He is now a Bellunese by adoption. And his zodiac sign is not the lion, but the rhinoceros. Filippo Maccabruni is ready to face his third year at the foot of the Dolomites: «My path has always gone hand in hand with that of Belluno Volley – says the director born in Segrate – in terms of expectations and growth. I am very happy to be here and to have taken this path. We hope to improve further, together with the team».
“BIG” TEAM – The squad has changed profoundly, with nine additions. And five confirmations: one of which involves the setter himself. «It’s a team equipped from a physical point of view, very “big” – smiles Filippo -. Some guys are really tall. We will be a group that will fight, that will never give up and will take the field every Sunday to achieve the goals set. We can put on a show, if we consider the technical skills. And also those of character ».
DESIRE – After having wandered for a long time between Rome, Mondovì, Lagonegro, Cisano Bergamasco and Bolzano, “Macca” pitched his tents in the Belluno area: «It has never happened to me to stay so long in the same square. I never would have thought it, but it was my wish. Changing is complicated, I have traveled all over Italy and a profound spirit of adaptation is required. The reality is that I feel at home in the Dolomites. And this is definitely a “plus” to give your best».
MERIT – Belluno Volley is called to play a leading role. Consequently, ambition is intertwined with the inevitable pressure: «How do you reconcile the two aspects? Simple, with hard work. I am a person who takes into consideration the results, but even more the merit. If we want to be successful, we have to deserve it. And then, we have always had pressure and we always will have it, as it should be. You just have to keep calm, in addition to focus on the goal».
ENVIRONMENT – Together with the rhinos, an already seething crowd will take to the field: «The fans will follow us more and more, I’m sure of that – concludes “Macca” -. Obviously it is then up to us to push them to reach the arena, through the results and the good game. The Spes Arena will be able to give us an important hand».
