“I feel I got better compared to the beginning – said Verona’s middle blocker Simone Anzani who just completed a week of work with the Italian National team to prepare for the World championships – I am being put to the test with a group of top quality players. Little by little I had to adapt to the rhythm of my teammates. I am happy to be part of it all”. Then he spared a few words on the coming season with Verona: “We’ll kick off straight away with a tough test in Macerata. I’ve been joking around with the Macerata players in the national team that Verona would win it!. Then we’ll have more big teams to face in the first few rounds, but I’m sure we can do well”.
