Inaugural match of the World League 2015 between Japan and Czech Republic. Great work in the defence by two players: Yoshifumi Suzuki and Kunihiro Shimizu and powerful spike from 4 meter by Masashi Kuriyama. Japan's team captain Kunihiro Shimizu said: "This is my first match as captain of the Japan national team, and I really tried to lead by performing well on the court, not so much by being vocal. The older players like (Daisuke) Sakai and (Takeshi) Nagano helped me a lot. I think we felt good today, and we could play in a rather good mental state".
