For the first time, in the Italian Men’s Beach Volleyball Championship, a Catanian couple climbs to the top step of the podium. Franco Arezzo and Geri Ndrecaj, top team of the Masterball Academy, conquer the victory in the second stage, which ended yesterday at the Capannine in Catania. In the final, the two Sicilian boys, dragged onto the home sand by an extraordinary crowd, beat Mauro Sacripanti and Giacomo Titta 2-0. A victory of heart, quality, and strongly desired technique.
“A dream that comes true – explains Franco Arezzo, born in 1993, awarded as best player – because winning on the sand of my home, in front of the people I love, my family first and foremost, the most precious thing, friends and those who believe in you, was priceless. An extraordinary emotion, perhaps the most beautiful I have ever felt in my sporting life. Now we must not stop. New challenges await us, tournaments where we can test ourselves. The turning point? In my opinion, the ninth place in the international tournament in Messina at the Futures, allowed us to mature and become fully aware, after a period that was not positive in terms of results”.
For Geri Ndrecaj an unforgettable success: “The run towards my parents after the victory in the semifinal against Bigarelli and Reggiani tells what it means to have your family by your side. I am happy because we believe a lot in this sport. We work hard to achieve great results. These are emotions that I share with all the people in our team who help us grow”.
