REPORT CARD ITALY-POLAND 3-0 NATIONS LEAGUE WOMEN’S VOLLEYBALL
Saturday 22 June
Paola Egonu, 9: absolutely unmarkable. The Polish women are unable to stem it in any way. She fires broadsides indifferently diagonally or parallel, continually eliciting admiring “ooohs” from the spectators. 22 points for her, with 50% in attack, 2 blocks and 1 ace. When she plays like that, she’s number 1.
Alessia Orro, 9: extraordinary match. Clean, precise and tidy direction. But he also surpasses himself in the offensive phase with 2 second touches and the beauty of 5 blocks! 7 points for a setter is huge. You played a ‘Giannelli-style’ match.
Myriam Sylla, 8: game of great substance, in attack he puts balls on the ground continuously and scores 11 points. Her floating serve is always insidious, but the best news is that she is also becoming a certainty in reception, she who was the weak link in this fundamental. The Velasco treatment is taking effect and has improved her.
Alice Degradi, 7: comes on in place of Caterina Bosetti at the end of the first set. At the beginning she struggles, then little by little she manages to get going and becomes a precious resource with her power in attack (6 points). Furthermore, she doesn’t disfigure herself even in reception and defense. At this point the 28-year-old poses a serious candidacy for a starting place not only in the Nations League final, but also at the Paris 2024 Olympics.
Anna Danesi, 7.5: he’s really everywhere on the block, he touches almost all the Polish attacks. He finishes with 5 points, with 3 blocks and 2 winning attacks.
Sarah Fahr, 7: unusually ineffective in attack, but on the block he drives Polish spikers crazy and manages to dirty their attacks.
Caterina Bosetti, 5: unfortunately he is not at his best physically, and it shows. In the first set he makes repeated errors in attack, the substitution is inevitable. Despite his undisputed qualities in the second line, to date he offers fewer guarantees than Degradi.
Monica De Gennaro, 8: this night will appear in Polish girls’ nightmares. In defense he is a rubber wall, he doesn’t drop anything. Always very precious with her bagher dribbles during the counterattack phases.
