Not the Chinese women s volleyball team, not the world champion team, the strongest team in the World League, has won ten consecutive victories

On July 11, the World Women's Volleyball League, the Netherlands Apeldoron Station ushered in a focus showdown, with Paris Olympic champion Italy vs. World Championship champion Serbia. In the end, the Italian women's volleyball team defeated Serbia 3-0 (25-17, 26-24, 25-20) with their strong performance. Not only did they win ten consecutive victories in this VNL, but they also firmly ranked first in the World League standings and secured tickets to the finals in advance. Boskovic, who returned from injury, failed to save Serbia's decline. The team currently has only 1 win and 9 losses and is still in the relegation zone. Since the start of the game, the Italian women's volleyball team has shown an almost impeccable overall dominance. Under the dispatch of coach Julio Velasco and assistant coach Massimo Barbolini, the depth of the lineup and technical and tactical maturity have reached its peak.

According to the game, at the beginning of the game, Italy quickly entered the state. Farr's fast break, Serra's blocking, and Egnu's strong attack established an advantage in succession. Although Serbia once chased 5-6 by Boskovic and Ivanovic, Italy once opened the score through double blocking and substitution tactic adjustments. The "double exchange" combination of Antropova and substitute setter Cambi had a significant effect, and Italy easily won the first place 25-17.

Serbia adjusted the serving rhythm and took the lead in the second game, but Italy's stable mentality gradually recovered the score. Boskovic opened fire and helped Serbia lead to 20-16 for a time. However, at the critical moment, Italy once again used the "double replacement" tactic, Antropova spiked the ball and overtook the score to 24-23. With Nelvini's key score, Italy thrillingly reversed 26-24 to win the second game.

entered the third inning, Egnu continued to put pressure, Farr and Danesi scored in turn, and Italy scored a fantasy start of 7-4. Although Serbia relied on Ivanovic and Boskovic to tie the score to 16, Italy quickly led the way again with Nelvini's outstanding performance and back-row guarantee, and finally secured the victory 25-20 and won the tenth victory.

In this game, Egnu scored the highest 17 points in the game (17 of 29 deductions), Antropova, who came on the bench, also contributed 9 points (11 deductions of 8 blocks), Danesi 5 points (2 of 2 blocks of 4 blocks of 2 blocks of 1 stop), Nelvini 5 points (5 of 12 deductions), Farr 4 points (4 of 7 deductions), DeGrady 3 points (10 deductions of 1 set), setter Oro 2 points (2 of 3 deductions of 2), and Serra 2 points (1 of 6 deductions of 1 stop).

As the world champion, Serbian women's volleyball team, the number one star Tiana Boskovic scored 14 points (37 deductions 14), and Ivanovic also scored 11 points (22 deductions 9 out of 2), but the overall lineup was obviously unable to withstand Italy's multi-point bloom. After the game, Italian team assistant coach Massimo Babolini was interviewed and highly praised the team's ability to cope with difficulties: "Many times, it is not difficult to win when everything goes well, but we always hold on to the game even when there is a brief power cut in the second game and the strong firepower of Serbia in the third game."

"The next game against Turkey and the Netherlands will be a good opportunity to test our condition. More importantly, this team has shown a continuous growth momentum. We started to build this system last year. Now each of these 14 players knows that they can contribute key strength to any opponent or any occasion, which will be the foundation for our future success."
