Alessia Orro and her companions get their third victory out of as many matches in the Volleyball World Cup in progress in the Netherlands and Poland. If the first matches with Cameroon and Puerto Rico had been won without too many worries for 3-0, the blues today in Arnhem suffered and won a 3-1 comeback against Belgium , in a very hard-fought match for at least three sets: 21 -25, 30-28, 29-27, 25-9 the score .
“If the suffering serves to grow, today we have grown a lot, in the difficulty we have been able to bring out the quality”, commented the coach Davide Mazzanti.
Italy will return to the field against Kenya next Thursday. After a complicated and lost first set, the blue took a huge risk in the second, winning it in the sprint. In the third fraction, which also seemed to be in the hands of the Belgians who were ahead 24-19, the European champion national team gave life to an extraordinary comeback and finally dominated the last set.
A very precious victory for the Italians, alone in the lead of group A with full points . With the setter from Oristano Alessia Orro increasingly irreplaceable and point of reference. On the shields as always Paola Egonu, with 31 points . Danesi also did well with 16 and Bosetti with 14 points.
