The words of Julio Velasco

Julio Velasco spoke to RAI microphones l the end of the Olympic final won 3-0 by women's Italvolley against the United States. "È it was an extraordinary Olympics, we lost only one set, I think it is a record. The girls were formidable in never losing the edge, we were always in the match with great clarity and fire. The final è was the best match we played". 

"C'è great pride for this team, for this staff and for Italian volleyball. The federation and Coni have put us in the best conditions to work. È a victory for the movement. With this victory women’s volleyball canò make on jump. È a victory came after 4 months of work, these girls have compacted as a group".

"Peace after Atlanta 1996? No. I don’t feel like Roberto Baggio who says he has no peace because he missed the penalty shot, he should be at peace too. It happens. That team è was an amazing team that lost a game because of two balls. I accepted it because it's a sports thing. I never had the'obsession that I missed the'gold".
