Alva Inox 2 Emme Service Porto Viro welcomes Alex Erati back. After two very high-profile seasons with Consoli Sferc Brescia, the 202-centimeter-tall, 1994-born center will return to wear the black-fuchsia jersey in the next Credem Banca Serie A2 championship.

“After the year we spent together, there is still a good relationship of friendship and respect with the entire black and fuchsia environment, in addition to the memory of a special season that I carry within me – says Erati himself – Every time I returned to play in Porto Viro as an opponent, it was exciting to stop and say hello to everyone, even the fans, who are increasingly numerous. Here you feel good and you play good volleyball, two fundamental aspects for me. When the opportunity to return came, the club and I immediately found each other: it was all very natural. I would add that my girlfriend plays in Veneto, and the fact of having her closer, of seeing her regularly, will help me feel even better. For next season, the club is building a competitive roster, with quality players: all the conditions to do well are there, and I am charged and optimistic”.

But will Erati be different from the one in the first chapter in black and fuchsia? “Unfortunately I am two years older – he jokes – Jokes aside, with time you mature, in Brescia I think I grew a lot especially in blocking. When I arrived in Porto Viro for the first time, I came from a difficult experience and I had a great desire for redemption.
