The best central for performance of the last regular season. Riccardo Copelli’s credentials start from the statistics. And the numbers never lie. The first purchase of the new Agnelli Tipiesse was born in Casalmaggiore, in the Cremona area, in 1996. His journey began in Monza, passed through the B in Parma and, once he “made his bones”, took off in Lagonegro before the two-year period in Piacenza. With a lot of double displeasure inflicted on Olimpia, passed in the Italian Cup and in the play-off final for the Super League in 2019. The experience in the top flight was archived, the same red and white colors in Santa Croce until the vintage with the Libertas Cantù Pool. On 8 December last, however, he was one of the protagonists in the Brianza 3-2 against the rossoblùs with 17 points, 3 blocks and 70%. Proof that numbers never lie.
THE CHOICE – “Bergamo is the company that, in recent years, has shown the best programming skills and monstrous continuity. Four trophies in three seasons are proof of this. Tradition, ambition and mentality: now it’s my turn to live up to it. I had other proposals, then the one from Agnelli Tipiesse arrived and we concluded the deal in five days “.
THE RIGHT MOMENT – “My idea, regardless of the range of possibilities, was to play with stimuli and a pressure compared to what I have always been used to. I want to fight to win and to test myself in this sense, after a few years with mid-ranking goals. I was looking for an extra step and the call from Bergamo came at the right time ”.
THE ROLE – “In a team like this, the interpretation of my role will also change. It is a huge stimulus. I’ve been used to attacking a lot lately. Now, for team needs, I could stay inside the game in a different way while remaining the protagonist with half the balls available. An additional incentive to maintain a very high concentration at all times “.
THE INCIDENCE OF GRAZIOSI – “The confirmation of the technician was decisive in my choice. I consider him the best A2 coach, a sort of Angelo Lorenzetti in the category. Few have his CV, his wealth of knowledge and his talents. I really think I needed a technician like him to continue my growth. He likes to work hard and well, that’s what I need “.
