Male Host: Here it is, “team of the year” the most choral, the category of sharing Female Host: The one of being a team Male Host: of group strengh that is also the main category in sport, the group. Female Host: it’s right Francesco, so to give the prize for Team of the Year here’s Daniel Frigo delegated administrator of Walt Disney Company Italy, with a special guest Valentina Diouf. Male Host: Let’s make them come in, thank you!

Male and Female Host: Welcome! Male Host: I understand you’re the delegated administrator, but have you come with bodyguards? *pointing at stormtrooper* Daniel: Always Male Host: But they are cool! Which agency did you call? Daniel: Secret Male Host: Can you let me know? Daniel: Later Male Host: So I can let them go around with my father, that in my opinion he needs guards like that so he doesn’t many any more troubles. Anyway you have in your hand the sceptre of power Daniel: Ladies and gentlemen... Male Host: Yeah! Daniel: The winner is... Male Host: Whoa! Daniel: Male Volleyball Team

In 2016 Italy got the silver [medal in the] Olympics of Rio de Janiero, with sacrifice and tenacity, with a thrilling ride stopped only by Brazil, hosting country, in the final.

Female Host: We give the prize Male Host: Please Female Host: Valentina Diouf Male host: An applause, an applause

Someone??: Raise it like Coppa Campioni! Female Host: I would like to start from Mister Blengini that by the way was also in the finals for Coach of the Year but he won another prize and with his team. At Rio, we can say it, you have made us go crazy we slept not so much just to see you, just to dream with you the gold medal. What was missing to go up on the last step? Blengini: Win the last match, it’s that without a doubt [Blengini that’s savage] But first of all, I’m pleased to greet and thank everyone, who voted, the quality jury, for us this is a prize of great importance and great pride. And being there and be presented as team of the Year I think is way more gratifying that an individual prize. Thank you.

Male host: I would like to speak with the captain - an appaluse, an applause. Oh Captain, my Captain, I have quick questions for you. So, in the team who is the most... crazy? Birarelli: Eh, the craziest Male Host: I have an idea on the craziest Birarelli: No, I’m leaving him for later, the one you’re thinking about [spoiler it’s Ivan], because he’s going to win another prize of the ones you’re giving me. No, the craziest is... well we have a guy of Cuban origins so there’s a bit of blood in... It’s Osmany Juantorena Female Host: That by the way he’s hiding Birarelli: It’s for Osmany Juantorena Male Host: Cuba, the energy, the power Blengini: That wants to make you talk Male Host: please please, let’s give him a microphone Birarelli: An applause Male Host: Come, come in the front Osmany: Ciao, good evening everyone, ciao Male Host: Do you approve what you captain says? Osmany: No, I don’t agree. really, no, I don’t agree Birarelli: But right now, he’s a bit shy buuut Male Host: A bit shy now but then on the nights in Milan he goes full in Osmany: Never went, never been here Male Host: Not Milan. In the Cuban nights you go all in

Male Host: Okay, let’s go, the most, the most intellectual Osmany: i can say that too Birarelli: The most intellectual, we have here Luca Vettori Male Host: ... ????? He has the beard Birarelli: Surely the presence of a papillion Male Host: Do you approve? Luca: there’s few to say, good evening everyone, it’s an honor Male Host: But intellectuals think Luca: Yeah in fact... Birarelli: No, that... We’re often away. So there’s who doesn’t read, there’s who reads certain kind of novels, and instead Luca i can say he has always a book of a certain kind of level [like challenging stuff, not B-rated romances ahah] Male Host: Congratulations Luca: The backpack is heavy and full Male Host: Well the important is having it, reading it you can think about it another time - no keep it

Male Host: So, the most... the most social [meaning social media user] Birarelli: The most social is Ivan. Here we have Ivan Zaytsev, for sure. Now he’s really active Male Host: The most social, what do you do - Snapchat, twitter, facebook, instagram, pinterest, youtube - what’s the one you like the most Ivan: I still don’t have some of the ones you said, of the one I already do. No, well, I try to keep alive the attention on volleyball seeing that anyway we’re like all sports, hidden by football - like it’s partly legit. Logically we try to maintain the interest via social medias. I try to do it in the best way, that’s it. Male Host: And that’s good, and that’s good! An applause 

I’m stopping there, but there’s still a part with Valentina Diouf, if you’re interested let me know and I’ll translate it!

Fivb Volleyball World League: Evandro M. Guerra led Brazil to a 3-1 win in a repeat of last year's Olympic final on Sunday agaist Italy. 

The Brazilian opposite spiker scored 16 points with teammate Ricardo Lucarelli Souza not far behind at 12. Italy's top scorer, Luca Vettori, put 15 points on the board.

Brazil were almost perfect at the start of the first set and dominated with a 70% efficiency in attack. Evandro was the best scorer of the first set, while Italy seemed very tense and was not not powerful enough in both serving and defending.

In the second set Italy changed the gear and started confidently thanks to the superb form of Luca Vettori. Lanza made incredible saves in defense and Antonov scored crucial points. Italy dominated the second set and won at 25-17.

Brazil bounced back right at the very first start of the third set, thanks to Lucarelli's terrific spikes. The visitors imposed a fast pace and took a lead at the first technical time-out. But the Azzurri did not give up and with Buti’s blocks managed to reduce the margin. Matteo Piano with an atomic spike won another point for his team, but Brazil was still ahead 20-18. In the end the reigning Olympic champions were able to hold on to their fragile lead and take the set, 25-23.

The fourth set was a rollercoaster which was Brazil leading since the very start, but the Azzurri quickly reduced the margin. Lucarelli and teammates seem more powerful in serving, though, and jumped ahead, 16-14. The battle lasted till the end of the set, with Italy taking a 18-16 lead at one point. Still, Brazil regained control of the proceedings in the final part of the set. In an anticlimactic fashion, a Vettori service error handed Brazil their win, at 25-22.
