Milan lands a new Puerto Rican opposite, who will wear the number 3 shirt, enriches the battery of forwards in the range of possibilities of the coach Piazza with an important pawn. Klistan Lawrence, born in Cuba on 07/01/2003, arrives in the shadow of the Madonna after being the first choice in the High School for American colleges last spring. The summer just passed, with the Puerto Rico shirt, he played in the Pan American Games, the Pan American Cup and finally in the World Cup, carving out a dignified position within the volleyball scene, protagonist of an exponential growth that he did not let slip the company of the president Lucio Fusaro. Player with important physical qualities, his arrival in Milan will allow him to have a great interpreter of the role as deputy Patry. Muscles, technique and youth for Klistan who, after having been viewed by the Milanese technical staff since his participation in the World Cup, is now ready for his first adventure in the old continent with the Allianz Powervolley jersey.
“We are talking about the formalization of the membership of Klistan Lawrence, an athlete we have been following for months. – comments sports director Fabio Lini – It was one of the potential first choices coming out of High Schools for American Colleges. Klistan was already potentially a prospective athlete, then, during the summer, he participated with the Puerto Rican national team in the Pan American Games where he carved out a space as a completely unexpected protagonist, showed exponential growth at the Pan-American Cup in Canada and was then called up for the World Cup in Poland, where he has carved out very important playing spaces there, in the end he was the opposite owner with a decent performance, clearly considering the level and considering that this boy has been focused on his volleyball career for a very short time because in high school the athlete emerged in all sports, from football to basketball. We have thought about it a lot, we have seen him throughout the preparation period because with him we close the last slot of the non-EU spaces for which the company has made an important reflection: the boy has first-rate athletic qualities, we will work to create a baggage for him technical as broad and complete as possible; clearly the boy has entered into a three-year agreement so this demonstrates the fact that we believe in it in the wake of young people, Italians and non-Italians.
