From ‘militiaman’ at the court of Radostin Stoytchev in Trento to ‘fantasist’ supporting Giuseppe Bua in Molise.

Michele Morelli’s career passes – in broad terms – through these two extremes. The thirty-four-year-old Apulian side, the latest addition to EnergyTime Spike Devils Campobasso, is more than a sweet in the ideal Epiphany stocking for owner Marco Pulitano’s club and the result of authentic ‘magic’ – never a more suitable term considering the Christmas period of arrival – of the rossoblù sporting director Gennaro Niro.

Already on the pitch for some exchanges in Tricase in the match against Lecce, last Saturday in the triumphant home match against Castellana Grotte (among other things his former team, one of numerous in a career which from Piedmont to Puglia led him to wander a bit all over Italy) was one of the cornerstones of the rossoblù group. Permanently in the starting six, he disengaged as the opposite and was somewhat of a balancer for the group, also bringing his vast experience to the service of the cause and acting as a ‘silent leader’ of the Campobasso group.
