It will be a special challenge, needless to hide it. It will be for everyone, because it doesn’t happen every day to see the vice-champion team of Europe at work: that is, Itas Trentino, ready to reach the Spes Arena to face the Da Rold Logistics Belluno (Friday 9, 6 pm: admission is free).
But it will be doubly special for Paolo Bristot. Yes, because Paolo is not only a capable executive and the new head of the DRL youth sector. He is also Alessandro’s father: a spiker and a fresh European Under 18 title, won in the Azzurri shirt during the summer. Now, however, having closed the parenthesis with the national team, “Ale” has resumed training in the ranks of his club: yes, itas Trentino. And since the first team lacks five athletes involved in the World Cup (Sbertoli, Lavia, Micheletto, in addition to the Serbs Lisinac and Podrascanin, without considering the free of Italy Under 20, Laurenzano), here is Bristot, in this first part of the season , joined the group of coach Angelo Lorenzetti on a permanent basis. And on Friday he will face the “rhinos” as an opponent. In addition to dad Paolo.
«It will be an exciting moment – smiles the manager of the Belluno nursery – I won’t hide it. Who will I cheer for? For volleyball: a sport that has given a lot to me and now also to my son. Thanks to volleyball, Alessandro came into contact with people with a high moral profile: people who contributed to his growth ». In short, on Friday Paolo’s heart will inevitably be divided in half: «Ale is pursuing an important path. And with their own legs. I never wanted to direct him in any way: at most he asked me for some advice ».
