there's a rumor that Mazzanti wanted to ditch all players that are high ego (i.e. Orro and Egonu) and Sylla/Danesi talked him out of it
I'm also reading that he sees the VNL team as the team he invested in and doesn't wanna make too many changes

Then if for him the VNL team is a base for (in theory) easier matches, in my opinion that is a valid reasoning. Otherwise many people wish him to win it all; if not, he will have to update his resume.

New episode of the soap opera Mazzanti. dal15al25.gazzetta.it/2023/08/10/i-chiarimenti-del-ct/#comment-2573651Machine translation Mazzanti's clarifications By Gian Luca Pasini Apparently, before communicating the 14 players for the European Championship, coach Mazzanti spoke with the athletes communicating the choices made. So as of today, it seems that Italy's starting opposite is Sylvia Nwakalor with Paola Egonu ready to double change with Bosio, while Antropova would be the wild card Mazzanti referred to yesterday. Nothing in a sports team, by definition, is immutable, but certainly this vision changes (or would change) the cards a bit for Italy. Although the surprise in part might be minimal since it is quite logical that a player who has done the whole season so far would be more broken in than one who has not played and who in the last few weeks at most has done gym activities. It remains to evaluate the path of clarification in the relations that there has been with the group, for that, however, there is no verification, but the field will tell if the choices were right.

Lmaoooo what a joke I hope Egonu just leaves It depends on how Mazzanti plays these cards. If indeed there is some emotional fragility (not just Egonu but the team in general) starting from the bench is almost equivalent to what used to happen to Egonu in the Vakifbank, that is, they would pass the ball to her but only when Cansu had passed the ball all the others. Passing her 60+ balls per game, Conegliano style, might consciously or unconsciously increase her anxiety or pressure. If, as I believe, the racist issue is only the trigger for the outburst (and the cause was the long stressful period), Mazzanti's might be a sensible solution.
Then if he has other ideas, I don't know. Of course Mazzanti's there are many, Egonu's are not (in Italy).

I hope she plays vs turkey but not us I don't know if that is something to wish for. If she doesn't take the field it means that Nwakalor was enough.
