A day of rest before the last matches of pool A of the women's volleyball world cup. After yesterday's painful victory against Belgium , the blue will face Kenya on Thursday and then, on Sunday, the hosts of Holland.

An exciting and hard-fought match yesterday, especially in the second and third set. With determination and character , the European champions managed to obtain a very precious victory for the standings , and even more so in the second phase, in which the teams will carry all the results of the first round with them.

While waiting for the match against Kenya, the director Alessia Orro, from Oristano, speaks at home: "The match against Belgium was very demanding, so we have to recover to face the match with Kenya in the best possible way. against Cameroon and Puerto Rico it was very different, we had a tough opponent in front of us . Belgium defended a lot and we made a lot of effort to score points. Our greatest merit, however, was that of not giving up and losing our heads when we were below, we fought for every ball ".

Orro underlines that against Italy " all the formations always give 100%, we are the team to beat and every game we have to add a piece . Going forward in the World Cup, more and more difficult challenges will come, but we are ready for this, we want to deal with the best opponents and have fun on the pitch ".

"Here in Arnhem - the conclusion - two more games await us, with Kenya we will have to be very careful not to lower the pace, instead against the Netherlands it will be necessary to raise the bar of our game, because they are a good team. the goal is to get out of this group with maximum points ".
