CRI听力:China Takes on Belgium at Women's Volleyball World Championship

2014-09-26来源:CRI

China's female volleyball team will face the ladies of Belgium tomorrow at the FIVB Women's Volleyball World Championship in Bari, Italy.

The Chinese team has remained undefeated after routing Azerbaijan and Puerto Rico in back-to-back 3-0 wins.

A win against Belgium would send China into the next round of the tournament.

But the Belgians are formidable opponents, having earned bronze at last year's European Championship behind strong Russian and German teams.

Although China has come strong out the gate at this year's tournament, the Chinese team has lost seven of their last eight World Championship matches against teams in the European association, or CEV.

Their only victory in that streak was a 3-0 win against Poland in the 2010 second round.

China and Belgium face off on the volleyball court at 2 a.m., Beijing time.
