The Italian Cup belongs to Imoco Another immense Egonu and Novara ends up on her knees

by admin

Conegliano hits the second trophy of the season by winning the 55th match in a row Igor has a shot of pride in the third set, but then the yellow-blues close the score

/ RIMINI

The confetti and the splashes of prosecco also cover the Rimini taraflex. The smiles of the panthers melt away, the screams and chants of the bench are an excellent substitute for the fans, who have followed the live broadcast from home en masse. The eleventh trophy that enters the Imoco Conegliano showcase is a sweaty Italian Cup and also for this reason even more deserved and tasty. The opponent, worthy of this final and also of the challenges to come, is one of the tough ones; the real Novara is this and not the one at the beginning of the season, the panthers knew it and found the right weapons at the right time to beat it and also to overcome their empty passages.

Before the start there is the hymn by Mameli which increases, if possible, the “healthy pressure” Santarelli talks about in the pre-match; almost all the Azzurri national team are on the field and coach Mazzanti in the stands has to polish his eyes in view of the VNL that will develop in Rimini at the end of spring and, above all, in anticipation of the Tokyo Olympics. At the initial 1-4 Egonu responds with two aces in a 7-0 run, Sylla consolidates the lead up to 12-7. Novara reacts with Herbots, Washington and Chirichella who mend on 15-14; the reaction of the panthers is the school of volleyball with De Kruijf pulling out three unstoppable fast, Sylla tarantolata (73% in attack) who puts down 8 balls, Egonu makes 11 with 89%.

Novara fixes the defense with Daalderop, who remains on the field in the second set in place of Herbots and also makes himself felt in attack: the maximum advantage of 8-12 is recovered with patience by Conegliano, who works better with the block. The Imoco makes a few more mistakes, but pulls out the claws in the final again with Egonu and Sylla, who follow the first point of Folie and the ace of Gennari. Novara, with his back to the wall, puts his head forward also in the third set (10-13); Conegliano overtakes with Egonu and Hill, but wastes too much (10 errors) and fails to contain Bosetti in the final. The errors in the service of the panthers keep the score in balance up to 15-15, then comes the decisive whip: De Kruijf passes three times in the center, Egonu knocks down Daalderop with the service and closes with his 37th point.

It is she who receives the golden ball from MVP from the hands of Lara Lugli, protagonist in recent weeks of the unpleasant contractual affair linked to her motherhood. In the end, right here, in the land of smooth and Casadei, we dance: Wolosz improvises a tribal dance in the circle of her companions, all by the hand arrive at the podium for an award ceremony with the gold medal and the trophy. It is a ceremonial that has already been seen eleven times, which you never get used to, which you don’t want to get used to, now more than ever between now and May. The Imoco wins again: the streak is extended to 55, a predictable result, but not so obvious, given how the game has developed. Everyone wants to beat them and they will be even more aggressive in the coming weeks: the panthers know this and will not back down.
