@Vatreni: Sabbi had a great season, that's true, but I agree with Daniele: Vettori seems to be more reliable at the moment. He doesn't choke when he makes a mistake and he's Always in control, a quality missing to Sabbi sometimes.
@dude: yeah, I knew about this interview; more or less, it's what I wrote in my previous post.
Anyway about the liberos: I'm extremely happy that Berruto didn't call Bari in NT. I have never got why Bari played as first libero both in the National Team and in Trento, I sadly can't see anywhere his skills. And if you asked me to point a weak spot of the NT in the last OG, I would undoubtly point all my ten fingers to Bari ?
About the starting six, I totally agree with you, Pearl: I would really like to see Vettori in the starting six. I think he can give a lot to our NT. : )
Vatreni I guess it would be a little bit difficult to see them together : ) But if you asked me to choose between those two, I would pick Vettori out , despire Sabbi's stunning season!
I was surprised by the absence of De Pandis though...Any ideas why he isn't in the team?
Anyway, I'm curious to see what solution Berruto will adopt: three spikers (Zizzo, Sava, Parodi/Kovar) or two wing spikers and a young opposite (Sabbi or Vettori); I personally prefer the second option and, in such case, I would really like to see Vettori in the starting 6 'cause this guy is our future.
Oh, another detail: Lasko not called after a more than decent season in JW...
