There are players who set the audience on fire with their celebrations and raise the volume of emotions with a gesture, a word, a look. And then there is Matteo Mozzato. An athlete and a person of granitic solidity, rigor and balance. Never over the top. Because its essence is all there: in the perfect gesture of a first half, in the technical cleanliness of a well-placed wall. In essence. Last Saturday, together with teammate Gonzalo Martinez, he reached one hundred appearances in A3, wearing the Belluno Volley shirt. One hundred games played with the same approach, with that consistency which is the most underrated quality of those on the pitch. Because ups and downs belong to everyone, but few manage to always be on top of things. And they are synonymous with reliability. As is Mozzato.

HONOR – Central defender originally from Treviso, but Belluno by adoption, he has been one of the pillars of the rhinos for four seasons. He touched his first ball at home, in the Orogranata youth team. Then the growth, the sweat, the championships in which he expanded his wealth of experience, until he found a permanent position at the foot of the Dolomites: «The one hundred appearances in this great club represent a splendid achievement, as well as a profound honor. And they reflect a path of growth and maturation that involved me, as well as the club. In fact, we grew up together.” If today Belluno Volley recognizes itself in “Mozzi”, it is not only for his shots at the net.
