But its understandable that Foppa choose to go that way, the girls didnt come back training yet, last season was already very demanding, and now the WCH, they cant risk also to give everything now, and the team dies in the most important moment.
they also have to play the World Clubs Championship this year, so will be very demaning year again. And since that girls like Picci, Leo are main important in the team, they need to be in good conditions. It is not like Fenerbahçe that can put a mixed team to play and still win the matches (for two reasons, for having many quality players in bench, and also cause the league is weaker over all, has more weak teams then italian league in my opinion, have probably 4 of the bests teams in the world, of course, but the rest the quality difference is really big). Foppa will have hard games in all matches of ITalian league, and still will have to play Champions League and World championship, so it is natural for them to get some vacation right now.
Of course, they will be defeated thursday, but sometimes you have to make that kind of decisions for the safe of future expectations.
I agree what you've said and I'm not on any side of decision but there is also a fact that FBA is in a very vulnerable term right now, Ze Roberto has just come yesterday, Furst never played, team never had a chance to play together, and when you look at the rosters ,FBA is the main favourite of the group, though we havent become a team yet, on the other hand Bergamo doesnt have that kind of problems, they dont need an off season to prepare the team, and most probably they are in way better position than us. Thats the chance to beat groups favourite team at the beginning, so i might have considered to give those players another week to have some rest..
