Upset at Hokkaido. Sports director Piero Pedretti was convinced that he had practically finished the market and completed the team that will participate in the next men’s B volleyball tournament that will start in October. But no. After the news of the farewell of the head of the rossoblù youth sector Riccardo Not, to whom the management had first proposed the bench of the first team and then to continue the adventure in the role of head of the youth sector, an Under 18 national, an Under 19 national and the starting director have asked to be transferred: namely Bigozzi (middle), Dalfiume (spiker) and Tassoni.
Bigozzi was requested by Castellana Grotte in A3 and by Modena Volley, Dalfiume by Diavoli Rosa: in the end, however, the trio should move en masse toAnderlini Modena to play in Serie B and should move on loan.
Now the hunt is on for a setter to play alongside Falzone, who will be promoted from the youth sector. A center and a spiker are also needed. But there is also good news: captain Ronchi, after waiting to see if there could be offers for him in Serie A, has broken the ice by deciding to stay: ergo, the new coach De Marco will be able to count on Ronchi and Bernardis, the same spiker pairing as last season, in addition to the confirmation of Ricci Maccarini as opposite. The attackers are there and are also of a good level, a pawn is needed to complete the high ball attackers sector.
Meanwhile, Pedretti has secured the reconfirmation of Tito and Bandieri at center: one is missing. Above all, a setter is needed.
The Hokkaido management is exploring the market of young players ready to join the Two Towers for university reasons. In short, it is always on the green line that seems intent on moving after having lost three products of the youth sector along the way, among the most talented in circulation, considering that two are also nationals in the Under, while Tassoni, despite being a 2007 class, already had a year of experience as a starter in B.
With Chiella, a free agent, having moved to San Giustino in Serie A, Imperato, another talent from the youth sector in the Under selections and national teams, who was second last year, will be promoted to starter. In fact, a director, a spiker and a middle blocker are now missing to close the team: a summit scheduled for the weekend between Pedretti and coach Di Marco to identify the next market priorities to try to close the roster as soon as possible.
