Italy sails sails explained to the Nations League Final Eight scheduled from 30 July to 3 August in China. In the second release of the third week of the elimination phase, the blues exceeded Ukraine 3-2. Tenth victory in the demonstration against only two defeats (with France and Brazil, both at the tie break).

Italy-Ukraine 3-2 (25-15, 25-20, 16-25, 23-25, 15-10)

For the occasion, De Giorgi has deployed Giannelli in directing, opposite Rychlicki, Michieletto and Lavia Cruciatori, Anzani and Galassi in the center with Balaso Libero. Against the revelation team of the event -the Lozano team navigates among the top eight and therefore in the race for the final phase -, it was up to Michieletto to drag the national team. For two sets, the left -handed cruster (20 points at the end of the match) is unstoppable and with him all of Italy. But from the 3rd set the blue gear is enhanced and the strength of the Ukrainian team comes out. De Giorgi’s changes are not enough: from Bovolenta to Bottolo, from Gargiulo to Sbertoli and Porro. We go to the tie break in which all the experience of Italy comes out which closes the match thanks to Bovolenta Bravo to exploit the opportunity to the first match point.
