Calling them veterans would be going over the top given that they are still far off turning 30 but when you talk with Enrico Peli and Andrea Ippolito, you have the feeling they have been at the club for ages.

“I can see we have a solid group – said Enrico – This is my fourth year in Reggio, this has become my second home town”.

“I don’t feel any responsibility – said Ippolito despite being the most improved player of last season – It’s been a splendid season for me last year, hopefully I’ll be able to do as well, or even do better”.
