Andrea Santangelo is a new player of Cuneo. In the eighth year of the A2 series, after a season in Korea and having raised the Italian Cup and the Super Cup in Bergamo, Andrea wants to regain his place in the Italian category rankings and has chosen Cuneo to reach the goal.
With Pedron the diagonal is served, Andrea is looking forward to starting the season: “It is an honor to play for a historic square like Cuneo in one of the most beautiful arenas in Italy and with a present and warm supporters like the Blue Brothers. I got to know the Cuneo area up close during the playoffs last season and I immediately fell in love with it; organization and attention to detail that are not found everywhere. The personal goal will be to improve myself day after day and help the team win! This year several companies have equipped battleships and are applying for promotion, we are certainly among them and I believe that to win you have to work harder and better than the others, going, with time and work, to oil all the team mechanisms. . I have never had the pleasure of working with Max, but when we met this summer I immediately understood that he is a very charismatic man and he transmits his passion for volleyball a lot. He strongly believes in working hard, which is why we will start as early as August 3rd with the physical preparation to have all the time to become a close-knit team ».
Great expectations from both the athlete and the person, coach Giaccardi has a lot of confidence in his place 2: “I have followed Andrea since the season abroad and I continued when he returned to play those of A2 here in Italy. As I have often stated, I believe more in people than in players, even if to have a level team they need to have technical-tactical skills. In my opinion, the Santangelo man will be the key to his role as a Cuneo bomber; I believe that after the misstep in Ortona, he has a great desire for redemption and this will be the spring that will make him become one of the best in the next championship if not the best in the category ».
