Azzurri who will try to hold their heads up tomorrow, even if they find themselves facing a very difficult hurdle like the Olympic champions in the United States.
Women’s water polo, World Cup 2023: Netherlands vs Italy 16-10. Setterosa was defeated in Athens
Commentary at the end of the game before Charles Celebeaublue: “I have nothing to blame the girls for, because playing without a coach by the pool is not easy: I take responsibility for this defeat. I must say I saw good things, like the reaction in the third half. Tomorrow we find the United States and we have a chance to redeem ourselves.”
Talk too Julia Fiacava: “Let’s not look for too many excuses: We didn’t apply the things we prepared in training. We gave them easy conclusions and restarts. Setterosa’s grit is a bit lacking. However, these defeats can help you grow and be stronger. We have tomorrow.” Indeed an opportunity to redeem ourselves against the United States and I am sure we will not be disappointed.”
