He arrived last year from the Turkish league invested with the responsibility of taking over from Alberto Cisolla, but he never seemed disturbed by the potential competition, perhaps helped by his Cuban nature. Alfonso Gavilan, for all Abrahan, started working hard with coach Zambonardi – who bet on his potential – and quickly won over the San Filippo crowd. He closed his first season in Italy with a very respectable personal scoreboard: 410 points scored, 30 of which were blocks, which allowed him to place himself on a permanent basis – paired with Gallo – among the top ten scorers of the Regular Season , where only opposites normally exist. Among those top ten hitters, he is the one who has committed the fewest mistakes and is among the most difficult players to block (only 51 blocks conceded), as well as having a perfect attack percentage that reaches 52%. Only Buchegger, the opposite of Vibo, did better than him. In his debut he annihilated Cuneo, closing the match with 27 points and setting the Brescia fans on fire, convinced by his surprising and unstoppable shots in the rest of the championship.
The agreement with Tiberti will constitute one of the pillars of the new Consoli, which will therefore be able to count on a Gavilan-Cominetti diagonal that is nothing short of explosive!
28 years old, 197 cm and a very fast arm, Abrahan has a volleyball past in his native Cuba, where he breathed the air of the national team, first under and then major, imposing himself as MVP in the Pan-American Cup in 2016, when he won the gold medal . The first international experience takes him to Turkey in 2018, where he participates in the top division starting from the following championship, then moving to Afyon in 2020 and finally to Yeni Kızıltepe in 2021.
When the call from Italy arrives in 2022, the Caribbean band is not found unprepared and today assures: “I’m delighted to be able to play again in Brescia and I think we will make a different championship than last: we will entertain the Tucani audience very much more!”
For the coach Roberto Zambonardi: “It’s a confirmation we were very keen on, because we appreciated both the technical and human qualities of Abrahan. In addition to being one of the most efficient strikers in the category, he has always brought tenacity and determination onto the pitch: we can count on his willingness and professionalism to achieve important goals.”
