Sorrento celebrates Italy’s gold medal at the World Championships in the Philippines, along with its talented Giovanni Maria Gargiulo. A fantastic match between our favorites ended 3-1.
On the other side of the net was Coach Blengini’s Bulgaria, Leoni’s first World Cup final in 55 years. Aside from the third set, the Bulgarians had little to gain against the overwhelming power of Gianelli and his teammates, who won their second consecutive world title, bringing Italy’s record to five victories at this prestigious international event.
Preslav Petkov, who entered at the end of the fourth set, will thus arrive in Sorrento in a few days, winning his silver medal, but he was powerless against the powerful attacks and serves of Bottolo, Romanò, and the Italian powerhouse. Romeo Sorrento’s new middle blocker finished the tournament with seven points (four attacks and three blocks) and a memorable performance in the semifinal against the Czech Republic, where he made a significant contribution to the victory.
Following the recent arrival of Vicente Parraguirre, Romeo Sorrento will be able to train with its entire roster ahead of its first year in Serie A2.
