Da Rold Logistics Belluno drops the trio on the confirmation table: after captain Alex Paganin and setter Filippo Maccabruni, the go-ahead from Alessandro Graziani also arrives. The thirty-year-old spiker, originally from Genoa, has chosen to extend his adventure in the Dolomites: «It’s a decision I made with my eyes closed – he says -. I was already convinced even before seeing the market movements. Because I trust the president Sandro Da Rold, the general manager Franco Da Re and a sportsman like Renzo Savasta. Experienced people motivated by the desire to do well ».
APPROACH – Graziani has been appreciated on and off the pitch. Inside, thanks to his charisma, continuity in attack, solidity in reception and a service of rare effectiveness. Outside, for his availability and an approach that immediately won over the public and insiders: «I toured several companies, so much so that I have never stayed in the same place for two years in a row. But Belluno is different. Here I touched the sides of volleyball that I missed a little: the seriousness, the pleasure of being together and working in a group that, despite the difficulties, has always tried to give their best. ”
TEAMMATES – The hitter, like the club, raises the bar of ambitions: “We have to be a team that knows what it wants. Our place is much higher than last year. Also in light of the new additions: Novello won the A3 almost as a protagonist, while the “puma” Saibene is an athlete I have often played against and have always liked. In addition, the confirmation of the setter is important: the work set up with Maccabruni was long and tiring, but we have reaped fruits and satisfactions. Without considering the environment, serene and friendly, enriched by managers who are as if they were teammates. And they always manage to get a smile from you, even after a defeat. ”
ADDITIONAL ROLE – Graziani has already discussed with coach Gian Luca Colussi: “We immediately agreed on various points. Now, however, I want to give myself an additional role: to be more leaders on the pitch, to bring my experience to younger kids. And drag the collective into moments of difficulty ».
