Not even the efforts of the Club World Cup seem to worry the race of Santarelli’s girls who also beat Talmassons with some difficulty, Numia clearly prevails in Rome
The The strains of the Club World Cup are being felt but Conegliano always seems to be able to find the resources to bring home the victory. Milan also makes no mistakes upon returning to the field in the A1 series with the Boxing Day of the women’s A1 which also offers important figures for two stars of our volleyball: Paola Egonu and Monica De Gennaro.
Conegliano, the art of knowing how to win
The Imoco Conegliano seems to have found the perfect formula to be successful. Returning to play in the league after the efforts of the Club World Cup and a historic victory was not easy, at home against Talmassons we celebrate the triumph achieved in China but it is also the time to get serious. Santarelli’s girls are undoubtedly less brilliant than usual, the Friulian team gives the world champions a hard time who win in three sets but have to fight until the end of each set to be able to break the opposition’s resistance. In the end comes the 23rd consecutive victory of this season with Monica De Gennaro confirms herself as queen of the holidays with the tenth victory achieved on Boxing Day.
Milan avalanche in Rome
It was also a game full of pitfalls Numia Milano on the Smi Roma pitch. But in the end Sylla and her teammates take home the three points quite clearly. Third place in the Club World Cup, greeted with a mixture of disappointment and satisfaction, could be important fuel for the rest of the season. At the PalaEur, Lavarini’s girls play a “surgical” match against the Capitoline team: always a very close match but in key moments Numia was able to make the most of not only their higher technical level but also their habit of playing tight matches. Another sumptuous performance for Paola Egonu who closed on 21 points and took the record as the best scorer of the Boxing Day, surpassing Carmen Turlea.
