All useful at Belluno Volley: indeed, indispensable to face a high-speed return round. And climb positions in the Serie A3 Credem Banca championship standings. Everyone, yes. From those who regularly start in the starting six to those who come in during the match. And maybe they even decide the match in question with the point of the bracket. As happened to Stefano Antonio Guolla last December 7, during the 3-0 success against Geetit Bologna: «It was a unique emotion – says the twenty-one year old born in Germany -. After putting the last point on the ground, we all rejoiced together for the victory. An unforgettable moment.”

INCONVENIENCES – Guolla and the Rhinos ended the first leg in sixth place. And they started off on the right foot in the return leg, following the coup perfected in Cagliari against Cus: «The first part of the season wasn’t all roses and flowers. We have had some inconveniences, but, training after training, we are growing a lot and are able to express our potential: both on and off the pitch. On a personal level, I am working hard every day, tirelessly: I try to use 110 percent of my abilities, in order to offer a constructive contribution to the team.”

IMPROVED AND INTEGRATED – Stefano guarantees commitment, dedication and positivity: «I feel I have improved in almost all the fundamentals, especially in batting. But the most important aspect is another: I integrated into the group right away. And, thanks to the advice of my teammates, I have seen a change of pace that can bring benefits to myself and the collective.” The opposite is inspired by a role of equal caliber, like captain Bisi: «I have an excellent relationship with Fabio. From a sporting point of view, I always ask him for advice for certain game situations and, in the captain, I find great willingness to answer any question. There is a good harmony between us, we can tell each other everything: sometimes – he smiles – our words lead to loud laughter. He’s an excellent teammate, as everyone is: I’m trying to get ideas from everyone to improve further.”

FIRST HOME GAME IN 2024 – In the meantime, the first home match of 2024 is scheduled for Sunday 7 January: Moyashi Garlasco will arrive at the Spes Arena, currently occupying the penultimate position in tandem with Mirandola. The game will be played a couple of hours earlier than usual: at 4pm. «I don’t like to make predictions, but I look at reality – concludes Guolla -. If we demonstrate what we do every day in training, it will be fun.”
