Italy continues its march towards the European Championships 2023 of women’s volleyball, which will start on August 15th with the challenge against Romania in the splendid setting of the Verona Arena. Our national team played the second and last match joint training behind closed doors with Serbia by coach Giovanni Guidetti. The European Champions faced the World Champions, creating four particularly intense sets closed with the 2-2 score (25-18; 25-19; 20-25; 25-27) at Palazzo Wanny in Florence.
Coach Davide Mazzanti opted for this titular sextet: Alessia Orro in the control room, Paola Egonu opposite to, Miriam Sylla and Elena Pietrini crushers, Anna Danesi and Marina Lubian the power plants, Eleonora Fersino the free. Guidetti instead relied on the bomber Tijana Boskovic diagonally with Ognjenovic, Uzelac and Busa di banda, Stevanovic and Popovic in the center, Jegdic the libero. The formations then changed during the match and there was space for the highly anticipated debut in blue of Ekaterina Antropovathat has played as a spiker in the third setwalking down in the field together with Egonu and Sylla: ultra offensive trident that could prove to be a valid solution during the continental review.
Antropova then played opposite in the fourth half, taking the place of Egonu and being supported by the hammers Omoruyi and Villani, with Lubian and Squarcini in the center (as in the third set). Paola Egonu scored 14 points, Ekaterina Antropova finished with 17 points on the scoresheet, 11 for Sylla, 9 for Lubian, 7 for Pietrini, 5 for Orro, 2 for Danesi, 3 for Nwakalor, 1 for Squarcini. Boskovic top scorer among the Serbian ranks with 17 points.
