L’Umana Reyer Venice announced the multi-year hiring of Alexander Lever, last season at Gevi Napoli. The player’s words: “It is truly a great emotion to be part of Reyer and I thank them for their trust. I am convinced that it is a very important opportunity, when the call came I immediately accepted the challenge with great enthusiasm. Reyer is an ambitious club who always competes to win and I want to be ready to be part of this team. I will work hard to make my contribution, regardless of the minutes I play. Reyer also represents a great opportunity to improve as a player.
I am a person who likes to work out and be in the gym. I don’t know many words and I want to demonstrate with facts what a player I am. Reyer’s philosophy is like mine: giving everything on the pitch and putting the we before the “I”. I will also have the opportunity to work with a top notch coach and staff, I’m really looking forward to it. We will see each other soon!”
