The serbian middle blocker is 31 tomorrow and he is working hard to recover asap from his ankle injury from 10 days ago at the Olympics qualifying tournament in Turkey.
“It is a bad dislocation so it needs time to recover fully. I am trying to do it as quick as possible because I miss going on court already” Qualifying for the Olympics has kind of made up for the pain though: “This will be my 4th Olympic game and I am super happy to be able to take part: It is a dream coming true. Before Beijin I have to think about Lube’s commitments though. We are a new group but already thight, we have all the cards to do well and get some satisfactions”.
the team has managed two great victories without him against Montichiari and Modena. “The range of players available is of great quality in each role and the match Modena was an example of it; with regards to middle blockers in particular, this is nothing new really given Rodrigao and Lebl are absolute champions.
Monday’s victory was an important one and useful for the future, which came thanks to a continuity the opponent did not have. A great performance by the team especially with regards to their attitude and an amazing Valerio Vermiglio….”.
