The spiker scores a hat trick, his fourth consecutive season at Yuasa: “I feel more and more part of this family, all together we’re defending a dream.”

Twelve months ago, we were here to recount Fedrizzi’s act of love for Grottazzolina, with a multi-year contract signed as proof of a strong bond that’s not just about the court and technique. And it’s precisely with Michele Fedrizzi that the Yuasa Battery is starting over, but before discussing the future, we need to rewind for a moment on what is, for all intents and purposes, a film worth revisiting. May 2023: Fedrizzi is in Vibo Valentia, where he has just celebrated a historic treble in Serie A2 (Championship, Italian Cup, and Super Cup). It seems like the natural closing of a circle for a spiker who has always been accustomed to the elite stages (14 national team appearances), but who has long been away from the top division due to strange twists of fate. That joy, however, quickly turns into a shock: Vibo withdraws from the Super League. What might have seemed like the beginning of a professional nightmare instead becomes the beginning of a beautiful story.
