Third consecutive defeat for Italy in Pool 1 of the Nations League. In the last engagement in Antalya of the Azzurre before returning to Italy, the girls led by coach Davide Mazzanti surrendered to the hosts of Turkey with the final score 3-0 (19-25, 24-26, 19-25) at the end of a very balanced match in the first two sets.
In an Antalya Spor Salunu packed with about 10 thousand spectators, Melissa Vargas made the difference against an Italy that showed signs of growth in the presence of a full opponent. Of note is the good debut of Linda Nwakalor on the court with her sister Sylvia for the first time in an official match.
It therefore closes with a haul of a victory (in the tiebreak with Thailand) and three defeats the Pool 1 on Turkish soil with the blues who will return to Italy in the night for a few days of break. This week the national team will meet again at the 'Giulio Onesti' Olympic Training Center in Rome, to work in view of Pool 2 of the Nations League scheduled in Hong Kong from 13 to 18 June.
