Three easy points easy but also signs of recovery. Important and comforting. The Setterosa overcomes 17-1 Israel and leaves behind the double stop with Spain vice-world champion and Holland champion of Europe and immediately projects on the next commitment, that of Sunday (11.30 am) against France, last of the preliminary phase, which becomes fundamental for the conquest of third place in group B of EuroBudapest 2020 and the possibility of facing the second in the quarterfinals, instead of the winner of the other group.
Note that France has the same points in the standings as the blue and won 10-6 with Israel and 17-5 with Germany.
The last precedent between Italy and Israel before today was the one, again at the European Championships, on July 14th 2018 in Barcelona, where it ended 21-2.
"Winning helps to win - said the coach of Setterosa Paolo Zizza - and therefore the result serves precisely to improve the morale of the group which has always remained high. We have improved the percentage achieved in numerical superiority and given little in defense. Now we must remain concentrate because on Sunday there is an important match against France, a growing opponent, to close the group in third place ".
