A move to the city for Perugia middle blocker Roberto Russo, fresh from second place in the European Championships and recovering from the ankle injury suffered in the quarter-finals: “In sport you can’t always win and credit must be given to the opponents who were very strong, especially in the final. What effect did playing in Perugia with the national team have on me? It was something unique”
“How am I? I’m fine, I’m recovering from the injury. I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for the many messages received.”
Words and music by Roberto Russo. The Palermo central defender of Sir Susa Vim Perugia and fresh from the silver medal won with the Italian national team at the European Championships, has moved to Perugia to continue his recovery work from the ankle injury suffered in the quarter-finals of the continental review against the Netherlands .
What better opportunity to do a quick recap of the last few weeks.
“It’s clear that we’re sorry not to have won the gold, but in sport you can’t always win and credit must be given to the opponents who were very strong, especially in the final. Let’s take this silver medal not as a defeat, but as a starting point, to get to it we have made a beautiful journey. As a team we are very united, we must continue to work for the future and I am sure that we will be able to achieve further satisfaction. What effect did playing in Perugia with the national team have on me? It was something unique, the audience was truly as I knew it and as I hoped it would be, there were so many of them and they pushed us from start to finish. This in Perugia as well as in all the other cities where we played and I take this opportunity to thank all the fans who supported us. Our hope is to continue to make Italy dream in the future.”
