Anyway, Kate Bosetti was right...
Italian Women's NT 2023

This has nothing to do with the men's team. They are world champions and have nothing to fear about the women's team.

List is out (and so is Egonu):
S: Orro, Bosio
OH: Sylla (C), Pietrini, Omoruyi, Degradi, Villani
MB: Danesi, Lubian, Squarcini, Nwakalor L.
O: Nwakalor S., Antropova
L: Fersino, Parrocchiale
Edit: one more will be cut

The point 7UP was trying to make is that in Poland once male team has started to overshadow women's team - PZPS basically started to ignore female volleyball for years. ,,We are world champions in men's volleyball and it's generally more popular, so we can give the worst coach possible to the women's team, no one cares".
I don't think that's the case with Italy, but just to make the above point clear.

Pasini's altitude in two of his recent posts are really disappointing.
The analysis on Italy: between present and future
"Paola has stopped growing, while the competition (and the opposing walls/defenses) have grown. Today's Paola doesn't hit with the same incisiveness of 3 years, and the same could be said about her for defense. It is clear that most of the fans do not understand this."
The defeat of a relationship gone bad
"As dozens of people have said, while admitting the "faults of Paola" never publicly explained, this exit from the scene in this way is a defeat for all of volleyball. However, the fact that she has taken a step back is also a defeat for Paola, even though her starting point is clear."
Why do you still blame her? Mazzanti and FIPAV have no faults?

I don't understand Italian. So I rely on the integrated translation function in Chrome.
If you could provide better translation, it would be great. Thank you!

The correct translation is this:
A ridiculous comment debunked by history
you wrote to me like this last year too and you were proven wrong (here he refers to the blog users)
From a year ago to now, I have always called the federation into question, never the athlete (referring to Egonu)
Indeed, if you really want to know, yesterday evening I told Manfredi that if they had to treat her like this, it was better they left her at home
You don't know it but she offends with a disarming gratuitousness
I forgive her even if she doesn't deserve it
She should have more respect
(the last three lines are the answer that Pasini received from Manfredi and the "she" he is talking about is Egonu)
If the conversation that Pasini reports between him and Manfredi (FIPAV president) is true, the words used on Egonu are really heavy...
I think it is true because a journalist of the major Italian sports newspaper cannot write such a thing involving a federal president, without having the certainty that he cannot be denied...
I truly foresee that the situation could degenerate in unexpected and very bloody ways...

I dont it would be a problem as long the team will rotate well by giving each player 2 weeks of holidays like turkey did, it can turn out just fine!
But you didn't do that in an Olympic year. That's a big difference. By the way, considering what's going on and what's more is going to break out, Olympics might be our last concern.

Difficult to understand if this has something to do about this: https://dal15al25.gazzetta.it/…ia-via-mazzanti-ed-egonu/.

so it seems that Paola has an attitude.
-
I thought that this is just another break from Paola. But with all these nasty things being thrown around in the media, she may never return after all. I feel bad for Italy.
they have so much potential. While they can still be a formidable team, Italy without Egonu is like Turkiye without Vargas.
-
For all of our sakes, don’t be harsh on Egonu, or she might catch last flight of fivb naturalization law and get Brazilian/US citizenship so no one else would win anything in next 10 years

Display MoreI know, I was more answering to the proposed names rather than effectively wanting them.
Partial exception is Bregoli, precisely because he stepped away as soon as he realized we were in a slippery slope and did manage that absurdity of 2021 VNL trying to get the best from a team without rhyme or reason, destined to be trashed most of the time.
I want to spend a couple of words about Manfredi too: what he said after the match was even worse that the already delusional statement from Mazzanti, because he basically refused to take any blame or responsibility for what's going on and basically said that the players aren't good enough for higher achievements. Considering we're talking about wanting some radical changes, you look at the issue of these kind of guys, only interested in keeping their positions and the power that comes from these, in the place of competent people, who might care about the state of volleyball. So, I do wonder if appointing a woman as the head of federation might turn a few heads. Just to name one, I don't believe Francesca Piccinini would have said these kind of things or, even better, would have let the problems we're experiencing rot until the point of no return. Not only she was a player (and what a player), but she's a woman and she can relate more easily to the girls. That's probably one of the reasons of Mangifesta's sharpness in the interviews with Mazzanti and Pisani's reluctance to handle the topic.
Last, but not least, a gem I forgot to post yesterday:
.That sums it up just fine of the mockery we're witnessing.
Is this Lubian talking with Mangifesta?

Yes, she is.

I saw it live but I couldn't get who was talking and what she was saying. So I guess we can soon see her exclusion too

Same thing for me, I had to re-watch it before understanding who was talking to who.
-
Wish Paola and her friends create a second team and play Mazzanti's italy
Egonu - Malinov
Bosetti - Gennari
Bonifaccio - Chricihella
De Gennaro
I am sure this team will go at least 5 set with Mazzanti's italy.

wtf, are they doing?? no egonu anymore??? who will save mazzantis hairy ass at crucial moments🤦🤦 i use a dislike button for that idiot👎👎
