The inspiration and genius of Fernando Kreling, known as “Cachopa”, can also be admired next season by the Vero Volley Monza fans. The Brazilian setter, currently engaged with his national team at VNL 2023, will live another adventure in the SuperLega with the Brianza jersey, the first for him in a European cup: the CEV Challenge Cup 2024.
After an unlucky first year, conditioned by an injury sustained a week before the start of the regular season (in the Quadrangular di Biella, in the match against Modena), Fernando Kreling will try to assert with greater continuity all the qualities that distinguish him, which emerged in clearly from his return to the field in Monza-Verona (7th day of return of the regular season) up to the Final of the Play Offs for 5th place won against Perugia.
The playmaker from Brianza, who will wear the number 14 shirt next season, boasts many triumphs in his career at club level (23 titles with Sada Cruzeiro, including 3 club world championships), national team (Gold with Brazil at the VNL of Rimini 2021, at the Japan World Cup 2019, at the South American Championship of Brazil 2021 and Chile 2019, MVP of the South American Club Championship in 2020 and winner of 3 Brazilian titles, 5 Brazilian Cups, 3 Brazilian Super Cups, 6 South American Club Championships ) and individual (best setter of the 2021 Club World Cup and of the Under 17, 19, 21, 23 South American Championship, as well as MVP of the 2021 and 2022 South American Club Championship), which make him one of the most complete and strongest setters in the world. Great game vision and golden hands are the main qualities of “Cachopa”, MVP on two occasions out of 14 appearances (8 points, 3 aces and 2 blocks), developed in his growth path first in Caxias do Sul, when he started playing at the age of 12, and later at Sada Cruzeiro, where he moved in 2014, at the age of 18, first in the youth team and then in the first team from 2016.
