The anticipation grows, the adrenaline rises: Belluno Volley dives into the week leading up to their debut in the Serie A3 Credem Banca championship. But first there is one last test, a sort of dress rehearsal to be faced on Wednesday 11th (4pm), in Motta di Livenza, against the home team. Then it will be time to think about Cus Cagliari. And the points to be won at the debut on Sunday 15th (3pm), at the Spes Arena.
NO PRESSURE – There is healthy electricity in the environment. And a deep trust, reflected in the words of Andrea De Col: «We work very well in the gym, our physical form is slowly returning to normal. I think it’s close, but I don’t want to put any particular pressure on myself. And society doesn’t even give them to me: or rather, it gives them in a constructive way so that each of us arrives prepared at the right time.”
STAGE – After his career in the youth sector of Volley Treviso and his experience in Macerata, the twenty-year-old from Alpago is preparing to defend the colors he has always dreamed of wearing: «It’s a strong emotion, as well as a great commitment. Being at home, I want to prove that I deserve this place and this stage, which for me is the most prestigious. In any case, I am very calm. I am lucky enough to have the right people at my side: the same ones who, in difficult moments, manage to give me strength.” The central team’s battery is of quality: «How do you experience the competition? Pushing… Without forcing excessively, so as not to run the risk of taking steps backwards, but I am convinced that it will be fun.”
BALANCE – The balance of the pre-season is positive, even if the injury to Reyes was a hard blow: «Yes, he left his mark. I still think about it: we miss the fourteenth athlete during training. In any case, these friendlies were useful for us, to understand how far to push ourselves, how in tune we are and how able we are to listen to our teammates. As for the season in general, I am convinced that we will find our balance. At the beginning there will be some adjustments to adjust, but I remain confident.” The championship is upon us: «And we arrive very excited».
