Supercup, Vero Volleyball explains Paola Egonu’s forfeit
No Supercup for Paola Egonu
The Italian women’s volleyball Super Cup will be played without one of the announced protagonists, Paola Egonu. The Olympic champion, in fact, will not take part in the challenge between her Numia Vero Volley Milan and Imoco Conegliano, who face each other Sunday afternoon contending for the first seasonal trophy.
The reason è has been explained by the Lombardy club itself, through an official note: “The Consorzio Vero Volley announces that the athlete Paola Egonu will not take part in the Fineco Supercoppa match, due to the persistence of a flu syndrome that prevented her from training with the rest of the team in the last weekly sessions”.
The 2024 Italian Super Cup pits this year’s Imoco Conegliano, last year’s winner of both the championship and the Italian Cup, against Numia Vero Volley Milan, which lost the final of the last national cup to the Venetian club. Venue for the match is the Palaeur in Rome.
Forfeit in the Supercup aside, Paola Egonu looks forward to the 2024/2025 season after a summer to remember: the 1998-born athlete è in fact, she was a great protagonist with the national team this summer, winning the Olympic gold medal as a protagonist and earning in Paris the title of best player of the tournament.

Roma, Paulo Dybala not playing: farewell in January?
Renewal with the Giallorossi is triggered only under certain conditions
Black moment in the Giallorossi’s house. In addition to the new coach issue, the club has to deal with Dybala’s stomach ache, struggling with an unhappy moment. Not summoned for the match with Bologna, è remained on the bench against St Gilloise and played just over 20′ against Hellas Verona.
To date he has played only nine league games (several as a substitute) with two goals on the score sheet. Little, very little for the one who should be the team’s ace. The excitement over his no to Al-Qadsiah’s rich offer has è already dissolved. Indeed, there are those who think he should have accepted the 75 million put on the plate by the rich Arab club (three-year contract).
As if that were not enough, in order to trigger the automatic renewal with the Giallorossi club, Dybala must play a certain number of games. Whether this is a viable route to take, in light of the many injuries that are affecting his performance, remains to be seen. If he is not è at top form, the Joya will not è be able to make the difference on the field as he would like.
At this point, we can not è rule out the possibility that he may decide to change air in January. Clearly, much will depend on the new Roma coach. A face-to-face between the two could be a game changer. At the moment, Dybala is not è happy with Roma and vice versa.

Juventus in trouble, Cristiano Giuntoli he needs two defenders
Bad news from Colombia for the HCL central
The injury to Bremer, Juventus’ defensive leader, has caused several problems for Thiago Motta, who now also has to deal with Cabal’s stop. As announced by the Colombian national team, the Juventus defender suffered the same ligament injury as the Brazilian. In short, a long stop is also looming for Cabal.
At this point, Thiago Motta finds himself with a defensive department at its lowest. Few resources and there’è always to consider the decidedly negative moment Danilo is going through. The Brazilian looked like he might even pack his bags in January (at this point everything could change, given the injury suffered by Cabal).
What is è certain è that Giuntoli, in January, will be forced to intervene heavily in the market. If before one central might have been enough, now the feeling è that two are needed, so as to give Thiago Motta more solutions at the defensive level. Many names are in play, all quite interesting but not easy to dress in bianconero.
There are two names circulating insistently. The first è that of Skriniar who, at PSG, is struggling to find space. The former Inter central seems perfect but also has a rather high salary. There is also the name of Hancko of Feyenoord, another element of great quality. Not easy to snatch him from Feyenoord (è an immovable starter at the Dutch club).

Serious mistake of the Heat’s bench that, in overtime, called timeout but without having any (resulting in a technical foul to the bench). Good performance by Fontecchio. Started from the bench, the Azure played 23’solid, scoring 10 points.

Not enough, in the Boston household, was the excellent performance of White, who finished with an impressive 31 points. Pure Brown shines (37 points) but the victory goes to Atlanta.
Despite Embiid’s season debut (13 points), Philadelphia falls again, this time beaten by New York (111-99).
