Volleyball: Herbots bomber, loaded from the World Cup, wants Florence
She was the fourth scorer in the Dutch review. The derby of love with Scandicci. The words of comfort for Egonu
The last World Cup gave us a Britt Herbots, as we had never seen her in Italy before. They made us review what this 23-year-old Belgian girl is capable of when she finds confidence and space. Fourth in the ranking in the ranking of the best scorers: with 222 points collected, behind sacred monsters such as Egonu, Stysiak and Boskovic, world champion. She will be the driver of the Bisonte Firenze, her new team.
What do you bring with you after being one of the best scorers of the last World Cup (she was also the second best striker)?
“It was a great experience, lived within a young team like Belgium, which immediately makes me think of Bisonte himself. The 41 points scored against the Netherlands? It’s just a game, now a new one is starting for me. After having wanted so much for the year, I wanted to play an important role within a group, which is why I chose Florence. It may be in the championship that was Belgium at the World Cup. “
Meanwhile, on the first day there is immediately a very special match for her, given that Florence will play against Busto Arsizio.
“I will certainly experience many emotions, because Busto is a team that I still carry in and it was the first with whom I played in Italy. There will be many things to think about and do on the pitch, but I hope we can take the first steps in the right direction. It is clear that we are not at 100% yet, the important thing is to do a little something extra in each race. ”
And what happened in Novara? What was the extent of the problems that have you relegated very often to the bench?
“It was a very difficult season last season. First of all I came back from the European Championship with a torn abdomen, I hadn’t had any major injury until then. With all the energy I always have on me, I owed a lot to stay still on the bench. It was not easy at all, because I was pushing in training and I had very few opportunities and I can’t explain why. With Lavarini I don’t know what has changed, it’s true, but I didn’t have the chance to dare that that I wanted and that I had in mind “.
What do you think about the outburst of Paola Egonu, who arrived at the end of the World Cup, with the will to leave the national team? What responses does it provoke?
“I am very sorry for her, as a sportswoman I understand her, because sometimes it is really bad to read or hear the comments they say or write about us. We do not deserve such treatment. But on the other hand I tell her: ‘don’t read them “. It might not even have been the time to give a vent like this, as soon as the game is over, but I understand the reasons behind it and I hope that, after a year at Vakifbank in Turkey, he can bring great feelings with him and he will understand that still dare so much in Italy “.
She is with Andrea Panzeri, who has recently become Barbolini’s assistant coach at Savino Del Bene Scandicci. Already in itself the meeting between Florence and Scandicci is very heartfelt, given the amorous crossing, for her it will have double value …
“I have already noticed that the derby here is lived in a very strong way. But he who does well too, the fairly quiet life at home this” rivalry wants “. More than teasing, we charge each other. I hope they have to do training the next day, while we will be enjoying our rest (laughs ed) “.
Do you have a dream?
“My dream is to be able to do many beautiful things together with this group and to be content with what we have managed to do”.
