A hunger for revenge and a thirst for pulpit. The memory of the recent defeat suffered by the Nations League and the possibility of entering the top 4 in the World Championships pushed Italy to coach De Giorgi in the quarter-final against France, the gold medal in the last Olympics and the winner of the tournament. Beating in the US Final. Four challenges and only one set lost to the Azzurri, who after the clear lane in the group (side note: USA’s struggles against Turkey dramatically raise 3-0 which Giannelli and his buddies cut back for the Turks) in the second round.

Coming to … Starting at seven, three appeared in the perfect team for the Olympics: Irvine and Modena “Monsieur Magique” Ngapeth as spiker (event MVP), “Babar” Chinenyeze in the middle (new starring acquisition by Civitanova) and Genia Grebnikov who remains the world’s best interpreter in a free role. Two other winners (Seat 4 Klevignot and opposite Battery) were satisfied with the perfect formation of the Nations League, winning the Unipol Arena at the end of July and Ngapeth remains the best player in the event. Piacenza’s manager, Antoine Brizzard, fanning the balls in the control room, Benjamin Toniotti covering his back. As additional owners, three former members of our SuperLega: the restless Stephen Boyer (versus the ex-Verona, his entry with Japan was decisive), Art’s son Kevin Tilly (who wore the Ravenna, Modena and Latina shirts), both engaged to the Polish and Yasin Loati who married in Fenerbahce .
