He will again be the “voice” of Belluno Volley during the home matches, broadcast on the Italian Volleyball League channel: Claudio Neri, confirmed in the role of commentator, in tandem with his technical support. That is, Eric “Basu” De Battista. Both with a past as coaches, they have the ability to read and describe the various competitions with an analytical eye, combined with the competence and passion of true volleyball enthusiasts.
RANGE OF ACTION – But Neri’s range of action is not limited to Sunday afternoons: it also develops during the week, in the gym. Dove wears the role of training assistant: «In reality I still don’t know how much I will be able to be present at the various sessions, because family issues are a priority. Being a “grandfather-sitter” – he smiles – I will also have to look after my granddaughter. For sure, I will continue to do commentary together with “Basu”.
FROM PAPER TO THE FIELD – There is great anticipation around Belluno Volley: «The season promises well, in light of the roster that the club has assembled. In the white group, everyone considers the rhinos to be favorites together with Acqui Terme. But, as we know, no one has ever won on paper: the final say always belongs to the field. In any case, it will be fun.” The group will be led by a coach who, during the summer, experienced the Paris Olympics as a protagonist, in the role of assistant coach of Slovenia: «I’m curious to see Matteo De Cecco at work – continues Neri -. His knowledge and experience are unquestionable. As for the staff, it is now tried and tested. And those who come to Belluno feel at home, at home. Recently, at the tournament dedicated to the memory of Giorgio De Kunovich, I saw Graziani, Novello, Gionchetti: exes who willingly return to visit their friends.”
EXCITING MOMENTS – Neri experienced the journey of Belluno Volley step by step. And, in general, of Dolomite volleyball: «As a coach I have enjoyed several exciting moments, while in A3 I had a lot of fun last spring in Palmi. In Calabria, the team played impeccably and managed to silence a large, warm and correct audience, which applauded us in the end.”
