CISTERNA DI LATINA (LATINA) –Very important reinforcement for Cisterna Volley who has signed the thirty-one year old central defender Enrico Diamantini. The 204 centimeter giant born in Fano with 13 Super League seasons behind him, leaves Civitanova after six seasons, and after having scored 1,038 points of which almost 300 were blocked, to look for new stimuli in Falasca’s roster.
Born in Fano on 4 April 1993, he arrived for six seasons at Cucine Lube Civitanova in which he won the Champions League, the Club World Cup, three championships and two Italian Cups.
The words of Enrico Diamantini-
«I know how passionate the Pontine area is about volleyball and how much this club wants to continue to improve after what it did in the last Super League season, coming close to qualifying for the play-offs in a year in which they also had to absorb some important changes which then brought results that everyone could see – explains Diamantini – I have no doubts about the value of the club and the team and this helped me a lot in the choice: I know that the team is built well and that few changes have been made compared to the previous structure season, I don’t want to name names but I think the team is well set up and I realize that we will be able to get some satisfaction and, also on a personal level, I think it is exactly the right choice for me at this stage of my career.”
The center back from Fano, who in addition to the many seasons with Lube, starting right from the youth sector of the cooks, has also played in Molfetta, in Volley Potentino, in Padua, in Vibo Valentia and Ravenna.
«I consider myself a good teammate, I like being a group, I have always got along very well with everyone both on the pitch and in the locker room but also off the pitch where it is nice to build those relationships which then help to create an amalgam which then helps to get out in difficult times”
Diamantini then answered two specific questions about objectives, both personal and team, he adds.
«On a personal level, even though I am 31 years old, I don’t see why we shouldn’t continue to improve. Maybe I wouldn’t be able to change my way of playing but certainly in Cisterna I will be able to take further steps that will lead me to grow further. also because in a complicated championship like the Super League you always have to get involved and always improve – he assures – Where would I like to grow? I would say from all points of view, even in the fundamental wall where I think I express myself better, but also in the others I would like to continue to progress to the full advantage of the support I will be able to give to the team. Continuing on the subject of personal objectives, I consider myself a very meticulous person and, also for this reason, I would like to continue working on the service in a specific way to increase my potential. Moving on to the team, the basic objective must certainly be to have a good championship and perhaps reach the play-offs, given that Cisterna Volley came close to this goal in the previous season: if we look at what the other teams are doing on the market, you can see that many clubs that did very well in the recently concluded championship have however significantly changed their personnel and we could get involved in this and try to take advantage of it.”
