And then there are a thousand left. Paraphrasing a summer catchphrase, these are the points that Alessandro Graziani has scored in Serie A, within a career to be framed. The spiker from Da Rold Logistics Belluno crossed the prestigious finish line last Saturday, on the occasion of the derby won in Monselice.

DEBUT – Now that the quadruple figure is a reality, the question arises almost spontaneously: of these thousand, which absolute point remains engraved in memory? Graziani has no doubts: «The first, on his debut in A2. I played in “my” Liguria, with Siena and on my birthday. In reality, every point has its weight, especially in the final sets, but in that match I achieved my personal ambition».

QUALITY – After reaching 100 games, here’s another important step in the journey of the thirty-one-year-old originally from Genoa: «But what counts is quality, not quantity. You can have far fewer points than mine, but if they were scored in decisive moments and championships they have a higher value. As far as I’m concerned, the goals achieved in Serie B have the same importance: they are part of my career and are no less than what I achieved in Serie A. Those championships shaped me».
