And to versatility.
START – After his spell as a spiker in the match against the Diavoli Rosa Brugherio (in which he also scored the point of the bracket), “Gonzo” returned to wearing the role of libero, on the occasion of the unfortunate trip to Piedmont, where the rhinos were were defeated 3-0 by Negrini CTE Acqui Terme: «Everyone expected a different start to the season – states Martinez -.
