BRESCIA – 30 years to go, 202 cm, the Milanese centre-back Alex Erati between the regular season and the playoffs this year he knocked down 228 balls, 79 of which were blocks.
Coach Zambonardi talks about it like this: “Alex is a serious guy and a hard worker who has brought a lot of quality to Brescia. He is a complete player and has always made himself available to staff and teammates. During the year I saw improvements in blocking, in serving – which he modified to favor other players – and also in defense. I’m sure he will confirm himself as an essential element for the group we are outlining.”
“I can only be happy with this first season – says Alex -. I don’t look at statistics and rankings, I know that I have improved my serve, opting for a more tactical and safe one that leaves room for heavy hitters, allowing them to force and at the limit make mistakes; I know that I did well on the wall and I know that I have a good synergy with Tiberti. For the coming year I can only hope that we will be able to establish the same harmony that we have breathed this year and which has supported us even in the most critical phases. Today in Brescia the expectations are certainly high because we are starting from two Cups and from a Super League dream that is still there, to be achieved, and we are certainly not holding back.”
