Daniele Morato publicly praised him in front of notebooks and microphones, after having done so in person at the end of the game in the locker room, for his performance at the Gubbio sports hall, in Cisterna’s tie-break loss to Milan: Tommaso Guzzo demonstrated all his qualities, shining in attack and blocking. But more than his own performance, the 2002-born opposite hitter prefers to highlight the team’s performance.
“The coach’s compliments were obviously very pleasing,” he emphasized. “But I prefer to focus on what the group has achieved: we’ve shown signs of improvement, and the arrival of Plak, Currie, and Bayram has certainly brought us a lot more than a few weeks ago. We’re still lacking something in terms of serving; we need to better understand the various situations that arise in matches. We’re working on it, and the preseason games are for that. Winning isn’t the key, even though I would have preferred beating Milan rather than losing to the fifth seed. What’s important is understanding what and how we need to improve. Our progress, however, is evident after a month and a half of work. It was natural to take time, given that we’re a new team with so many young players, but the growth process has continued in the best possible way.”
