The three Emma Villas Aubay Siena players who are competing in the World Cup are all three qualified with their respective national teams for the round of 16 of the international event currently taking place in Poland and Slovenia.
Opposite Giulio Pinali took the field in Italy’s 3-0 win against China: “We had a great group stage and won the best we could – is his comment. – We have achieved three victories, three important results in which we hoped to place ourselves in the best possible way in this phase. We haven’t experienced point-to-point challenges yet, as soon as they arrive we will have to manage those moments even when the pressure builds. My entry into the field was a great emotion. At that moment we were playing well, we were ahead in the score, so I entered rather calmly. I want to be ready if there is a need for me also in the next matches ”.
The Azzurri will face Cuba in the round of 16: “This is a very tough national team – says the blue opposite – we have watched their matches. They are a very physical formation, they have great qualities both in attack and in batting. We will have to push hard and it will certainly be a good sporting battle ”. Pinali also addresses a joke to Siena: “I can’t wait to start with Emma Villas Aubay, to make my season and carve out my space”, he declares.
Nemanja Petric’s Serbia also qualified for the round of 16, who will face Argentina in a huge challenge. Maarten Van Garderen’s Holland will play against Ukraine.
