In his eyes and mind, there are still echoes of the volleyball transfer market, “where,” he explains, “thanks to the work of the Volleyball League, we’ve had important feedback on the management of contractual aspects for registered players, also in light of the reform of sports employment, and knowing we have their support and presence is a factor of no small importance.”

Gennaro Niro, sporting director of the EnergyTime Spike Devils Campobasso, is, like all fans, particularly curious to see in action a group that, together with coach Giuseppe Bua, he helped build.

“Certainly,” he adds, “the idea fully shared by both was to create a mix of experienced players from these tournaments like Arienti, Graziani, and Morelli, and particularly promising young players, who, last season, had a good tournament. We’ve also added a promising young player like Bulgarian fullback Valchinov, a constant presence in Group B of his country’s national team and closely monitored by coach Blengini, making this a significant gamble.”
