Julio Velasco, clear words on Paola Egonu and Ekaterina Antropova
Presentation day for the new technical commissioner of the national women’s volleyball team Julio Velasco: "I am very happy, there is no better way to live old age. I want to thank Uyba, I understand that they were in a difficult situation. I am a little bit excited, è it is a great responsibility to coach a team that has achieved such great results and that è has been a fan favorite along with the men".
Velasco è immediately expressed himself on the Egonu-Antropova querelle, which has heated up so much in the past few months: "If I have a concern è for reception, for defense, certainly not for offense. If I had problems managing great players, I wouldn't have accepted the assignment. Egonu and Antropova very strong but they will not play together. Then maybe after a training session I change my mind, but as of today I see it that wayì".
On Paris 2024: "È a fundamental goal, for now we will only think about that. Forò è a staff that also looks beyond, to after the Olympics, is fundamental. Let’s not create too many expectations, we need an ability to adapt to difficulties. We will have to make antibodies for pressure".
The renunciation of double duty: "I have always been against it, even when it was economically convenient for me. I think if one coaches the national team, one must concentrate only on that".
