Volley the protagonists of the Inthailand World Cup

On his third world, Paola Egonu is ready to take the scene. She is the most awaited player of the world championship review that will start tomorrow in Thailand. In both apparitions, the blue made a lot of talk about himself: in 2018 he excited with the record of points in the national team in a game (45 in the semifinal won 3-2 with China), in 2022 he struck the bitter “stolen” outburst with his prosecutor. On the two occasions, the Cittadella bomber rose on the podium: the first time silver, the second bronze. But to complete her extraordinary palmares in the blue jersey she is missing the world title. In the 32 teams at the start of the World Cup there are some athletes who advance the candidacy of Anti-Egonu and will try to undermine the blue from the throne of Queen of World Volleyball, a title earned over the years and sublimated last summer by the Olympic success.

Conegliano

In the group C, eyes focused on Gabi. Brazil’s crusher is the leader of Ze Roberto’s selection who will try to stop the blue race. The world palmares of the Conegliano player is identical to that of Egonu: a silver (2022) and a bronze (2014). And the greenoorus in the semifinals could cross the blue race. Dutch Nika Daalderop will also wear the Venetian club shirt. With his national team, the former Milan player will be on the field in group A where he will give life to a derby in Imoco sauce because Isabelle Haak’s Sweden also appears in the same pool. In the group and the star is unquestionably Melissa Vargas. The Turkish naturalized Cuban opposite will lead the selection coached by Daniele Santarelli: in the group, expected derby between Italian coaches with Giovanni Guidetti on the Canada bench. After the European gold of 2023, Turkey dreams of a world medal never conquered in the history of the country.

And the outgoing champion team? Serbia is struggling with a large generational renewal and the bomber Tijana Boskovic may not be enough to confirm herself gold for the third consecutive time. The opposite Mancina, ready to move to VakifBank after a ten -year militancy in the Eczacibase, another team in Istanbul, already in the elimination phase – is included in Group H – will have to deal with one of the most awaited national teams: Japan. The Japanese will have the leader in Mayu Ishikawa. Yuki’s sister, captain of the men’s selection and strength of the European champions of Perugia, the two -seasons crusher played in the championship (first in Florence and then in Novara) and with the Piedmontese he will participate in the next Champions League. In Nations League Japan managed to bring the blue of Velasco to the tie-break.

expected in A1

Two players close the lot that from 6 October we will review at the start of the 1. In the United States, renewed after Olympic silver, there will be Avery Skinner. In recent seasons the crusher has highlighted in Chieri and in the next he will play in Scandicci. Inserted in group D, the USA in the round of 16 will cross the Pool of Türkiye. Same goes for the Dominican Republic of Brenda Castillo. The free of Scandicci – the strongest in the role after our De Gennaro -, with a past also in Milan, leads a national team now down. Inserted in pool F with the fearsome China, in the round of 16 it could find Brazil. They are unlikely that their world championship can go beyond the round of 16.
