Lucchi decided to summon Valentina Diouf despite the fact that she indirectly said she will no longer play for the national team as long as Bonitta is at the helm.

“I had a long talk with Valentina after what happened before Rio (Olympics). She told me that, at this time, she preferred to have a break away from the national team. She did not want to come back for a third time after the cross out of Tokyo and Rio. She also apologized to me after I had given her time to think. Now she has to go back to work and start to play. It’s not on me to evaluate this situation,” Italy NT acting coach said.
