A compressor roller. The Italy of Julio Velasco also overwhelms Cuba 3-0 in the second match of Pool B of the women’s volleyball World Championships and launches towards the octaves. In Phuket Captain Danesi and companions stretch the strip-record of consecutive victories at 31 matches but, above all, they put in place a practically perfect performance, without smudges. Now Tuesday on the blue journey there is Belgium for the last meeting of the group phase which will sanction the first in the standings in the group. Against the Caribbean the girls of Velasco show further signals of growth in view of the next world championship commitments, despite the precautionary absence of Carlotta Cambi, on the bench with Cuba but with the second free shirt due to a slight muscle annoyance. “I like to emphasize that, although we were aware of the fact that Cuba was not a very strong team, the girls played with an extraordinary determination – the words of the blue coach Julio Velasco -. I think this is very important to allow us to get to the round of 16 with the ability to be on the piece even in a match from inside or outside. Then in the third set when I made changes, the girls needed a few moments of settling because it is never easy to take over when the initial team does so well. But they immediately settled in the field closing the set to 16 and showing that they are on the piece. Apart from Cambi, kept out of the way completely precaution today, all are fine and are immediately ready to give their best. I’m only sorry I could not give more space to Fersino to whom I did not give the second free shirt, I admit my mistake, because he could have played in the place of De Gennaro in the third set. Now Belgium awaits us, without a shadow of a doubt the strongest team that we will face in this pool with strong and expert players such as Herbots. For this reason I am happy with today’s performance that allows us to get ready for the appointment with Belgium and then go to Bangkok where we will be expected from the most intense period of the World Cup ». Against Cuba Velasco confirms the winning initial sextet with Slovakia: Orro-Egonu diagonal, nerve and Sylla crushing, Fahr and Danesi in the center, and De Gennaro Libero. Cuba instead begins the match with Moreno Pallerger, Madan opposite, Martinez and Tarin crushing, Dayana Martinez and Captain Suarez in the center, and Sanchez Libero. And the start of the race of the blue is applause: Egonu opens the dances with an attack on the whole arm not held by the Cuban wall, while Danish and Fahr in the center respond to the diagonal of Martinez. Like a roller compressor, the girls of Velasco continue to grind points on points highlighting the gaps of the Cuban forced to surrender in the first set with a clear 25-9. The same script also in the second set open by a 5-0 break of the blue that once again forces Cuba to resort to Timeout to try to stem the games at the network of Egonu, Danesi and Sylla. Velasco grants Campo in Fersino in the “Giro behind” for Sylla while in the field the blue monologue continues momentarily interrupted only at the end of the set 25-8. In the third game Velasco launches on the pitch to Giovannini, Anthropova, Omoruyi and the absolute debutants at the Sartori and Akrari World Cup. The new blue sextet uses some exchange to carbure, but then a pair of anthropova arm attacks and an Akrari Fast shake the blue that start finding the square on the pitch. The blue, now in rhythm, no longer look behind flying to the final goal crossed with the resolution 25-16. “We played with great determination just as our coach had asked us – he analyzed the blue driver Alessia Orro – now head at Belgium and it will certainly be a much more difficult game, being able to count on solid players”.
