hope bronze – In the third set the Italians are still the same Italy still suffers (the module is a short blanket in the second line ), but remains attached to the match with nails and teeth, while China does see wonders in the defense and Zhu Ting devastates the Italian defense. Willpower blue this time is not enough, the blue they try until the end, but to no avail. The battle for gold will be a deal between the United States and China.

The disappointment of Bonitta. Ap
Bonitta – “Tonight in the first two sets we did really struggling: they were attacking and defending while we could not affect the stop. Seeing that we were going well in reception I tried to strengthen the attack and the choice worked. We also had the chance to go to a tie-break, but overall we have to admit that China deserved the victory. The attack and our service was not effective enough, while the defense I think we did some good things. Despite the disappointment we all know that it is not over here, diminished the adrenaline of the game will need to focus on Brazil. At the end of the World is still missing a day. “
centoni -” Tonight we tried in every way, trying to remain attached to the game with the “teeth”, but it was not enough. Until the end it was a real battle. Compared to China views Bari defended great, the ball did not fall ever more impossible, and this is their great merit. Tomorrow we will have to find the strength to face Brazil, why dwell on what was good for nothing. It is true that China will play in the final 1-2 place, but we still have a chance to win a medal that would have a very high value. “
