Returning then to the individual interpreters of this splendid victory, we must necessarily dedicate important lines to Moki De Gennaro, Alice Degradi And Myriam Sylla. The eternal free is more and more stainless talentcapable of challenging the laws of time and physics to further raise the quality of the Italian block-defense, as if the duo’s superb work at the net wasn’t already enough Danesi-Fahr. De Gennaro personifies the living manual of the libero: with all due respect to those who had opted for a generational change during the four-year Olympic period, certainly not the wisest idea for approaching Paris 2024. Degradi takes over instead in the final of the first set at one Caterina Bosetti very careful in defense and reception, but not very effective in attack, thus exploiting yet another opportunity as a “substitute”. The 55% offensive efficiency is only the tip of the iceberg in Alice’s excellent performance, which is now confirmed invaluable tactical solution for Velasco, also because she was always poor in defense and despite some mistakes in reception. Finally Sylla, theimmense Sylla. Yes, after all this is the most suitable adjective to describe the current version of Myriam: targeted by the opponent’s serve, but almost never in crisis, omnipresent in defense, leonine in attack and also precious on the block. What more could you ask for? With the injury of Elena Pietrini, Italvolley has undoubtedly lost a lot of potential in place four, but as long as the Degradi-Sylla pair plays like this, there is no problem. Tomorrow, most likely, theobstacle will be even more difficult to overcome: Brazil is a huge favorite in its semi-final against Japan, although the Japanese national team knows how to create exploits with special effects. However, until tomorrow there is plenty of time to enjoy this wonderful victory. Italy is there first finalist of the VNL 2024; We’ll take care of the rest tomorrow.
