Cavuto and Chiappa summoned by National B: “A great pride and a starting point”

Oreste Cavuto and Matteo Chiappa

Next to those, almost obvious, of Simone Giannelli and Filippo Lanza (players in the blue tour for several years) for the summer season 2018 Trentino Volley has also been able to record the convocations in the national team of Oreste Cavuto and Matteo Chiappa. The 1996 class spiker and the 1993 class yellow-blue libero were selected by the Technical Commissioner Gianlorenzo Blengini to be part of the so-called group B, which from the second half of May will meet to prepare for the presence of the XVIII Mediterranean Games (Tarragona - Spain, 22 June-1 July 2018).
The satisfaction of having seen the great work done throughout the season with the Diatec Trentino recognized is obviously great for both athletes, who arrived in the first team after completing the entire route in the yellow-blue nursery. “To me the joy is double because it is absolutely the first time - explained Matteo Chiappa - ; during the years lived in the Youth Volunteer of Trentino Volley in fact, I had never had the opportunity to wear the blue shirt. I am therefore excited and proud at the same time, because being able to wear these colors even in training will be a very strong feeling. I changed the role from just two and a half seasons, from being a spiker to a libero and it was an obviously lucky choice, even if it was difficult to accept especially in the first period. A fortiori, after this convocation, I am however more and more convinced of the decision I made; in the season just ended I have significantly increased the presence on the field compared to the previous one and all this has certainly contributed to highlight me. Our championship ended up growing and for this reason I consider it absolutely positive".
"I can consider this convocation as a next step with respect to those previously received with the Juniores and Pre-Juniores representatives: a passage that is not taken for granted but to which I was particularly interested - said Oreste Cavuto - ; it's nice to keep receiving attention from the federal coaches and I'm happy that there is also space for Chiappa. Unlike him, during the last season I have had the opportunity to play a few official matches and the Blengini call makes me even more pleased. The National B can be considered a sort of launching pad because usually several players of this group in the following seasons usually pass to the most important one. I am therefore ready to give my best, thanks to the experience gained during the year under the orders of Angelo Lorenzetti. It was an important season anyway, which I hope to repeat again in the future ".
