The official debut in A3, the haircut, the first flight, but above all the esteem and affection of his teammates: Elia Fraccaro is in a whirlwind of emotions. And he enjoys an unforgettable moment: first of all for himself, because he has confirmed his technical, human and character qualities. Furthermore, Belluno Volley is also finding the much desired continuity, after having lined up three successes.
HEART IN A THOUSAND – «It’s all wonderful – the young libero smiles – but I continue to work hard: when you are at this level, nothing is taken for granted. And every time you have to give your best: the desire to commit and learn is certainly not lacking.” Fraccaro made his debut in the match against WiMore Salsomaggiore Terme, in which the rhinos managed to get the better of the Emilians in four sets: «When the coach looked at me and asked me to come in, my heart was pounding with joy. And also a hint of anxiety. But my teammates helped me ease my nerves. The first ball I received? A boom of sensations: I immediately heard the audience screaming, it was unique and beautiful. However, I have become further aware that I still have a lot to learn. In the meantime, I thank the coach for the opportunity: I hope to have made the most of it.”
INDELIBLE MEMORIES – The trip to Sardinia also represented an absolute novelty: «It may seem strange, but it was my first plane flight. I had always moved by ships, trains and cars. In any case, it was beautiful.” The haircut ritual is inevitable: «As per tradition for the debut – continues Fraccaro -. I always wore a hat at the airport because I was ashamed. Jokes aside, it was fun: some memories will remain indelible.”
BAGGAGE – Now, however, we need to prepare in advance for the Piedmontese match against Monge Gerbaudo Savigliano, scheduled for Saturday evening (8.30 pm): «I expect grit and determination from the team. We are pushing hard, especially in training and we can’t wait for the weekend to get on the pitch.” Fraccaro daydreams: «Playing at these levels is a unique emotion. And it is, in particular, because I can interact with extraordinary classmates: they give me advice and help me constantly. I would like to try to learn as many things as possible, in order to create a technical background. And personal too: I’m sure it will be useful to me in the future.”
