For the Cucine Lube players in the Italian selection group one of the most significant moments of their respective volleyball path is approaching. At 9 pm the game is played for world gold. The hosts of Poland will oppose Italy. The appointment with the world championship showdown has been missing since 1998. 24 years have passed since the day the Italian national team managed to climb to the top of the world. Strengthened by yesterday’s success with the maximum gap against Slovenia in the Semifinal, Simone Anzani, Fabio Balaso and Mattia Bottolo will fight against a rival of the highest quality. The opponents, reigning champions, will have to face great pressure, but will be pulled by the colored wall of their supporters and by incessant cheering.
The Azzurri has already achieved an extraordinary feat with the certainty of getting on a world championship podium that has been missing for too long. To separate the selection of Fefè De Giorgi from Olympus there was only one match, difficult, very hard, almost prohibitive. Our giants will sell their lives dearly, starting with the Italian champions: Anzani, author against the Slovenians of 4 point attacks, 2 winning blocks and 1 ace, will field his usual generosity, Balaso continues to confirm himself solid and prepares to do the possible … maybe even the impossible. Bottolo is aware of his own means, he knows that in the future he will have more than one chance, but he is ready to give his precious contribution if he is called into question this evening. The three red and white are part of a close-knit collective that will give their soul on the pitch, as always, and to whom thanks are already due for the road traveled so far! Come on guys, you can write history!
