Paola Egonu or Ekaterina Antropova: Julio Velasco è categorical
Julio Velasco, coach of women's Italvolley has not dissolved the big doubt about who will be the starter between Paola Egonu and Ekaterina Antropova, starting in the upcoming Nations League. "He won t allow me to ask this question, he will do the Mourinho, he will argue with all journalists who will ask me this question he stressed during the presentation press conference of the& Italian national volleyball teams at Palazzo Lombardia, in Milan.
"We are a team, period,” added the Italo-Argentine coach. “Do not talk to me about this issue because I will never answer. All the players have to overcome their limitations and for each of them I have chosen something that bothers them: we need a change of mentality and to be tough in difficult moments. If you hear complaints, it means we are doing well, if they are not there we lack the willà to want to overcome them".
"I hope in a few years it will be possible to say that there’è has also been a generation of phenomena among women. The girls are working tremendously. We have only one problem that we cannot solve to which, for that reason, we do not devote more than 10 seconds: the girls will come at 4 different times".
"I did not summon any players who did not play as a starter in the club: this I think is an important change, a deterrent for young people who prefer clubs with a nicer bus and a bit’ more money. Personal freedom è is absolute, as is ours not to summon those who do not play in the club" Velasco commented on the summoning criteria.
