 3 sets to 0, partial 25/23, 25/21 and 25/22, dominated the rivals and guaranteed another victory in the competition.

Carol was the big name of the match this Thursday. The central, brilliant in blocking, grew during the game also in attack and in serve, in addition to commanding the team on the court. He finished with 15 points in total, seven of which were blocking, according to the International Federation. She was not, however, the only standout. Lorenne, with nine points, in addition to Diana and Julia Bergmann, with eight, were also important for the victory against the Poles.

On the other hand, Gorecka, with 11 points, was the one who gave the Brazilian team the most trouble. Lukasik and Grika, with 10 each, also made it difficult for Brazil on the court.

1st set – Brazil reacts at the end and starts in front
–
At first, balance. The two teams exchanged points early on. But it was through Carol’s hands that Brazil took advantage. By erecting a wall in the middle, the center made the selection score 11/10. It was the player’s fourth point on the foundation at that beginning alone. Poland even went for it, but the selection of Zé Roberto reached the first technical stop in advantage: 12/11.
–
Unlike the debut, the Brazilian pass proved to be a little more unstable. During the first set, the Polish serve was always with Pri Daroit in the crosshairs. That’s how the rivals took the lead in the final stretch of the set, with 21 to 20 in the account. In the sequence, the European team expanded, and Zé Roberto asked for time. He got it right. With Karina’s entry into the serve and two blocks in a row, with Diana and Lorenne, Brazil regained the lead. Lavarini still tried to hit the house on the other side, but it didn’t help. Diana closed the account with an attack through the middle: 25/23.

2nd set – Brazil leaves behind, but extends the lead
–
The start of the second set was not the best. Poland forced the serve and wreaked havoc on the Brazilian reception. So, easy, opened 7 to 2 on the scoreboard. Gradually, however, Zé Roberto’s team got it right on the court. By force, it was looking for a tie in 12/12, balancing the partial.
–
But Poland took the lead again. With one hit, Rozanski filled his arm and opened 19/17. Brazil went looking for it once again. A block by Carol caused the selection to leave everything the same at 19/19. Karina, as in the first set, entered and started to make the difference in the serve. That was how the ball came back clean to the Brazilian side, opening space for Diana to score 21/20. From there, the way was open for the selection to close the partial on 25/21.

Brazil, then, wanted to accelerate. To secure the victory, he opened up the scoreboard from the start. Throughout the set, Lavarini’s team tried as best they could to react. In the final stretch, even in the midst of so many mistakes, he even managed to threaten Brazilian control of the game. But Carol, a great name on the team throughout the match, took the lead and led the team to victory: 25/22.
