“If I had been a screenwriter I would not have been able to write a better season finale for Cucine Lube’s seventh Scudetto”. The second white and red coach Romano Giannini, from the Marche region who arrived in the summer at the court of coach Gianlorenzo Blengini, lets all his emotion leak out for the epilogue of a hard but rewarding year and emphasizes the winning mentality of the Club. ” certain point of the tournament – explains the coach -, the third consecutive championship of Lube seemed a utopia. Then the team fought with all their strength and we overcame even the toughest obstacles. Chicco Blengini has created an authentic masterpiece. For the rest I think it is hard to identify merit scales in the group, this is a triumph that everyone in the Lube environment must feel as their own because they contributed from the first to the last. What made the difference was the winning imprinting of the cooking association “.
Everyone called it the most beautiful Scudetto. Giannini had never stopped believing in the final victory and declaring it openly. “We are Lube – he remembers -. To undermine the title, the opponents would have had to do more. Let’s not forget that we had the full roster in training only on the eve of the Play Offs and in the play-offs we lost the captain again, but we never fell down ”.
After a long experience as head coach, Giannini stepped into the role of second by making himself available and contributing to key victories. “I believe I have worked with great passion and have always been in line with my role – the words of the deputy -. It must be said that volleyball has given me more than I have given volleyball. I chose a new path, but I did it in one of the most prestigious and strongest companies in the world, supported by a large property! “.
One of Giannini’s greatest satisfactions is having repaid the trust of Blengini, who had wanted him by his side. “I am proud – he says – to have faced this adventure by responding to the call of the former coach of the national team, one of the strongest coaches in the world and with the most Scudetti in red and white. For me it is a great joy to be among the architects of the most beautiful tricolor of Lube and to have won by representing my brands. I will never stop thanking the Club! ”.
