After yesterday’s positive debut (3-0 against Russia) for Davide Mazzanti’s girls it is already time to think about the next, challenging, obstacle. Tomorrow, at 4.25 pm local time, 9.25 am in Italy, the Turkey of Giovanni Guidetti (vice champions of Europe) will be on the path of women’s Italian volleyball, who yesterday had the better of the Olympic champions of China. Another complicated race, in short, for Egonu and her teammates engaged in a difficult group. The blue, however, had a good start; therefore it will be important to try to be continuous in this sense. Tomorrow will be the first match between the two teams at the Olympic Games, while in total the previous matches between Italy and Turkey are 63 with 47 blue victories and 16 defeats.
