Special welcoming at the Verona airport where hundreds of supporters were waiting for their champions. Giani’s men came back from their triumphant Challenge Cup final in Siberia as the club wrote their name of European competition history on their first ever participation. Vice president Luca Bazzoni and Sport Councillor Alberto Bozza were there to congratulate the team too. The arrival turned into a big celebration with the fans singing, flags and scarfs flying all over…
“What a feeling it’s been to win this Challenge Cup – said Australian middle blocker Aidan Zingel – It was one of our goals and coming back with the cup and medals with the party waiting for us was special. I was not looking at the score, I did not know we were at the match point. Then I saw Taylor running and that’s when I realised we’d won it. A unique emotion”.
