Coach Guillermo Falasca will also be able to count on the quality and power of Aleksandar Nedeljkovic, middle bolcker of the Serbian national team currently involved in the men’s European Championship. The center, which they call the Colossus at home, is 205 centimeters high, with walls at three meters and thirty-five centimeters and crushes at three meters and fifty centimeters. Along with Pavle Peric, protagonist in Serbia’s three-set victory against Switzerland (top scorer with 68% in attack), Nedeljkovic is another regular in the Serbian team. With Colossus and Peric, the number of Cisterna Volley players involved in the European championships in progress thus rises to four: Efe Bayram with Turkey and Jordi Ramon Ferragut with Spain.
“Right now I’m involved in the national team with the European championship and I’m very focused on this goal because I want to give my maximum contribution to Serbia – explains the new Cisterna player originally from Vranje, a town of 90,000 inhabitants in southern Serbia at border with Kosovo famous in the last century for having been an important customs and strategic center on the Belgrade – Thessaloniki railway line – Regarding the Superleague, clearly, I can say that I am very curious to play it since it is the most popular championship in the world and also very well known by all those who follow volleyball. I think there are two reasons to sum up this adventure that is about to begin: the Italian Super League is the strongest championship in the world and Italy is also a fantastic country to live in and I think no one can boast these two things together, that is to live a perfect life and play in the strongest tournament of all».
The Serbian centre-back of Cisterna Volley is dividing himself between commitments with the national team at the European championships and the planning of the season, now upon us, with the club. «I must admit that I have been a great volleyball fan since I was a child because I followed the national team of my country and also the Italian championship because I have always admired the best players in the world who have played in this championship – says Aleksandar – As a child I dreamed so much of being able to become like them and now I am about to fulfill this dream: I am very enthusiastic and I know that the city where I’m about to go knows the high level of Italian volleyball very well, I also know there have been many changes but I believe with confidence that we can build the same spirit and put the energy together to win many matches.
