“Simon – underlines Elisabetta Curti – was our first purchase, he is the emblem of volleyball in Piacenza, we know how much he is loved and how much he loves Piacenza. My family and the Cerciello family have made important efforts, now it’s up to the Piacentines to give their contribution, get closer to the team and make PalabancaSport hot at every match ”.
Smiles Antonio Cerciello, President of Nordmeccanica S.p.A.
“Our goal is to win the Scudetto – he underlines in no uncertain terms – given the considerable efforts made by the Curti family and by us. I remember Simon in Piacenza years ago, he is strong and will give us great emotions ”.
“Certainly we have many top players in the team – he says – but now we have to become a group, a team. There will be little time to work together and also at the start we will have to deal with the injuries of Lucarelli and Alonso, Brizard will soon have to find the feeling with his new teammates, we will not be at our best at the start but certainly self-denial, desire to bring out the maximum in each of us will certainly not fail ”.
Robertlandy Simon is on his second experience in Piacenza where he returns after eight years. And with the last three championships awarded, they won in the Marche region.
“I returned to Piacenza – underlines Simon – as a player after eight years, I found a changed city but I also found my friends who often came to visit me around Italy and a couple of times they even made me cry with emotion. I came back to win, there will be a lot of work to do, at the beginning we won’t be able to be at the top, but the season is long and the work always pays off. Yes, I chose to return to Piacenza because I feel good here, I could stay where I was but I have always liked challenges and I wanted to return to Piacenza. Working well I am sure that we will have great satisfaction. The important thing is to arrive at your best in the final phase of the season “.
