Smartsystem Fano’s big blow with the arrival in the Virtussina jersey of the central defender Stefano Mengozzi from Ravenna, born in 1985, he’s an athlete who boasts a sporting curriculum of great depth and who arrives in the City of Fortune with great enthusiasm: “Ready to be combative and at the same time ambitious – states the central expert – I am excited to help Fano achieve their objectives in the coming season”.
From 2011-12 to 2022-23 Mengozzi always played in the Super League, then he landed in A2 in Ravenna. His CV includes 2 Italian Cup wins (in A2 and Super League), 1 Italian Super Cup and a world club championship with Perugia, as well as several promotions achieved from Serie A2 to Serie A1: “Humility and a great desire to work – he continues Mengozzi – these will be the qualities that Fano must have next season. Given the difficulty of the category, even winning a single point in the match could be fundamental for us. The first races of the season will already be able to tell us something.”
Then Mengozzi continues: “In training I always look for perfection and I am sure that with hard work in the gym we will be able to get some satisfaction and for this reason I would like to be an example for the young people who will be there. For my part, I will try to make a decisive contribution to the team on the front line with blocking and attack, while in batting tactical regularity is my best quality.”
Then the former Perugia player pauses to comment on Smartsystem’s exciting season finale: “I carefully followed the season finale with the victory in the play offs – concludes the Virtussian centre-back – I understood that Virtus has a great following, they are I’m sure I’ll establish the right feeling with the fans.”
