Virtus Volley Fano and Mattia Raffa, the winning combination. Not only in sporting terms but also for the relationship that the Lombard has established with the city: “Fano is beautiful, people live well and above all there is the sea – begins the Virtussian captain – which I love both in winter and summer. And this is said by someone who comes from the north and can taste these things.”
Mattia Raffa will once again be the captain of Smartsystem Fano and for the Lombard it is a source of pride: “I have never been captain in the teams in which I had played until now – continues Raffa – Fano has given me this opportunity and I hope to be one was up to par. Furthermore, in a city that lives on volleyball and with a always full Palas, being captain fills me with joy.”
With a few weeks of work behind him, the libero from Virtussi analyzes the moment: “Only positive things – says Raffa – we are already close-knit, we need to aim for group cohesion because this element allowed us to do very well last season. There will be the novelty of the southern group with long trips and new places to visit, but this shouldn’t scare us too much.”
The march towards the start of the championship (15 October in Lecce) will also pass through some test matches that Smartsystem will have to undergo: “These joint training sessions will have to make us understand where we are – concludes Raffa – and what we need to improve on. Honestly, I can’t wait for the championship to arrive because I would really like to hug the public and our special fans again.”
