Francesca Piccinini sides with Paola Egonu

The words of Francesca Piccinini

Francesca Piccinini in an interview with Fanpage spoke about Italvolley, among the favorites for the gold in Paris 2024: “Over the years we have built the national team, since 2000 we have gained more awareness. Winning European Championships, World Championships… è it was a period that opened the door to what happens today”.

On the bench, Julio Velasco took Mazzanti’s place after the Egonu case: “There è been a lot of talk about that story, but today it must be put aside. Paola è one of the strongest players, but there’s a need for everyone in a team sport. Today I see a serene Paola, at the disposal of the team".

"È a very strong and complete team, grown from the Tokyo Olympics. The Olympics are a story apart, but we have a beautiful team", concluded Piccinini.
