De Giorgi’s blues challenge Belarus

After the Olympic disappointment in Tokyo (elimination in the quarterfinals against Argentina) and the experience with Gianlorenzo Blengini in the role of the coach, for Italvolley it is already time for the European championships. After the women, it is the turn of the men, who are now led by the new coach Ferdinando “Fefè” De Giorgi, who will try to give a new identity to the Azzurri in a tournament that promises to be quite complicated. Italy will be part of group B, that of Ostrava, in which from today they will have to contend with the hosts of the Czech Republic, Slovenia, Bulgaria, Belarus and Montenegro. De Giorgi’s is a renewed Italy. So out there are people of the old guard like Massimo Colaci and Osmany Juantorena, in addition to the injured Ivan Zaytsev, and in the new recruits. Meanwhile, today at 2.15 pm there is the first match of this European Championship, against Belarus. –
