Egonu
After the match coaches said:
“Not only the second and the third sets were difficult for us, the first set was challenging as well. We knew that it would be a close game and we had to play very solid especially in block and defence,” explained Italian coach Davide Mazzanti.
“We missed some easy points at the crucial moments but I am not disappointed. I am not happy with the result, but I am sure that the fans enjoyed a great game. We could stop the Italians quite regularly, but could not do so with Paola Egonu. We played at 90% of our abilities, but to be able to beat Italy, you have to be at 100%,” concluded Belgian coach Gert Van De Broek. “It will be very difficult to qualify in August when playing against another five strong teams.”
Egonu in this match scored 23 points.
