The French men’s volleyball team won its third of three games during the Nations League in Rimini, Australia (Italy), winning four sets over Australia’s red light.
The French team went on to win the 2021 Men’s Volleyball League “Week 1” in Rimini (Italy). Despite the morning kick-off during these three meetings (10:00 am), Laurent Delhi’s men were able to pick up eight of the possible nine points. After beating Bulgaria on Friday and Germany in a tie-break on Saturday, the Blues needed four sets to buy Australia, the red light, losing the first two games by three sets. Keep in mind that France did not fly to this meeting, but that this League of Nations was only a “preparation” for the Tokyo Olympics, and that Laurent Dilli also started her third six-day debut in three days.
