Volleyball, at the European Championships in Belgrade Italy puts on a show Tomorrow at 3 pm the assault on Holland which is worth the final

SASSARI. Alessia Orro and the women’s volleyball team fly to the semifinals at the European championships in Belgrade. The blue, masterfully guided by the young setter from Narbolia, prevailed in the match valid for the quarter-finals with a 3-0 that does not allow replicas (25-20, 25-8, 25-18) in just seventy-seven minutes on the young but talented Russia, and tomorrow at 20 (match live on Rai 3) they will return to the field to play the semi-final that will oppose them to the Netherlands.

A match that in practice has never been in question for the team coached by Davide Mazzanti, who for the occasion has re-proposed the sextet with which he has faced the continental review so far, Orro in the direction and Egonu opposite, Chirichella and Danesi (took over from Fahr, who was injured against Croatia) in the center, Pietrini and Sylla crushers and De Gennaro free, while Russia, coached by the Italian Sergio Busato, responded with the diagonal Startseva-Kadochkina, the central Enina and Briovkia, Fedorovsteva and Kapustina of band and free Pilipento. In the Italian field everything worked, from reception to serve, up to a break that was never so effective.

The match began in the name of balance, with the Russians able to keep up with Italy and also take the lead until 8-11. But at that point Sylla and her companions changed pace, Orro, compared to previous occasions, relied in particular on Egonu’s attacks, and was amply rewarded. Two walls by Danesi and Pietrini on as many slash balls (i.e. the serve that is postponed by the opponents directly in the field of those who serve) yielded 13-12, a fast by Chirichella was worth 20-16, and Sylla put down in peremptory manner on 25-20. A blow from which Russia has never recovered. A few exchanges were enough to return to the field, then on a winning streak by Orro in the service, Italy went from 3-3 to 16-4 with a real show against the wall and in counterattack, in front of an opponent in full state. confusional, despite his coach’s attempts to change things by drawing off the bench. Pietrini’s last point, also deadly yesterday in attack. In the third set Sylla and her teammates start at 4-0, another round in Orro’s service takes them from 13-8 to 18-8 and from there it’s only academy until Egonu’s 25-18, for the umpteenth time match- winner of his team with 15 points and an eloquent 52% in attack.
