“We’re playing in a World Championships, we’re extremely excited for this huge event, we’ll try to go all the way – said Parodi as he’s flying to Poland – At the end of it, we’ll join the other lads to start our pre-season on August 18. The team has not changed much, we’ve built on the winning group there was last season. We have brought in Giulio Sabbi, who I know very well and with whom I’ll play in the World Championships, and ‘Fox’ Fei, a great player who can easily cover two positions. We have a strong team, I really like it”. Meanwhile, young middle blocker Marco Vitelli will take part in the European Championships with the Italian national team Under 20 in Slovakia and the Czech Republic.
