European Volleyball, Italy-France, the words of De Giorgi

The selector of the national volleyball team Ferdinando De Giorgi does not hide his satisfaction after the Azzurri’s victory by 3 sets to 0 against France in the semi-final of the European Championships: “The boys were very good, we played a match of great intensity.” The coach also spoke about the strategy adopted to deal with the technique and grim defense of the Transalpines: “We beat them at their own game, defending in turn and varying the serve to allow them to get into difficulty.” There is also a message for the President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella, who will be present for the final against Poland: “Does the President listen to the timeouts? Please put all this pressure on me…” And precisely on Italy’s next opponents : “They brought five spikers to be able to choose based on the opponent, we will have to be ready for anything”

CAPTAIN – Captain and setter Simone Giannelli was also happy: “We were close to perfection, even after the drop in the third set we were good at recovering.” On his deadly attacks during the game: “I try to take advantage of my height, elevation and long arms.” And again on Poland: “They are a formidable team, they manage to be physical and technical, a perfect combination.”
