Volley Tricolore is betting on a big bet: the new Conad director will be sixteen-year-old Simone Porro.
Son and brother of art Simone is the last of the Porro brothers, the first Paolo has been playing in the SuperLega for four years, the last three with Milan, while Luca, the middle one, arrived in the SuperLega with Padova this year and temporarily is giving great satisfaction to De Giorgi at the VNL.
Simone, born and raised in Genoa in 2007, continued his youth journey with Volley Treviso, with which this year he won first the U17 regional title and then the U17 national final, crowning the dream of the previous season in which Simone he came second at the nationals again with the under17s: “The call from Reggio Emilia was definitely unexpected, I experienced a boom of emotions, because my heart filled with joy. Despite the surprise, I had to stay focused on the current year, because with Treviso we were right at the peak of the season, and this paid us back with the results we achieved.”
Despite his young age he already boasts an envious list of successes, in fact he has won various tournaments with the national youth team, such as the European under 17: “The jump in category is a gap that can be closed, it depends on the will I have during the year, but that will undoubtedly happen, I want to test myself and work hard, I believe that the results will come this way, plus I have played a lot of time with the national youth team, where the level is still high, so I think I be ready to take this step forward.”
This year you will move from youth to Serie A, what do you expect from the season?
“Next season we will face a championship that becomes more and more competitive every year, as demonstrated by the rosters of the other teams that are gearing up, we will try to make the best championship possible by taking advantage of all our resources available to grow and we will see what results we can achieve” .
