Davide Moretti: “Venice a great opportunity for me”
The words of the new orogranata playmaker: “I am enthusiastic and happy to be part of this team and grateful to Reyer for having strongly wanted me, it is something that makes me proud. This is a great opportunity for me: Reyer is an ambitious club that aims for important goals and I will make myself completely available to my teammates and staff to give my contribution to the team.
Reyer has always given me the feeling of being a solid team with corporate foundations and high-level organisation.
They have already spoken to me about the “Reyer spirit” and I can relate to it perfectly because it is with this mentality that one can achieve something special. I bring with me my college experience at Texas Tech: after an incredible season we reached the NCAA final, as absolute “underdogs”. I grew up with the mentality that hard work, character and team spirit can lead you to achieve important goals.
I will give everything for this shirt and I can’t wait to meet everyone. We will see each other soon!”.
