The 12 Italians selected for the World League are off to Brazil tonight. Two games scheduled on Friday and Saturday and there will be a lot of Macerata in it. The recently crowned Italian champions Michele Baranowicz, Jiri Kovar, Simone Parodi and Ivan Zaytsev will all be on the plane. Besides, there will be spiker Luigi Randazzo, who played this season at Vibo but came up in Macerata’s youth ranks. Born in 1994, he had won the U19 national title with Macerata

“This first cap will be a fantastic experience – said Randazzo – I will try to make the most of it in order to get better as a player and as a person. This will be very exciting, a fascinating trip to Brazil is our first stop. Wearing the Italian shirt is the dream of any athlete who start playing. I immediately found myself at ease in the group. I already know many of them because they play or have played for Macerata”.
