At just 22-years-old, Pastore is rapidly developing into a player who could have a big career at club and International level. Her departure from Livorno to Schio left a big hole at her former club and her value was highlighted by the eagerness of the ambitious Schio to have her on their roster. She was a key member of the Italy U20 side and has made a pretty seamless transition to the senior team in the last couple of years. Played a significant part in qualifying and will be pushing for a starting place. Needs to get more assists and maintain consistency but with Sottana sidelined, this is a great opportunity for her to enhance her rapidly growing reputation.
