Ekaterina Antropova makes a confession about Paola Egonu

Ekaterina Antropova in an interview with Gazzetta dello Sport expressed herself this way about the possible cohabitation with Paola Egonu in the Azzurri national team: "I never say no to the possibility of playing as a setter, even if it is more complicated from a technical point of view. The’only time I trained to do this è was with Italy in early summer. Let’s see what the future holds for us".

On the relationship with the champion from Cittadella, Ekaterina made a confession: "For me è it was very nice to train together with her, becauseé as a player, both in training and in the match, you see her make incredible shots. Like Zhu Ting from us, who sometimes makes amazing plays and you think, “But how did she do it?”. You are amazed for a moment becauseé these are not everyday things, after all we are talking about high level" players.

Mazzanti's now certain farewell to the Azzurri bench: "For the whole group, I am sorry that we did not reach the goals we had set for ourselves. Mazzanti gave me advice from a technical point of view. It’ s always interesting to understand what conception the various coaches have of volleyball, also because I haven’ t had so many so far. It has certainly enriched me in my volleyball life".

The Pre-Olympic flop: "There were moments that we did not handle well, sets that we could have won and we didn’t. But what I can say è that we always believed in it, we certainly did not lack conviction".
