Italian spiker for Kemas Lamipel S. Croce. And what a hitter. Simone Parodi is one of the best known profiles of the current A2 Credem Banca, both for the services offered in recent seasons and for a Superlega and National curriculum that places him among the “big names” of national volleyball. On the showcase, a bronze medal at the London 2012 Olympics, a silver at the 2013 European Championship, all of this with the blue shirt, and then the Scudetto, CEV and Italian Super Cup in 2010, the Italian Cup in 2011, with Bre Banca Lannutti Cuneo; again, Scudetto and Super cup in 2012 and 2014, in Macerata. In 2021 he obtained promotion to the Superlega with Prisma Taranto. For him, also two experiences in Poland. A player of class, with great experience: 13 seasons in the top flight, 4 in A2. To make the idea even better: 247 wins out of 366 matches played in the Superlega, 56 wins out of 95 matches in A2. Born in Imperia in 1986, 195 cm, last season he ran into a tournament that at team level (Cuneo) turned out to be below expectations, while in terms of personal scores he had a good performance, always on the pitch and among the most positive and proactive. In S. Croce he will pair up with the confirmed Leonardo Colli.
Coach Bulleri’s “6+1″, at the time of writing, would present itself with an opposing setter axis formed by Coscione and Lawrence, with Cargioli and Mati in the center, Colli and Parodi in place four, Loreti free. An intriguing team, a nice mix between expert athletes and others on the launch pad. It will be the task of the technical staff to design a game suitable for this almost completely new sextet, and to favor their amalgamation. More additions will be announced in the coming days.
“From a personal and physical point of view, I evaluate the last season positively. I’ve played all the games, I’ve never had to sit out due to physical problems, so I consider it a good season. In my opinion, I kept an average level of performance, with a couple of peaks in form. The only regret is not having held a high level for longer, but net of this I judge it to be a positive year, I’m satisfied”.
