In recent days, millions of Italians have been following the Women’s Volleyball World Cup, in which Italy finished third, beating the United States in the final. At the end of the match, however, a fan with his smartphone managed to intercept the absolute star of the blue team, Paola Egonu. The Italian reverse fanned himself with his agent on the sidelines of the celebrations for the conquest of the bronze medal and was taken back. Obviously, the video immediately went viral and the words of the Italian volleyball star caused a lot of noise.
Indeed, a tearful Egonu exclaimed: “You can’t understand, it has become tiring. They asked me if I was Italian. This is my last match (in the national team, editor’s note). I’m tired.” The reverse in recent games has drawn a lot of criticism as his competitive performances haven’t matched his crystalline talent. Too many mistakes marred the 23-year-old’s tests, who even today was dictating the law against the Olympic champions.But something, however, would have triggered the champion’s nerves, let’s find out what happened.

A few questions about his nationality would have been thought to unleash Paola Egonu’s anger. As we all know by now, the volleyball champion was born in Italy to parents of Nigerian descent. However, it is unclear who fired certain shameful arrows. On social networks, the lions of keyboards are legion and athletes suffer a lot from these gratuitous malevolence. What is certain is that the VakifBank Istanbul striker had a huge rant, tired of always receiving the same questions.
There are several factors that could have influenced him, in particular the anger of the moment or the tension accumulated during the match. The hope is that a champion of Egonu’s caliber can think again when the bowls stand still. Paola Egonu, who will begin her new adventure in Turkey in a few weeks with the VakifBank Istanbul jersey at the Rai microphones, then tried to put a piece to it by declaring: I am very tired now, I could take a break from the national team, but I am not saying to leave it”.
