[Eng subs] Tatsunori Otsuka feature
"If you're not in the starting line up yet, it means there's still something missing. I feel the need to figure that out myself and use it to get stronger."
"I've been able to prove my worth in the (Milano) team. I want everyone to trust me. This is the result of everything I've built up for the past 2 years. I suppose that's something I can feel confident about."
Petition for Tatsu to have more playing time 💯
you can tell alex just doesn’t gaf anymore cause he’s completely given up arguing he just let’s both jameses talk his ear off then gets out of the car and walks away slouching
Coach Vital: *crashes interview* They deserve to win. We tried. But we made it difficult for you, yeah?
Coach Tillie: *scoffs in agreement*
Looking forward to more of team China! 💪🏼🫡
Thought it was a mistake for tatsu to be in the reserve list as well, but i suppose all's well ends well. The serve reception is an integral part of Japan's game and, if turned into a weakness, can truly be quite lethal
yuki and tomita tbh didn’t make much of a difference. their reception became a real source of points for china.
i probably wouldn’t have taken the risk of putting kai in either, but maybe otsuka shouldn’t have been on the reserve list in the first place.
@haruko_inkare Whenever the serve reception quality drops i flinch bc the set and hits have no allowable room for error (+set plays become more difficult to execute). Tomita is supposed to be the stable receiver backup but if he can't fulfill that, then things get very tough
