Nicolò Hoffer, born in 2000, will be the team’s second free thrower again next season. The extension of the contract between Hoffer and Gas Sales Bluenergy Volley Piacenza was signed in recent days to the great satisfaction of both parties.
Born in Soave in the province of Verona, Nicolò Hoffer, 180 cm tall, arrived in Piacenza last summer after playing the previous year in A2 in the Cave del Sole Lagonegro with which he had reached the quarterfinals of the promotion playoffs .
This season, every time he’s been called on the pitch, his contribution has been positive, just as he’s always given his best every day in training.
“I am logically satisfied – underlines Nicolò Hoffer – to be able to wear the red and white jersey again in the next season which will see us protagonists again in Europe but in the most important competition. This season I have grown a lot not only on a technical level but also as a person and this thanks to having been able to live and work for an entire year close to great players and great champions not only on the pitch. My goal is to grow more and more and give my best every time both in training and every time I’ll have the chance to take the field. My favorite free is Grebennikov but I know I don’t have his characteristics and so I try to take many small things from everyone, I try to find the characteristics that best suit me from each one”.
Nicolò Hoffer took his first steps in the Trentino youth sector. He completed his growth path with Volley Segrate where he obtained numerous satisfactions, making himself appreciated as one of the best free throwers. Then the leap into the senior team of Allianz Milano, with which he also played the CEV Cup and then moved on to Prisma Taranto where he won the A2 Championship and therefore was always the protagonist in A2 with the Lagonegro shirt from where Gas Sales Bluenergy Volley Piacenza took him last summer.
Nicolò Hoffer is predestined, he grew up on bread and volleyball. The volleyball ball was in his hand from an early age. His mother Alessandra Campedelli, former coach of the deaf Italian national team winner of the European Championship in 2019 and silver at the World Cup and of the Iranian women’s national team, was his first coach, while his father Sergio is a former Serie B setter.
