Italvolley, now it’s serious business: hard at work ahead of Argentina

Having gained access to the round of 16 in which they will face Argentina on Sunday 21 at 9:30 a.m. Italian time (live on Rai 2, Raiplay.it, Rainews.it, DAZN, VBTV), the Azzurri today in the early afternoon moved to another hotel, closer to the SM Mall of Asia Arena, which after hosting pools A D, E and H will welcome the formations qualified for the knockout phase and who will face each other from tomorrow in the in-or-out matches.

Giannelli and his teammates, who as known have detached the pass for the second phase by virtue of their second place in Pool F behind Belgium, are getting acquainted right now with the playing field.

The rainbow review has so far reserved great surprises with illustrious eliminations such as that of the French Olympic bi-champions, Brazil, but also Germany, Japan and Cuba; in short, the level shown so far has turned out to be very high with all participating teams appearing really fierce.

The Azzurri, as mentioned, will find on their way Marcelo Mendez’s Albiceleste, a formation that the tricolor group knows very well and has faced several times in recent years, most recently on June 15 in Quebec City when Giannelli and his teammates imposed themselves with a score of 3-1 during the Volleyball Nations League.
