Born in Molfetta, born in 1998, Cormio will wear the Campi Reali Cantù shirt in the 20204/2025 season.
It is not Cormio’s first experience in Serie A
Cormio made his debut in SuperLega wearing the jersey of his city, Molfetta, in the 2014/2015 season, and then played steadily in Serie A3 Credem Banca wearing the jersey of Franco Tigano Palmi, a championship that was unfortunately interrupted early due to an injury. Now, after three years in Serie B, it is time for the Apulian spiker to get to know the second national category up close in the shadow of the bell tower of San Paolo.
Mattiroli’s words
Coach Alessandro Mattiroli comments on the new entry: “Elio is a player I faced in the last Serie B championship, and he impressed me with his physical and technical qualities. For me he is a player who is out of category in Serie B, and who deserved a call to a Serie A2 roster. He is a boy who has excellent prospects, and certainly he is one of those who I would have liked to coach.”
This is Cormio’s statement
The player’s words: “For me this is a great opportunity: it’s not every day that you get called up by higher categories, that you are appreciated for your qualities, and this makes you feel very good. I know the club, which I have followed in recent years, and I am very encouraged to return to Serie A after having enjoyed it for a short time (during the Serie A3 championship with Palmi he was forced to stop due to injury, ed.). Furthermore, when my city team, Molfetta, was in Serie A1 I was added to the first team, and I grew up with people who I will play against this year. I have followed the market movements, and I think that the next championship will be complex: there are players who have come down from the Super League, many teams are very strong, and I think it will be fun to play against them. On a personal level, I don’t make big plans, I tend to live day by day, and I give my best every day. Things are built, so I aim to carve out my space to lend a hand to the team: we are young guys, and in one way or another we all know each other. Someone is very expert in this category: we are a complete mix in my opinion, and it will be the key to doing things well. It’s a new experience: place, level, championship, and I really like new things and stimulate me. In short, an opportunity not to be missed!”.
