In the final match, which decreed Israel’s tie-break victory , Shay scored 21 points, obtaining the title of MVP of the final match.
In reference to his arrival in the city in the shadow of the Saint, Shay said: “Since I started with volleyball, playing in the Italian Super League has always been a big dream of mine, and the fact that my first season in Italy is with a team like Padova makes me even happier and gives me the motivation to work hard in the arena and improve more and more.”
“I have heard many positive comments about the city of Padua, about the people and about the team itself, so I hope that right away we will be able to create good team chemistry and together achieve the team’s sporting goals and much more,” added the Israeli spiker.
Mayo Liberman then concluded: “I am super excited to represent Padova and to wear the black and white shirt for the next SuperLega season. My personal goal is to help the team as much as possible and in the meantime improve, day after day, thanks to the structures and experience of the club.”
