90s volleyball queen Cuba facing the strongest Brazilian squad ever in 90s. This match told you how crazy the Cuban players were. All players were all rounded with stable performance.
Post-Match Commentary :
This was the week 4 and also the last week of preliminary round of WGP held in Taipei, both teams qualified to the final round held in Shanghai a week after. # 8 Leila Barros (25 yo, 1.79m), #2 Ana Moser (28 yo, 1.85m) surprisingly not in the lineup and I wondering was it tactics by the coach.
For Cuban squad, they were using the 6 main gold combo during 1996-2000 cycle, - #1 Ruiz, #8 Bell, #10 Torres #14 Fernandez, #2 Costa, #11 Aguero. This combo I classified as the unbeatable form in the volleyball history ever. Without Moser and Barros, it's a one of the few very overwhelming games between Brazil and Cuba.
Facing Cuban was a nightmare to every team in the 90s... I always imagine if 90s Cuba team time travel to nowadays, they can still be the queen of volleyball. Imagine there were 6 Melissa Vargas on the court who can spike but also can receive....was it scary?
