Calling Battistoni is a weird decision, because she wasn't a starter and wasn't convincing during her time on court either... Calling a setter with more experience like Signoreli or a young talented setter like Guiducci would have made more sence! I really hope Bosio will get the chance to prove herself during VNL, because Orro and Malinov are so unstable. Bosio is a solid player and would be a good substitution for one of Malinov or Orro.
On the middle blocker position Mazzanti made the expected decisions. I noticed they lack a good slide attacker... Chirichella can play a decent slide attack, but I think she is more comfortable hitting in front of the setter. Lubian used to be a slide attacker, but she mostly played in front of the setter at Scandicci. Leaving Folie out of the squad is a wise decision IMO. For her health it's better to focus just on club volleyball! She may be used for WCH if the middle blocker position proves to be a problem during VNL? in the end she belongs to the best 4 middle blockers of Italy ATM.
De Bortoli should have been called! IMO she is a better libero than Fersino... On the other hand I'm happy Panetoni has been called! She is a sollid libero, especially her reception is good!
Outside hitter position has all expected names. Only I would have left out D'Odorico, because she simply isn't good enough on international level in any department...
Mingardi at least deserved a call, since she has shown at club level she is more reliable than Nwakalor!
