Calzedonia Verona: In Verona’s first outing, Giacomo Bellei finished top scorer with 20 points against Padova.

“This first game broke the ice a bit – said the outside hitter born in 1988, in his second season at the club – We knew it would be difficult. We played face to face the first sets, it’s a shame we could not get the victory, even if at this time of the year the result is secondary. What matters most is how we play and the physical sharpness which has to be in line with the training we do during the week”.
