Paola Egonu may not be enough ...

@Vincenzo #PaolaEgonu #Italy #Turkey 

The Akara Arena will be a hellish pit; but if Italy keeps its nerve and stays focused, it should make it ... maybe. 

The problems seen against China are many and Paola Egonu cannot always win alone and, among other things, at the end of the game she seemed very tired. 

There is a bit of everything to improve: the effectiveness at the serve and against the block, the quality in the construction of the game with Orro who certainly did not play his best game and Malinov who leveraged experience without overdoing it. Sylla is liked in the second row fundamentals but she suffers tremendously in attack where she struggles to find solutions other than hitting hard on the hands of the block, and even the middle-blokers have been watching for lack of good balls to play. 

In short, an imperfect and discontinuous and "Egonucentric" Italy, which has managed to beat China but does not play at its best. Against Turkey we will have to raise the level of play, or we risk going out ...
