Italian-National-Team
As one of his main attacking options Ivan Zaytsev was removed from the national team due to the controversial „footwear case“, Blengini was forced to summon a player to replace him at the preparations. Despite the fact many fans in Italy hoped he will call Osmany Juantorena, Blengini’s s choice has fallen on Giulio Sabbi, the new player of Azimut Modena.
So, the preliminary 18-man list of the Italian NT for the 2017 EuroVolley now looks like this:
Setters – Simone Giannelli (Trentino); Luca Spirito (Verona).
Opposites – Luca Vettori (Trentino); Gabriele Nelli (Padova); Giulio Sabbi (Modena).
Middle blockers – Matteo Piano (Milano); Fabio Ricci (Perugia); Simone Buti (Monza); Davide Candellaro (Lube); Daniele Mazzone (Modena).
Receivers – Iacopo Botto (Monza); Luigi Randazzo (Padova); Oleg Antonov (Vibo Valentia); Tiziano Mazzone (Ravenna); Filippo Lanza (Trentino).
Liberos: Fabio Balaso (Padova); Massimo Colaci (Perugia); Nicola Pesaresi (Verona).

and now this is a test for them without zaytsev and juantorena who italy rise up to this one for me it will be hard for them
Re: @dee jae69
Perfect excuse for Blengini
They were awful in World League without those two. I don’t see who will play beside Lanza on Osmany’s position who is one of main attacker beside being receiver. He is second scorer in Lube after Sokolov
