Milan, 27 September (LaPresse) – "We've been playing a lot of important matches against Poland lately, because when you reach the final stages of tournaments, playing against Poland means you're playing for something serious. That's what happened today; sometimes they were good, today we were better. We held our ground when they tried hard to come back with their serves, blocks and attacks. We didn't lose our composure, even when we conceded two or three points at delicate moments." This is how Ferdinando De Giorgi commented on Italvolley's victory over Poland and their qualification for their second consecutive World Cup final. "The team remained very focused throughout, with a clear idea of what they had to do to come out on top. We had talked about it, we had prepared for it, and so all the lads were clear-headed in the choices they made. Today, it must be said that Francesco Sani, when he came on, turned around some important moments in the sets. Luca Porro also made a great contribution, as did Anzani, who made some decisive blocks. This must be our spirit.‘ ’Now we are still in the running, a group in which everyone gives their all on the court and makes a difference. Bulgaria is a team that deserved to reach the final, somewhat surprisingly, in the sense that there were strong teams on the other side that were eliminated, but not through any fault of their own: Bulgaria played very well. They are a talented, strong team, so tomorrow we must prepare ourselves for a match that will be played until the very end," he concluded.
