A contagious charge, an overwhelming energy, the radiance that intertwines with ambition, awareness with humility: Hector Alexey Reyes Leon has landed in Belluno. And he has already conquered everyone with his spontaneity: «I’m glad I chose the DRL Volley Team – said the spiker during the presentation -. Even from the outside, the seriousness and ambition of a company that knows what it wants is perceived. How ambitious the project is: being part of it motivates and honors me».
HEAT – Reyes is already projected towards the new adventure: «I’m a slightly exuberant player, an agonist. And I love competition: the more there is, the more it charges me. I also like working in the gym and taking care of the details together with the staff». The band born in Cuba, with a past in WiMore Parma, knows how to set fire to the stands: «The public is a fundamental component. In a sport like volleyball he is the seventh element on the court. I felt it a lot in Parma and I’m sure I will receive the same warmth at the Spes Arena. I already remember it from last season.”
RESPONSIBILITY – With Alex on the roster, the DRL raises the bar once again: «Responsibility doesn’t weigh on me, I gladly accept it. I’m not afraid, on the contrary ». In the shadow of the Dolomites he will not be alone: «My uncles live here. Confirming that in Belluno there are all the conditions for further growth: on the other hand, volleyball is my profession. And I aim to interpret it at its best. Also with the help of coach Gian Luca Colussi, with whom I have already compared: I was able to appreciate his ideas». On the parquet it is quicksilver. Out? A little less: «I like to rest – smiles Alex -. Seriously, on the outside I’m a quiet type: I have my times». Half Italian, half Cuban. But ask him which side prevails in him: «If the national team of origin had to face the Azzurri? I’m not rooting for anyone – another big smile -. Indeed, I take a nap…».
VERSATILE AND MOTIVATED – The team manager, Riccardo Zanolli, welcomes Reyes with great enthusiasm: «Since last year, Alex has given us the sensation of being a great player. And his former team, Parma, has put us in considerable difficulty. He is a versatile athlete, a motivated person. And a boy who is loved. We are happy to have him here.” On the same wavelength, the general manager, Franco Da Re: «In the last championship, Reyes hurt us a lot both in the first leg and in the second leg. And so we decided to take it off the market.
