Among the new names he was perhaps the most awaited, the “bomber” who will make the hands of the Virtussino fans peel and guarantee entertainment on the pitch: Alejandro Rizo Gonzalez is the new Virtussino opposite, the one with “heavy points” and “hot balls”.
Cuban from Santa Clara, born in 1990, 200 cm tall, Rizo was a globetrotter (Switzerland, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, Argentina, while in Italy we remember the experiences of Atripalda, Macerata and this year Grottazzolina in A2) and how first of all he would like to immediately warm the hearts of the Fanesi: “I want to remember the first person who helped me enter Italy back in 2011 – recalls Rizo – that Joe Salgado who I know played in Fano. For me he is a great friend because thanks to him I was able to settle well in your country”.
Many experiences abroad but also important Italian stages: “I remember Macerata in 2019 – continues Gonzalez – unfortunately then the covid arrived just when we were having a great championship. So I decided to go back abroad and this year, while I was training with Superlega Milan, I got a call from Grottazzolina. At that point I asked myself: why do they call me even though a certain Breuning Nielsen plays in my role? A manager from Milan reassured me by telling me that Nielsen would have calmly played as a spiker and so it was……..”. With the arrival of Gonzalez, the people of Grotto managed to save themselves after a difficult period, now Fano: “The public in Fano was beautiful and fantastic, I followed the playoffs …… my goodness how many people were there!!” .
With Macerata in A3 Rizo traveled at an average of 25 points per game and he says about him: “I’m a sunny person and I like making friends – concludes Rizo – I’m passionate about music, I like reggaeton and Cuban music, which i love to play. I love being with my family and when I can I bring my whole family from Cuba. I love fitness and in the future I would like to work as a personal trainer”.
