It's the wide roster, they need the fillers names, it's not like he could present just a 12/14 people roster
I think he meant the 1st week of VNL - but I agree anyone from Imoco/Scandicci/Milano shouldn't play the first week
Based on the schedule, the only game(s) Italy can't afford to lose will be Bulgaria (and maybe Germany).
They can lose to Turkey all day long without hurting their ranking much.
maybe it is not clear: Folie was not excluded by Velasco, it was she who did not declare herself available...

And there's no way she's gonna join this team again.

Chirichella?

It`s about health or personal matters?
I am happy for Degradi.I think she is underestimated...I don't trust Sylla.
And I am not happy for Ofelia's absence...Bosio and Orro better than her???C'mon people...

Degradi is a player I liked to watch but she's much error prone....she has some good games and a lot of bad too and she's capable to made 20 points with 10 errors so that's the reason she's not consistent

Lol 10 errors to 29 points are pretty reasonable specially for an OH.

Sorry I meant 20 points and in a 5 setter game with 10 errors or more
She makes a lot of mistakes in serving specially
The race for the setter position is so open: I'm not sold at all with Orro and Cambi is so underrated.
Agree with both points but also theres no way Velasco will not take Orro to Paris. Too many things on here favor not one being her skills lol.

Personal.
italy gonna have friendly matches with sweden before VNL
Personal.
I thought Mazzanti leaving would make her want to try the Olympics again. On the other hand, Italy has two pairs of middle-blocks from two leading clubs: Fahr- Lubian and Danesi- Bonifacio, who should also prove themselves in the national team. I don't think this position will be decisive for Italy at the Paris Games.

She had no problems with Mazzanti.

Folie last played for the national team in 2021. in Tokyo. Since then, many young players from a completely new generation have emerged. Folie would be the oldest player in this group alongside de Gennaro. I don't know who she had a conflict with, but such an experienced player should be able to rise above any old disputes and show full professionalism. The second thing is that if you have two well-coordinated blocking duos from clubs, it would be risky to call up a veteran who has not played in the national team for many years.

It will be decisive. Italy has maybe the stronger MBs in the world and if you thing the unstability of the OH and how amazing is Orro in playing the MB you will realize the attack of Italy will be supported a lot from this position.

Easy to say. I'm sure there's more to it than what you deem "like children."
besides, i think the ex is already Pietrini's fiancee.
but i was hoping for Folie to come back as well. She still got it. But anyways,
I like Velasco's take on Egonu and Antropova. Rational.
