THE WORDS OF THE BLUE

—

“I am very happy to have reached the finish line of the sixth cup final, even if it was not my goal of the season – explains Mauro Nespoli -. It is the right reward for what I did during a season that I would define in passing, because it came later. the Tokyo Games played a year late and because the qualifying matches for the Paris Olympics will be in 2023. I was more focused on physical and technical work, so I didn’t expect to achieve great results. And instead we did well, earning the qualification for the European Games that next year will be giving away passes for Paris and, on the long wave of international performances, I also managed to earn this welcome qualification for the World Cup final. The best result I have achieved so far is the second place in Moscow in 2017, so I hope to be able to improve myself. In Mexico I have always had good feelings, perhaps because I won the Mondia here the teams in 2017 with Galiazzo and Pasqualucci. It is useless to make too many predictions for the final: I will be surrounded by other great champions and both I and they can aspire to the maximum result. Will I face Gazoz again? He has an advantage in the head-to-head matches, so I will work hard to change this statistic. ”
