Volleyball Serie A1F. Giulia Gennari signs the contract extension “Now I’m in the national team, I’m stealing with my eyes from the champions”
the protagonist
Conquered the Champions it was to sing “we are the European champions” and in these days he also dresses the blue, working with the national team in Cavalese.
Giulia Gennari will be a panther for the third season, after having won seven trophies, which she will help to defend also for 2021/22. «Being champion of Italy, Europe and the world at the same time makes me proud, but I also feel a great responsibility, it’s a combination that rarely happens! It stimulates us to focus even more next year. I’m staying at Imoco, and it’s not a cliché, because we are really a family, strong ties have been created, a winning alchemy. There is a competent club, a top-level staff, clubs and coaches make us give our best in our work, wonderful fans, it’s a special environment where it’s a pleasure to work ».
The 25-year-old Roman setter has made 58 appearances in two seasons, few as a starter in her role and many as an aid for the serve or as a tactical weapon in the double change. «The first memory as a panther is my debut with Casalmaggiore, then the very strong emotion of the Club World Cup, and finally this year’s Champions League, a special milestone for our group, which the team and club have been looking for for a long time. It was nice to win it after a balanced and painful match ».
In addition there was the culmination of the blue call. “I’m super proud and super happy. This call to the national team makes me satisfied with the path that has brought me this far. The context is very stimulating and I continue to steal with my eyes here and there from many champions who are here, as I have done in recent years with Imoco and thus improve my baggage as much as possible ». Gennari is already looking forward to next autumn. “In our regard there will be even more attention, the competition is great and more and more equipped, but the goal is to win”. –
