Italy also shines against Turkey

2 days after 3-0 win against Russia On Tuesday, the Azzurre defeated Turkey, who had won the first group game against defending champions China 3-0, 3-1 (25:22, 23:25, 25:20, 25:15). At the moment it looks like Italy will be fighting for group victory with the USA. Foil is further protected Raphaela Folie was not used for Italy in the second group game either. The middle blocker from Missian will continue to be rested due to her knee problems. Her teammates are currently doing an excellent job anyway. Folie warned before the game on Tuesday: “Turkey is strong, serves extremely well and plays technically high-quality volleyball.” Paola Egonu (right) is the Azzurre's most striking player. © APA/afp / ANGELA WEISS

This is exactly what Turkey, which is coached by Italian star coach Giovanni Guidetti, showed against Azzurre – at least to some extent. But Italy was simply too strong overall and only narrowly had to admit defeat in the second set. Especially in the fourth round, Davide Mazzanti's team gave Turkey no chance. Once again Paola Egonu was outstanding with 2 points.

Italy's next game is on Thursday night (2 a.m. CEST). Then it's against Argentina. Italy – Türkiye 3-1 Italy: Malinov 3, Egonu 29, Danesi 6, Fahr 10, Pietrini 4, Bosetti 13, de Gennaro (L). Sorokaite, Sylla 9, Orro. No: foil, chirichella. Coach: Mazzanti
