Italy will head to the Women's World Cup with a point to prove after a hugely disappointing campaign at last year's European Championship but repeating their remarkable run to the 2019 quarter-finals appears to be a tall order.
With Bertolini remaining in charge and some of the core players still in tow, Italy will travel to their second successive World Cup for the first time with the need to bounce back and with the target of another deep run. "We wanted to show what had taken us this far in the first place, what had taken us to the World Cup in 2019 and to all the tournaments we've played in with such great results. We wanted to show what this team could really do."
Veteran striker Cristiana Girelli looks set to lead the line again and is versatile enough to be the focal point of Bertolini's preferred 4-3-3 or to tee up with fellow Juventus forward Barbara Bonansea.
