Michel Guemart was elected to be the Reggio Emilia captain for the second consecutive season. His experience and charisma make the setter the perfect man to wear the armband. In the meantime, Kody Bitjaa will soon arrive in Reggio as his World Championships in Poland came to a halt at the first group stage. Cameroun could only take 3 sets in five games, but what matters is that Kody showed great improvement at the highest level, playing as a starter and doing well against teams much stronger than Cameroun.
