The blue exceed 3-2 (25-23; 19-25; 25-23; 15-25; 15-13) the master of the house, at the end of a crazy match, and win the chance to play in the tournament in Tokyo last chance to go to the Olympics
ANKARA (TURKEY) – A game Crazy, unbelievable, that he dispensed emotions from beginning to end, has made the third Italy’s place in the Olympic qualifying tournament in Ankara, and then the chance to play in Tokyo next summer another chance, the last to qualify for the next Olympics. The Italians were imposed 3-2 (25-23; 19-25; 25-23; 15-25; 15-13) in alternation which saw the two teams chase and surpass, between individual feats and unforgivable errors. Italy, who won suffering the first and third set, he immediately instead heavily in the second and fourth a Turkey which, driven by the home crowd has long cultivated our own dream.
L ‘ Italy won the day yet in the fifth set, yet measurement as it did with Belgium and Poland, confirming that you have clarity and coldness in the final races of long and difficult technical and nervous.
What are the qualities of this team indicate the generosity of some veterans: the captain Del Core before the other, able to shoulder the burden of receiving throughout the match to emerge in attack in the fifth deciding set; regularity at the highest level of Martina Guiggi valuable in attack and the wall, good service, perhaps the one that has earned the highest total in the five days, including games. But in the time of qualification to which all girls blue contributed in an important way it seems fair to remember once again that Italy has deployed in the field very long two seventeen year olds with only 12 races behind A1: Paola Egonu and Alessia Orro , who have taken the great satisfaction of closing the three sets won. The attacker first (with a dunk) and the third (with aces), the setter the tiebreak with a wall that has choked in my throat the cry of joy turkish.
Bonitta raised leaving the generous Chirichella instead of the Danes, confirming the sextet became holder along the way, that composed of Orro in directing, Diouf opposite Chirichella and Guiggi center, Ogonu and Del Core band, Sansonna free. But during the race there was much room for all. And each did his duty.
Italy started well, immediately return turkish, but closed with personality the first 25-23. In the second race so Turkey and returning into balance, in the third still the hosts 19-16 ahead also, but to decide is the grand finale Italian. Turkish and fourth tiebreaker, the synthesis of the entire match with the landlord which started strong, taking the lead 4-1, we have reached the 5-5. Our have pulled out all the pride and determination of which is capable splendid mix experience-youth put together by Bonitta. The Italians have reassembled were carried out, have failed a match ball and won a wall of exploiting young Orro, the beautiful setter of these finals, alternating occasion to expert Ferretti. A point that triggered the final party before to the astonished and disappointed public turkish. We’re still alive!
The PROTAGONISTI-
Marco Bonitta (Italy coach) – “ We are obviously good at playing the tiebreaker. And ‘our third win out of three in the fifth set in this tournament. However, we have an incredible heart and never give up. I am very happy for the girls. I’m just the coach and I could not affect much. This victory belongs entirely to my players. It ‘great to see a group with lots of young and more experienced players that come together in just ten days. I do not know if this is a good result, but I am happy that we are still alive for the Olympics . “
Egonu Paola (Italy) -” To be honest I’m a bit ‘surprised by this victory. I am very glad that we still have the chance to go to Rio. We played with all my heart, and all gave their best. I think I learned a lot in these games, I grew up a lot during the tournament, and I want to work hard so they can continue to grow. In Japan, I want to make myself ready . “
Antonella Del Core (Italy) -” We are going through a generational change and I think Bonitta has created an excellent mix between new and old us. The youth bring enthusiasm even among us more experienced. Turkey has faced this match at home enduring much mental pressure. I think this has played in our favor because we had a clearer mind. This victory fills me the joy . “
Martina Guiggi (Italy) -” It ”s an amazing feeling to win so! E ‘it was very hard until the last point, especially after having played three tie-break in five days. The whole team is very tired, but very happy. Over the last two sets I felt like a zombie, but I just I gritted my teeth to the end. Surely when you play games at this level, for a prize of the Olympics, everything is more difficult. Just before a big match like this you think about all the work and the sacrifices and the team did in the summer. The Olympic Games are a unique experience, the aim of all, we have done everything possible to get there . “
