The closing of a circle for Julio Velasco. He was the creator of the generation of phenomena, the team that had won everything, but not the Olympic gold. Today he achieved great satisfaction, his team won 17 sets in a row, putting the Olympic medal around his neck. The Italian women’s team had never been up there, they had always dreamed of getting there, but they had never even achieved a podium.
Calm, thoughtful, brilliant, a strategist on the volleyball court. He, his staff and his girls are behind this historic result. Let’s face it, Julio had arrived amidst general skepticism, in a moment of controversy, which is never lacking in these latitudes. A few moves, the girls in the right place and a gold Olympics that will make you rub your eyes. Today at 2.23pm we were in front of the television rejoicing. A moment we will hardly forget. Let’s embrace each other ideally, we are capable of winning.
Let’s embrace each other and be proud of our sport, because in other disciplines you will hardly find opponents applauding the winner. This is volleyball. Thanks Julio.
Thanks girls.
Brothers of Italy, Italy has woken up to Scipio’s helmet and has surrounded its head.
