“Incredible emotions at the culmination of a memorable feat!”. An explosion of joy for Luciano De Cecco, captain of Argentina and of Cucine Lube Civitanova. On Wednesday, the Albiceleste playmaker led his national team to conquer the South American Championship with a victory in three sets (25-19, 29-27, 25-22) over Brazil, who abdicated after a very long streak of consecutive victories.

Argentina has risen to the roof of South America after 59 years thanks to a collective that gave everything on the pitch and to the prowess of De Cecco, lucid and decisive also in the last match staged in Recife. Lucio will also participate in the Pre-Olympic Tournament.

Luciano De Cecco: “It is a very important milestone for our country, an indelible result. On a personal level, this success materializes a goal that I particularly cared about. For me this was the last South American since next year it will not be played. The team gave great joy to the whole movement and to Argentina. On the pitch we always try to confirm that results don’t come by chance. At the basis of such enterprises there is always a great job done and the impact of a good team!”.
