« Not having taken part in Rio still hurts » said coach Vincenzo Nacci, who went very close to take the Venezuelan team in Brazil but an ‘unfair’ system led them into an extremely tough draw in the last qualification tournament in spite of an excellent result in the previous one. Other teams that finished behind beneffited from a much easier draw and went to Rio. « The Olympic Games is the dream of every sports man. We went so close with Venezuela. As for Latina, we can’t wait to have all our players here. I congratulated Daniele Sottile for his silver medal, this is a huge achievement. We know how good is Daniele, I talked to him and he sounded extremely motivated for this new season ».
