After the debut of the Italian champions against Grottazzolina in the preseason in a largely reworked formation and with the after-effects of three weeks of loads in the weight room, the dg Beppe Cormio photographs the situation of the Cucine Lube Civitanova and speaks openly for the first time about the protocol in agreement with the Bulgarian club of Levski Sofia, which boasts 18 Scudetti in its long history. An idea developed with Vladimir Nikolov and David Davidov, presidents of the Balkan Club, and with their main partner Atanas Garov, during a visit to Sofia by the red and white manager. In addition to the mutual enhancement of the youth sectors, both protagonists with medals over the years, the agreement is based on the sharing of working methods for an exchange of experiences also between the members of their respective staff.
Beppe Cormio: “With Videx it was a pleasant training. We are at the beginning and absences do not allow us to cover every role. On Thursday Yant could not jump, Garcia played receiver alternating with Zaytsev in reception. Diamantini was not at the top and was on the ward with the Academy’s youth. The spirit with a great desire to progress has been seen to be good. In the next tests we will go better. As the spectators noted, there were two Bulgarian promises on the bench, namely Alex Kandev, born in 2005, and Simeon Nikolov, born in 2006, younger brother of our hitter Alex. Their internship in Civitanova is a sort of prize trip wanted by Levski Sofia and is the result of an agreement that we are about to formalize with the Bulgarian Club. Days ago I was in Sofia and with the top management of the home company we drew up a protocol to grow together. Usually in Italy we think we have exclusive rights to the aesthetics of volleyball and that we are the best in the organization, but I have seen a partnership like Levski who built a very modern sports palace. A reality that can count on shifts from noon to late evening, with hundreds of boys and girls taking turns. A stimulating experience. More than making arrangements, I went to learn. Among other things, they boast our compatriot, Andrea Burattini, as their coach, who has given quality. At the level of technicians and scoutmen, Italy is the one that represents excellence. Bulgarian entrepreneurship applied to volleyball, on the other hand, is a stunning aspect that must inspire us. I congratulate the Levski ”.
