Italvolley, encore with Germany in VNL even without Paola Egonu

Second consecutive success for Italy in Pool 2 of the Volleyball Nations League. Twenty-four hours after the victory over the United States, CT Julio Velasco’s girls bent Germany at the Maracanazinho in Rio de Janeiro 3-2 (22-25; 25-10; 20-25; 25-13; 15-9). Heavy result son of a solid performance that saw the Azzurri put in new important signs of physical growth and especially at the level of on-court understanding essential to react to the effective and brash play of the German team at the end of five very intense sets.

On the bench sat Paola Egonu in the libero jersey who in the morning, during the pregame training, had experienced hypotensive syndrome due to heat and high humidity recorded at the training camp in Rio de Janeiro.

Egonu, monitored by the Azzurri medical staff, promptly recovered but kept at rest as a precautionary measure in view of the upcoming commitments awaiting the Azzurri in Brazil.

Today, in fact, Italy again at 10:30 p.m. (Italian time), live on TV on DAZN and streaming on VBTV, will face South Korea, aiming to score their third success in a row in Pool 2 in Rio de Janeiro.
