“We have set ourselves some intermediate targets in this first phase of preparation – explained libero Sebastiano Thei who came up in the club’s youth ranks – So far so good, our first goal was to get in shape physically so that we could have a good basis on which to build all the work of the season. Now we’re taking care the fundamentals in order to be able to start working on game schemes. I was the only one not to work on the jumps. Indeed, when the others hit their first spikes, I was always on the other side of the net trying to receive them. Having grown up here, I perfectly know how coach Stoytchev works, but experiencing it as a protagonist is really special. I really like the way he talks to us the younger players, he really helps us a lot and he conveys his will to have success”.
