In Poland comes the 29th consecutive victory for the blue give the first set, then they do not give escape to Gabi and companions and they make the success of 2024. The turning point with the entry of anthropova and nervs. Injury for degrades
Italy-Brazil (22-25, 25-18, 25-22, 25-22)
Nothing can stop the Velasco band! After the historic Olympic gold in Paris, the unbeatable (29 successes in a row) women’s Italvolley also wins the Nations League – already ours a year ago, after the advent of Julio – with a 3-1 in comeback on the Brazil of Ze Roberto and Gabi. We win it more than ever with the group, also because the decisive steering gives it the baby nerve, anthropova and change from the bench. The umpteenth masterpiece of Velasco, ideal viaticum in view of the world championship that starts on August 22nd. The only discordant note, the knee injury of degrades.
first set
–
Italy starts badly, as often happens, but from 3-7 it gives the usual turn of lives, wins all the long exchanges, holds in defense and flies on 19-15 by enhancing a Bagher of Egonu for the parallel of Sylla who forces Ze Roberto to the timeout of frustration. However, it has the hoped for effect, because the blue have a blackout, Brazil draws 21 with the wall of Gabi on Egonu, the second mistake of the set on the third touch and a wrong support from degrades. An incredible partial of 10-3 for the South American – also thanks to Roberta’s entry for Macris – condemns us to give up the first part.
second set
–
A large Danes wall shakes us at the beginning of the set and two other Monster Blocks (Super that of Sylla) take us to 9-4. We go up on 13-5 with Julia and Bergman who seem to be back on Earth. The latter, however, places a wall on degrades that falling back is injured in the knee and must leave the field. Halved advantage (14-10) and new ghosts. A diagonal error by Gabi relaunches us to +6 and, dragged by Fahr, this time we no longer turn back until 25-18, with nervs that enters cold and anthropova immediately pounding and author of a spatial wall on Gabi.
third set
–
Ze Roberto tries to mix the cards at the partial start, but three errors in attack allow us to stretch on 5-2. Brazil, however, holds with Diana and Bergman and draws 9 with three points in a row that induce Velasco to insert anthropova for Egonu, who does not like. He shakes the 21-year-old nervous, the youngest of the troops, who with Anthropova (Monster Block on Gabi) sign the 15-11. On 18-13 for Italy, Ze Roberto calls Timeout and the move still pays: three points in a row and set reopened set. We stretch again with Sylla, Anthropova – albeit very marked – and still nervs until 24-20. We need three setpoints, but we go up 2-1 with another anthropova trace.
fourth set
–
Nerini also drags us at the beginning of the fourth partial, but another mini Blackout gives 4 points to Brazil who climbs 6-5 with Julia – devastating on the front line – and Bergman who do not want to know how to surrender and Velasco who tries to change the dribbler: inside changes for Orro. Gabi awakens and we proceed point to point despite the same changes and nervs are possessed. Gabi and Julia, however, begin to wall, you have to suffer to the last. The blue, however, are granite, lengthen again with Fahr and the lion Sylla. We close it to the third matchpoint. So it is even more beautiful.
