Brazil’s quest for the FIVB Men’s World Championship crown commenced with a 19-25, 25-23, 25-22, 25-21 win over China at the MOA Arena Sunday night, Sept. 14.

 The Brazilians got into trouble early as they surrendered the first set. But it did not take long before the World No. 3 team got its act together to hammer out the victory.

 

Brazil returns to the court Tuesday, Sept. 16, against Czech Republic.

He continues to be involved in the sport he loves, but this time as a member of the PBA Press Corps. Aside from primarily covering the PBA, he is also assigned to cover Gilas Pilipinas.
