Young libero Massimo Colaci arrived in verona in October 2008. “We needed a second libero, we wanted a reliable person. We chose Giuliani. He will have to work hard to find his place in the elite but he has what it takes to make it” had said GM Cottarelli in the official presentation. Colaci’s hard work has been rewarded this season. He often came on at the beginning of the season and quickly made his debut in the starting six in December 23 in Modena. “I am happy to have reached the playoffs – Colaci said – It was my first experience and I think I had good performances. It’s been a positive season, I’ve had the chance to play as a starter, I am very happy and I want to thank coach Bagnoli for giving me this opportunity”.
