طائرة الأدعم في اختبار ياباني صعب في دورة الألعاب الآسيوية "آيتشي-ناغويا 2026"
ناغويا-(اليابان)/ يدخل منتخب قطر للكرة الطائرة مواجهة من العيار الثقيل عندما يلتقي نظيره الياباني، اليوم، في الدور ربع النهائي لمنافسات الكرة الطائرة ضمن دورة الألعاب الآسيوية «آيتشي-ناغويا 2026»، في مباراة تترقبها الجماهير، نظراً لما يمتلكه المنتخبان من إمكانيات فنية وبدنية وخبرة كبيرة، إلى جانب أفضلية الأرض والجمهور التي تصب في مصلحة المنتخب الياباني.
وحجز «الأدعم» مقعده في الدور ربع النهائي بعدما حل وصيفاً للمجموعة الثالثة، إثر تحقيقه انتصارين متتاليين على هونغ كونغ وفيتنام، قبل أن يخسر أمام المنتخب الهندي بنتيجة 3-2 في ختام مباريات دور المجموعات، في واحدة من أقوى مباريات البطولة حتى الآن.
ورغم الخسارة أمام الهند، فإن المنتخب القطري قدم مستوى فنياً مميزاً، ونجح في التقدم بشوطين دون مقابل، بعدما حسم الشوط الأول 28-26 والثاني 27-25، قبل أن يعود المنتخب الهندي ويعدل النتيجة بالفوز بالشوطين الثالث والرابع، ليحتكم الفريقان إلى الشوط الفاصل الذي امتد إلى 24-22، في مؤشر واضح على قوة المواجهة وتقارب مستوى المنتخبين.
وتبدو مواجهة اليابان مختلفة تماماً عن مباريات دور المجموعات، إذ إن نظام خروج المغلوب لا يمنح مجالاً للتعويض، وبالتالي سيكون التركيز حاضراً منذ النقطة الأولى وحتى الأخيرة، خصوصاً أن المنتخب الياباني سيحظى بدعم جماهيري كبير باعتباره صاحب الأرض والجمهور.
ويدرك الجهاز الفني للمنتخب القطري بقيادة الأرجنتيني سوتو صعوبة المهمة، لكنه في الوقت نفسه يدخل المباراة بثقة كبيرة في قدرات لاعبيه.
ويملك المدرب الأرجنتيني سوتو عاملاً مهماً قبل المواجهة، يتمثل في معرفته بالمنتخب الياباني، بعدما سبق للأدعم أن واجهه في مباراة ودية خلال المعسكر الإعدادي الذي سبق انطلاق الدورة.
ومن المنتظر أن يعمل سوتو على وضع الخطة المناسبة للحد من خطورة المنتخب الياباني، مع التركيز على الإرسال والاستقبال وحسن التعامل مع الكرات الهجومية، إلى جانب المحافظة على التركيز في النقاط الحاسمة، وهي التفاصيل التي قد تحسم مواجهة متقاربة بهذا المستوى.
ويبحث «الأدعم» عن مواصلة مشواره في البطولة والعبور إلى الدور نصف النهائي، لكنه يدرك أن المهمة لن تكون سهلة أمام منتخب قوي يلعب على أرضه ووسط جماهيره.
