“I know (Brazil) is going to come out strong against us on Friday. They definitely don’t want to lose 3-0 to any team in the world. They certainly don’t want that to happen against the U.S. again this year.”
Team USA won six of seven sets against the Brazilians, but Kiraly would like more than anything to have his team play under stressful conditions.
“I hope Brazil comes out really strong,” Kiraly said. “I want the outcome to be in doubt, seriously in doubt. That is the best way we are going to get better when both teams are battling hard and nobody has an idea who is going to win.”
