Samuele Papi, born in 1973, 27 seasons in the top division with his number 6 shirt on the back. 8508 points scored, and 800 appearances between league and cup games. A special moment was dedicated to him before the game against Piacenza, because the man is much more than just a few numbers.
« It’s been a special day – said Papi who was named MVP in his first full game as libero – 800 games are a lot and I know there are not many left before the end of my career. I am happy with the win, we managed to impose our rhythm and contain their best spikers from the start. We also had an excellent serve. As for me, I tried to give my best as I always do, I am glad I could help the team, but I still need to get used to this new role ».
