Italvolley, in Monza the goal is to make an encore performance
Italvolley in Monza
Everything is ready in Monza for the return to the court of the Azzurri. Tomorrow at 9 p.m. (live on TV on Rai 2, Rai Sport and Sky Sport Summer) Italy will face Switzerland in the challenge valid for the third day of Pool B of the Women’s European Championship 2023. After the success in the opener against Romania, captain Sylla and her teammates will go in search of the second consecutive victory against a Switzerland, in turn, just back from a tiebreak loss to Bosnia and Herzegovina. Meanwhile, anticipation is growing in Monza for the first of the Azzurri’s two challenges in Brianza with an Arena that promises to be ready to party.
Davide Mazzanti is pumped up: “The match in Verona was different from all the others because for the first time we were the setting for something extraordinary,” began Davide Mazzanti. “It was exciting, a show within a show that we will carry in our memories and I am happy that all the girls took the court to enjoy that show. Now we go back to playing in a usual environment, two consecutive matches to manage also from a physical point of view. I think my assessment about what we are and will have to do will start with tomorrow’s game with Switzerland.”
Alessia Orro echoed him, “It was a magical evening in Verona,” said the Italian setter, “We had been told that sports were forbidden inside and that the last sporting event held there was a volleyball match 35 years ago. It was something historic that one day I will be able to tell my grandchildren about because I can say that I took part in something really crazy. Starting tomorrow we will play in Monza which is kind of my home since I have been here for 4 years. I am so happy to take the field with the national team jersey right here. Now, however, we have to study our opponents well although more generally I can say that we will have to be focused above all on expressing our game to the best of our ability. The goal now is to grow step by step to find, toward the end, the right balance to put our full potential on the court.”

Ferrari, Frederic Vasseur goes on the attack
The words of Frederic Vasseur
After the difficulties encountered in free practice, Ferrari è managed to redeem itself greatly in qualifying for the Las Vegas GP, finishing second with Carlos Sainz and fourth with Charles Leclerc. At the microphones of “Sky Sport F1”, the team principal of the Maranello-based stable Frederic Vasseur wanted to praise the performance of its two drivers, but at the same time charge them ahead of the race, where the Spaniard and the Monegasque will have a chance to make up ground in the constructors’ championship on McLaren, which struggled and not a little in qualifying.
“I don’t sign to have today’s result in the race, forò we have to push for more. A one-two è a bit optimistic, but we are in a good position. We know that this season we go a little bit stronger in the race than in qualifying. We struggled all weekend to find a good lap and at the end of Q3, at least with Carlos, we succeeded. Now, forò we have to complete the task tomorrow. Our race pace simulation è was positive, so we are confident” began Ferrari team principal at the microphones of “Sky Sport F1”.
“As in the last races, we will have to be careful here to manage the tires well. On this track if you have speed; è it is possible to overtake and we have good top speed, so we are ready to attack in the race. I’m not surprised that Carlos finished ahead of Charles on a street circuit, because Sainz è Sainz è was better at getting the tires up to temperature on the preparation lap. Both, however, did a great job and Leclerc, despite the difficulties he had today, will still have a chance to come back in the race” added Frederic Vasseur.
With three races to go McLaren leads the constructors’ championship with 593 points with a 36-point lead over Ferrari.

Raffaele Palladino cuddles Moise Kean
Palladino’s words
Raffaele Palladino has now got into gear with his Fiorentina after a difficult start: “Despite the defeat against Atalanta I realized that I had a strong team in my hands that was growing. From there on, I think it was a path all on the rise and probably Bergamo è was the turning point”.
“Kean? I touched the keys of’love and gave confidence to a boy who needed a lot of confidence and needed to find self-esteem. È he was very good because he é made himself available to the group with great humility; he did a great job on himself and in my opinion has great margins for improvement. Not even Moise knows how much room for improvement he has”.
The purple coach to Sportmediaset also talked about the calendar: “Surely the commitments are many, in fact there are many injuries, we also have to be good coaches to try to give even a few days off to the boys because they also need a few days off”.

George Weah cheers for Juventus against AC Milan
The words of George Weah
George Weah è ready for an AC Milan-Juventus to live as a Juventus fan: “As a child I was a die-hard Juventus fan, I was crazy about Platini: I never stopped supporting Juventus. You can say that my son has fulfilled my dream sì. And to think that I had talked about him for Milan, with Maldini. But Juve è the right team for him, beyondà my tifo”.
“When I was at Monaco I could have ended up at Juve but in the end I stayed in Ligue 1, moving to PSG, becauseé Wenger advised meé to mature further before going to a top league like Serie A”.
“I dreamed of Juve but how could anyone say no to the Rossoneri? Mica me è went wrong: five fantastic seasons, I still feel with Sebastiano Rossi, Boban, Marco Simone…”.
“Trent’years ago I was playing against the team of my heart but I never backed down and in fact I often scored goals for them. Of course I was happy to score but also a little bit sad: they are still my two favorite teams. Tonight if Juve wins I am happy, if Milan wins I would not be 100 percent happy but a little bit; because Milan has done so much for me”.
