    The U17 faced Brazil in 4 friendlies, all won by Italy:


    Jul 7: 3-0 (25-13,25-20,25-21)

    Jul 8: 3-2 (25-19, 20-25, 20-25, 25-16, 19-17)

    Jul 10: 3-0 (25-19,25-19,25-21)

    Jul 11: 3-2 (25-2], 21-25, 25-20, 19-25, 15-13)

    Convocation U20/21:


    OH: Caruso, Arbore, Mastrangelo, Viti, Marconato

    OPP: Baleva, Enescu, Solovei

    MB: Bovolenta, Guerra, Feriozzi, Neri, Savioli

    S: Hernandez Suarez, Monetti, Tombolato

    L: Cornelli, Giuli

    Italy so far in terms of blocks:


    9 blocks vs Iceland

    12 blocks vs Czechia

    14 blocks vs Belgium

    11 blocks vs Poland

    16 blocks vs Latvia

    16 blocks vs Spain

    22 blocks vs Turkey

    16 blocks vs France


    116 blocks total with and average of 4.2 per set. And Legrenzi has scored 40 of them with 1.5 blocks per set 🤯

    The lack of depth on OH position in Italy is crazy, you can dominate the female volleyball for years with one top class outside hitter basically. I expected much more from Nervini after her very decent league season. Can't wait for Russia to play against them.

    The 2010-11 generation will be our salvation for the OH issue.

    No reverse sweep this time thank god, Bianca Legrenzi finished the match with 9 blocks but also 7 errors on attack

    Best blocker of the tournament so far by quite a margin. Those attack errors can be corrected as she runs a good slide. With Marchesini also scoring 9 blocks agains Poland at thr U22, Italy is well served of all-rounded MB 😎

    i don't think there is a problem, it's probably just the desicion of the coaches that she will be playing U17 World Championship and Karsznia and Czerwonka won't, cause I don't think they will be joining the U17 team later.


    It would be very helpful to have her here though.

    Yeah Italy is also prioritizing the U17, that's why all players here are 2009 born.

    Any standouts from this gen?

    It has been years since Allaoui to represent the NT again:flower::flower:

    The MB department : Manfredini - Marchesini - Quero - Talarico are quite good:heart::heart:


    For me, Marchesini and Quero have higher ceiling in the senior team.

    Talarico too. Shes on the shorter side but she is an excellent blocker. Best blocker of the U19!

    Final roster for the U22 (hopefully they won't suck as much as the men's did jk)


    OPP: Adigwe

    OH: Amoruso, Bosso, Piombioni, Tosini, Peroni

    MB: Manfredini, Marchesini, Talarico, Quero

    S: Allaoui, Sassolini

    L: Gambini, Regoni


    Surprised that Tosini made it instead of Susio, especially after a dreadful season at Serie A2.


    The starters will most likely be:

    Adigwe-Sassolini

    Amoruso-Piombioni

    Manfredini-Marchesini

    Regoni


    Besides from Bardaro, almost all the U21 Champs are there.

    I'd say Monari Gamba, Legrenzi and maybe Gordon when she plays OH. She has a very hard time attacking from the right side.

    I still remember the Italian commentators repeatedly screaming "Monari Gambaaa" when the Dutch team played them at Wevza this January, so I definitely remember her as being a powerful attacker dominating that game :lol:

    Well she was quite good during the WEVZA tournament so kinda.

    Seems like Koprowska is ahead of Michelson for now. She's been the standout of Poland in the friendlies against Italy.
