The professional bond that binds Alessio Carraro to the green-and-white club continues for another season, in fact in these hours the official status has arrived: he will again lead the athletic training of HRK Motta di Livenza in the next season that will see the lions at the ribbon starting point of the national championship of A2 by CREDEM BANCA2022 / 2023. Born in 1981, Carraro boasts a very respectable curriculum with experiences both nationally (Sisley Treviso, Spes Conegliano, Silvolley, Invent Volley San Donà, HRK Motta and Kioene Padova just to name a few) and international (Galatasaray, Sofia, Targoviste as well as being he was a trainer of the Senior Men’s National Team of Bulgaria) with top-level participation such as the World League, the European championship and the world championship. We met him to talk about next season.

The debut year in A2 went quite well. Did you expect it?
“Yes… I would say that the season went very well on a sporting level. To be honest I didn’t expect it, or rather at first I didn’t expect it, but then I started to understand that we could do well, and if I can, I think we could have done even a little better. Let’s say that I did not expect it also because I did not know the A2 championship and consequently I was unable to place our team, but I became aware of it as the season went on. ”

How difficult will it be to repeat itself?
“Each championship has a story of its own, it will seem rhetorical but that’s the way it is. We are changing a lot, a breath of fresh air that in my opinion will be good both for the club, but also for the players who will be able to face new experiences. Repeating oneself would mean hitting the same result as last season, not repeating oneself, however, could mean doing even better (smiles). Jokes aside, it won’t be easy at all. The level has risen, there are teams that have made very important investments. Vibo above all, but I am thinking of Portoviro, Bergamo. Other teams have changed a lot like us, for example Reggio who won the championship. Then I think of Cantù who could be a dangerous outsider, who will play with “our” diagonal and do very well. As mentioned, the level has risen further, but we will be able to have our say. It won’t be easy to repeat, but this is another different championship, with a story of its own. “
