Double swoop for Ravenna: the club signed Brazilian setter Ricardo Perini and Dutch spiker Maarten Van Garderen. “The first one really impressed us in the Challenge Cup semi-final when we played Benfica – said the GM Beppe Cormio – The second is one of the best prospects of Dutch volleyball. I have personally seen him in Friedrichschafen in the German league final. To be honest he played poorly in that game but then was named MVP three times in the final series against Berlin. He is an all-around player, he has one main strength but no weaknesses”.
