CONEGLIANO
Miriam Sylla’s determination, energy and tenacity will be available to Imoco Conegliano for the fourth year. The 26-year-old spiker, born in Palermo and born in Bergamo by adoption, will thus be able to reach a couple of important milestones at the beginning of the new season: the 100 games in the yellow-blue jersey (she misses 2) and the 1,000 points scored by the panther ( is at an altitude of 985), thus definitively entering the ranks of the most representative athletes of the club.
Sylla was also among the protagonists of the long and still uninterrupted winning ride of Conegliano. «All the victories», he says from the blue retreat in Caorle with the national team, «I remember them well, I wouldn’t know how to choose, because they have all been beautiful pages in our history and will always remain in my mind. I don’t think of less beautiful days, because we have almost always won ».
Starting over after the summer with all the trophies on the showcase seems to be more of a stimulus than a burden. «In my opinion, our greatest strength is never being satisfied, always wanting to give and do more. So I see no problem finding the reasons. I am convinced that they still have room to improve, we will strive to do even better and grow even more, also because the opponents will be more aggressive ».
Her arrival in 2018 had announced it herself, as soon as she reached safety with Bergamo, burning the time of the prosecutors and press offices; the personal maturation, which brought her to deserve the rank of captain of Italy, was accompanied by that technique, especially in reception. In this fundamental it has grown, between positive and perfect, from the modest 52% and 30% of the first year to the remarkable 60% and 39% of the last season. And when you feel good on the team, things get even better. «A group has been created with the teammates that has an incredible harmony, but not only within the team, also with the whole environment. From our keeper Gianfry to president Garbellotto, without forgetting our fantastic fans who are always close even in a season like the last. We are a great team where all the gears work beautifully. It is an ideal situation ». Between July and September Sylla will be involved in the Olympics and the European Championships, events still behind closed doors; but with the autumn the public, at least in reduced percentages, will also be able to return to the sports halls, giving a warmer and more colorful setting to the matches.
“I think it will be super exciting. I am sure that the first time we go back to playing with our palace full, the heart will beat fast.” –
