Elisa Penna, the situation between Reyer Venezia and the Italian national team – OA Sport
The question linked to Elisa Penna is gradually made up of all the elements necessary to understand the story, protagonist last week, despite himself, of a couple of press releases first from Reyer Venezia and then from FIP, in which the need for a rest period was essentially summarized.
First came the communication of the company, then the federal one with which it was communicated the fact that the player, precisely because of the period granted by Reyer, would not have gone to play the double engagement with the national team in Slovenia and at PalaCattani in Faenza. .
A few hours ago came the note from the agency that follows Penna, the LBM, via the branch page in Italy. In it it is reported how the assisted is good, and that the reason for the waiver of the call lies in the request for that rest period and in the fact that, to date, there are players in better shape than her who can give more at this moment. .
This situation, however, has been postponed over time: for this reason the player took the field yesterday in the match in Faenza, won with great ease by Reyer on the evening in which she made her debut (very loudly: 27 points and 16 rebounds) Astou Ndour, one of the certain stars of the Italian championship, among the last to finish the WNBA season. Penna will return to full capacity immediately after the break for the national teams, given that next weekend they will be the ones to occupy the space normally granted to championships and continental cups.
