La Spezia, 22 May 2024 – There New Volleyball San Giovanni he finished the Serie B championship in seventh place, setting the historical record for points won. A source of pride for the general manager Giuseppe Tartagliaamong the main architects of the important season. «The balance can only be extremely positive» explains. The reference goes to the position in the final ranking, but not only that: «We set the record for points despite being included in the most complex group of the entire category. Furthermore, we were never able to field the full team as it was designed and built.” The turning point of the season came in the second half of the year: «With ifs and buts you can make beer, but not win matches and championships. So we don’t think about what could have been with a first round on the same level as the second half. We will keep the many beautiful things, but above all we will treasure the mistakes made to avoid repeating them. First of all, mine». The 2023-24 year, however, also leaves a solid base from which to start again. A model to take into consideration when planning the future. «We found many top-level players, but also coaches. – continues – I want to mention Carlotta Vinciguerra: a young and yet to be discovered prospect, destined to bring a lot of satisfaction. Anyway, we’ll see who decides to continue defending our colors. And who, on the contrary, will want to try other experiences. The indispensable stones of this project remain two: the president and coach Luigi Parisi. A head coach capable of building this technical-tactical organization worthy of a superior category.” Tartaglia also talks about the market: «If it were up to me, the team would already be made: I would confirm everyone en bloc. But since, honestly, it won’t be possible, we’ll see who we have to replace. And we will try to do it as best we can with an eye for people beyond volleyball players. I want to underline that we have an exceptional group: this has made the difference. Now they will all go to the seaside or to the mountains. They should have fun and rest. It’s important to recharge your batteries, because in September I’ll want everyone hungry for volleyball and the gym.” «I am just a wheel in this gear – concludes Tartaglia –. Every now and then I get stuck, but then I get back to shooting: I’ve been doing it for 51 years. The satisfaction I take home from this season is that of having surrounded myself with good people. I would like to remember them all for what they gave: Luigi, Carlotta, Marco, Marco, Andrea and Andrea, Anica, Michaela, Massimo, Elisa, Antonio, Fabio, Roberto, Anna, Carla, Gaia, Gianni, Chiara, Maddalena, Gian Luca , Daniele and Chiara again. Each of them placed a brick and the house didn’t turn out badly. All of this, however, would not even have been imaginable without the members of the Board of Directors, who found resources and solved the problems day by day. Thanks to them.”
