　　In the game on the evening of the 8th, the Chinese women's volleyball team made the most of the main force, and the Italian women's volleyball team made targeted adjustments on the secondary offensive line, and hit the Chinese women's volleyball team with a pass by serving to curb the Chinese women's volleyball team's offense.

This tactical intention was well implemented by the Italian women's volleyball players in the game. They defeated the Chinese women's volleyball team 26-24, 25-16 and 25-20.

Commenting on the game after the game, Cai Bin believed that the Chinese women's volleyball players were still working very hard, but they failed to seize the opportunity in the first game, which caused the players to be psychologically affected in the subsequent games.

　　In this campaign, the Italian women's volleyball team put a lot of pressure on the Chinese women's volleyball team's first pass system through targeted serving.

Cai Bin said that serving the Italian women's volleyball team is a clear and targeted tactical arrangement for the Italian women's volleyball team. Even if the Italian women's volleyball team made 9 serving mistakes, they would continue to use the serve-strike to attack the Chinese women's volleyball team.

Although the Chinese women's volleyball players also have the ability to receive a good pass, they are still slightly lacking in the mentality and rhythm of receiving and serving. All of these need to be summed up by the Chinese women's volleyball team.

　　While fighting the serve, the Italian women's volleyball team also arranged corresponding blocking tactics for the Chinese women's volleyball team's main attack Li Yingying's adjustment and attack, which formed a certain restraint on Li Yingying's attack.

Cai Bin said that as Li Yingying is a player with strong offensive strength on the main offensive line of the Chinese women's volleyball team, each opponent will arrange players to focus on blocking Li Yingying's attack during the game.

In today's match with the Italian women's volleyball team, Li Yingying played quite well. He believes that Li Yingying will be better and better in the future after adjustment.

　　According to the schedule, the Chinese women's volleyball team will compete with the Belgian women's volleyball team on the 9th.

Cai Bin said that the Chinese women's volleyball team will put aside the losses temporarily after summarizing the main problems exposed in the match with the Italian women's volleyball team in a timely manner and concentrate on preparing for the match with the Belgian women's volleyball team.

Next, the Chinese women's volleyball team will, as always, uphold the purpose of fighting every game and play every game well.
