An analysis by coach Mazzanti after the defeat at the Olympics was read as an invitation to do fewer posts. Sylla: “Sport teaches that a failure always follows a revenge”
Because it was there Serbia, because they had lost three consecutive finals with them, because there were 20 thousand people in Belgrade. Because they have removed that shadow from their shoulders, that of the eternal second. When it was good, second. It could have been the game that would have destroyed them, psychologically mind you, it was that of rebirth. Of a gold that hadn’t arrived for twelve years. There were Lo Bianco, Piccinini, Aguero, Del Core. The anthology of volleyball. The victory of the European Championship it was group, total, liberating. The history of the women’s volleyball team passes through huge wounds and irrepressible joys. The injuries are the Olympic Games. In Tokyo it was not the first time that the dream shattered too soon (in 2008 in Beijing with Del Core stopped before departure from a heart problem and the death of Aguero’s mother reached even greater heights). But there is no doubt that Mazzanti’s girls they had created a media expectation around them that had never been there before. And so the fall was noisy, broken, painful. Today these girls can shout to the world (and they do, looking at their social posts) that they know how to win and not just talk. Which are strong, united, cohesive. And they know how to get up, above all. Because the victory with Serbia is their revenge. The revenge of those in this group, Mazzanti first, who always believed in it.

The fall at the Olympics it had left aftermath. In Tokyo, “the distraction of social media” was over in the dock. It all started with an analysis carried out by coach Mazzanti: «We already have many emotions, I told the girls try to break away». Words that had been read as an invitation
to greater concentration. They were followed controversy, with the press and fans who blamed the setback of the national team, which left for Tokyo with the stigmata of the favorite, to too many volleyball posts.

After the victory, in the locker room seething with joy, Paola Egonu freshly appointed as the tournament’s MVP, she wanted to respond to criticism. And obviously he chose a social network, in this case Instagram: «And after all the m … a, we are champions». Which he followed about twenty Stories reposted by the profiles of fans and friends who praised the blue team and his extraordinary performance (as many as 29 points grounded).

Coach Mazzanti did not return to the subject, but he complimented his players: «The girls did a great thing – said the coach speaking to RaiSport microphones -. I am drained, it has been a very tough time, but now I am very happy for the girls who have gone to take this success. We needed it. It was nice to see them having fun in these last few games, and expressing their talent. Sylla suffered a lot, I’m happy for her and for all the others. It has been a long summer, in which we have struggled. I think the girls did something extraordinary».

Also measured the exultation of captain of the national team, Miriam Sylla, entrusted to a post in which it appears exultant on the pitch after the last and decisive point scored by the team: «I believe that sport is dedicated to all those people who life has led to doubt their own worth – he argued -. Because it teaches us that nothing matters about the past, but only the now; that a failure always follows a revenge; ; that the value is not given by how you win, but from how you get up».
