The tournament played in Vasto sealed 2013. Even if the team did not win any game, these encounters were valuable to coach Radici and his staff. “it would have been difficult to find the same quality of work at home with the players we were missing” confirmed coach Radici. But 2013 has been the year of Matteo Piano above all others: in the last twelve months, he won the Serie A2 title, made his debut with the national team, won two bronze and one silver medal with Italy, and was elected best Under 23 of the Serie A2.
