Yuasa Battery completes the lateral department by drawing from the B series. The ideal profile is young, futuristic and super motivated for a watershed adventure such as the A2 2023/24 series will be. Born in 2001, 192 centimeters, originally from Cesena, Matteo Bellomo will make his debut in the second national category joining the roster of coach Ortenzi as the fourth spiker.
A love for volleyball that blossomed at the age of 10, in the footsteps of his mother and consequently to a not so engaging approach to the world of football. A youthful path that led him to wear the Ravenna shirt arriving several times to compete in the Under 16 and Under 18 national finals until he conquered, the icing on the cake, the third place in the 2017 Trophy of the Regions with Emilia Romagna. From there the return home, Cesena reserves him a shirt to face the 2017/18 Serie C championship. A year of apprenticeship before achieving promotion already at the second attempt and therefore making his debut in Serie B in the 2019/20 season. The cadet championship will see him protagonist for two consecutive seasons at the Rubicon until Grottazzolina’s call: “I already knew this square because it has quite a history behind it – declared the new signing of Yuasa Battery -. Through my agent, I learned that the company was looking for a profile useful to complete the department, which at the same time could grow and improve. Right from the start I felt great availability and hospitality, I took some time to reflect and I soon decided to embrace this project.”
First real experience outside your comfort zone and a big double jump from B to A2. A succession of firsts from which flows a good mix of adrenaline, curiosity and ambition: “I will train at a level never seen before so I am aware of the fact that I will have to work hard to keep up with such a strong and complete squad – he continued Bellomo -. It’s a prospect that I like and it offers me great stimuli, I’m very curious to discover the A2 series and see how far we can go. I don’t lack the grit and desire to start this new adventure, I’m just waiting for the start of training to put myself on the line and express myself to the best of my abilities.”
