“I am thrilled to have a player of this quality in the team – said sport director Vitullo as he surprised everyone by signing Finnish spiker receiver Antti Siltala, totally unknown in Italy – This is a player I have always wanted, I have to thank Gino and Ivan Giannetti for going along with me on that one. His CV leaves absolutely no doubt, and neither do the 100 caps with his national team. Everything that Antti represents is inside his nickname: The Viking”.
