“We have achieved what we wanted so far. We believe we have set up a balanced team from a moral and technical point of view. The field will tell us if we were right ”. This is how the sporting director of the biancoblu team Gabriele Cottarelli comments on the set-up of the Emma Villas Aubay Siena roster. Which continues in his analysis: “We have engaged two opposites that guarantee us a certain performance – he declares. – We have good central players, a setter like Finoli who has shown his qualities in Serie A2 and now he will have to confirm himself in the Super League. The 4 places included in our roster do not need to be presented, they played in strong and important teams and are nationals “.
Volleymarket days continue at Zanhotel Centergross in Bologna. Tomorrow afternoon the calendars for the next sporting season will be drawn up.
The market of the Sienese team started late compared to the other teams in the category. That is, when the opportunity to participate in the Super League championship has materialized. Cottarelli continues in his analysis: “Petric was the first name made in the construction of the roster. I stood up for him. It is a player who is not only important and leader on the field, but also off and who has a value and relevance as well for his moral qualities. Van Garderen played in a strong team, I was impressed by his performances in the final part of last season. As for the diagonal, then, it is waiting to be discovered. Together with Garnica I believe that Finoli was the best setter in the A2. Pereyra has never played in the Super League but he is still a national team. Pinali is also in the national team and will have to confirm himself next season. We would like to have created a tough team of fighters who can play volleyball well. The team’s goal is salvation, we wanted to take players who had the right motivations and who deeply believed in the project. We started after the others in setting up the team, the organization and preparation go on. For the club, participating in the Super League championship is a unique opportunity. Let’s go ahead with the work, we update with the President Giammarco Bisogno who is giving the opportunity to do what we had established “.
On Swan Ngapeth, the latest coup announced by the club, Cottarelli declares that “it was a flash negotiation. We got in touch and in a short time we found an agreement “.
And finally on the staff: “Coach Paolo Montagnani is a very good coach in the gym, which is the aspect that interests me most”.
