Middle blocker Emanuel Kohut and outside hitter Robart Page were unveiled as new Piacenza players in the offices of sponsor Corte Auto. Born in Bratislava in July 1982, Kohut played in Italy for Treviso, Latina and Cuneo. Overall, 1122 points scored in Italy since the 2008-09 season, and among them there are 259 blocks and 75 aces. “I really feel we have a great team – he said – I really settled in fine in the group, in which we have top class players like Vermiglio, Papi and Zlatanov. There’s a lot to play for this year, the Super Cup, the League, the champions League, but it’s difficult to say how far we can go”.
Much younger is the Northern American Page, who was born in Switzerland in July 1992. The outside hitter came out of one of the most prestigious universities of the USA, UCLA. “I’m feeling very excited to be part of such an important club like Piacenza – he said – Despite the fact this will be my first year, I know this league and its top players very well. I’m here to get better and learn from the stars with whom I play every day”.
