Italy coach Milena Bertolini said her decision to leave captain Sara Gama out of her Women's World Cup squad was not taken lightly and that the 34-year-old centre back had been omitted for"technical-tactical and physical" reasons.
"Do not think that I made this choice lightheartedly," Bertolini told reporters at Italy's training camp on Monday."The reason is exclusively technical-tactical and physical.Italy, who were winless at last year's European Championship, qualified for the World Cup in September by topping their group. "We do not want to be bound to a single game plan. I prefer to talk about tactical dynamism because the team, depending on the opponent we will face, will have to know how to adapt, even during the course of a match."
"I accept the choice, despite the bitterness of these difficult hours due to the methods and times with which this decision was communicated to me," the Juventus defender wrote on Instagram.
