Playoffs are written, but Nicolò Bassanello is read. The libero has always been on first name terms in the post season. Even last season, when he reached the finals, wearing the San Donà di Piave jersey. And now he is ready for a new adventure among the Belluno Volley rhinos, who are now about to face JV Gioia del Colle in the first semifinal game: in this regard, the appointment is for Sunday, April 6 (6:00 p.m.), at the VHV Arena.
BACK – Bassanello hopes he has settled the score with bad luck, given that the back injury has limited him for much of the year in front of the net: «Now it’s better, but it hasn’t been an easy journey. I had two hernias. And there were also two possible paths to solve the problem: surgery, which I decided to avoid. And therapy, marked by a precise path. Yes, I feel pretty good, despite some ups and downs. In this regard, I am happy to have contributed to the group, when it was needed: starting with training. I have always tried to make myself available to the younger ones and, in general, to be helpful».
NAVIGATING BY SIGHT – For weeks, the libero originally from Padua has been “navigating by sight”: «These are somewhat particular problems, in which recovery times can never be defined exactly. It is necessary to understand first of all how your body reacts. In any case, from a mental point of view I have experienced this situation well: they are “accidents along the way” that, in the career of an athlete, can happen.
