Not afraid of the Chinese women's volleyball team? French libero: Defeating them is no great feat! Predicting a 3-1 victory

On August 31st, 2025, the Women's Volleyball World Championship reached the round of 16 to 8 knockout stage. The Chinese women's volleyball team topped Group F and will face the French team today. However, in a pre-match interview, the French libero boldly claimed that China is not among the top teams and expressed confidence in their chance to win, noting that the French team is currently in excellent form.

This year, the Chinese women's volleyball team was rebuilt with a young lineup, featuring 16-year-old Zhang Zixuan as the main setter, which caught the attention of teams worldwide. However, their youth is also a reason many teams underestimate them. The French libero believes that although China defeated them at last year's Olympics and this year's Nations League, the Chinese team is no longer the same. With the absence of Zhu Ting, Yuan Xinyue, and the injured Li Yingying, their strength has significantly declined. Meanwhile, the French team is complete and showed strong performance in a five-set battle against Brazil, boosting their confidence and giving them a real chance to beat China today.

The pre-match psychological warfare can be ignored, as the Chinese women's volleyball team has always been able to overcome doubts. In today's match against France, reception and blocking will be crucial. The French team's main attacker, Kassaut, possesses tremendous offensive power, making her the key focus for blocking. It is believed that China will be well-prepared. The prediction is that China will win 3-1 and advance to the quarterfinals. What do you think?
