Russia - Brazil (The Olympics 2008, full game)

Full game from The Olympics 2008. It could be training material for coaches showing how to play in defence. Look at fantastic defences at the Brazilian side. Alexey Verbov was best digger in that game with 18 digs. Result of that match was one of the biggest surprises in that Olympic games. Andre Nascimento scored incredibly lot of points (as the 4-set match): 26 points, Mikhaylov had 19 points. Giba on the press conference said: "Today was a very hard match for us. Russia had good blocking and defence. Brazil did too, but we lost in the counterattack. I think this was the key point of the match. Brazil played very well, but Russia was better". As some fans say Brazil must lost one match in the tournament (like with Bulgaria in World League 2006 Finals, France in World Championships 2006 and Bulgaria in World League 2007 Finals).
