Beppe Cormio (general manager of A.S. Volley Lube):
“This is not a new face in the Lube environment because I brought him to Italy in the last two years to train him in the summer with our staff. Even when he was only 17 and a half years old he demonstrated important prerogatives for a central defender such as speed of execution, speed in moving on the pitch and coordination. Among other things, he was already good at jumping and has further grown in height. He also appears younger than his chronological age, but he is already physically ready and will have an easy maturation. Furthermore, his motivations will influence his inclusion because building for Lube is somewhat of his life’s dream. I can now sign the fact that in the near future we will hear a lot about this boy, who has all the characteristics to make his way among the best in the role!”.

Playing in Italy and being part of one of the most prestigious clubs in the volleyball scene is not only my dream, but an aspiration of any player. The emotion I am feeling is indescribable. I can’t wait to start the season with my new teammates to grow and learn with them, I’m sure it will be a great year.
