If a good beginning bodes well, the relationship between Trentino Volley and Jenia Grebennikov will be particularly great and able to give satisfaction. The presentation of the new French libero of Diatec Trentino, which took place at the premises of Gruppo Polis this morning, showed the ambitions and enthusiasm produced by the arrival of the best libero in the world. The yellow-blue environment has warmly welcomed Grebennikov who was positively surprises at the fact.
Jenia’s words too were tainted with enthusiasm and ambitions, indeed he explained his choice in this way: “I want to thank the Club, the medias and the fans for their welcome: this is the first time that I’ve been introduced in such a gentle way and I’m very happy – affirmed the player from Rennes – . It was very easy to choose to play with Trentino Volley. I wanted to stay in Italy to play in the world’s most beautiful championship together with some of the strongest players and this was the best choice I could make for my career. Trento will aim high. The coach is very good, I’ve heard great things about Lorenzetti from my new teammates, who have already worked with him furthermore, the players of the new first team are all strong. I am happy because I will find there Lisinac, I played against him in the German championship, and Van Garden who was my teammate during the Friedrichshafen period”.
The number on his t-shirt will be 10 the same as the one he had playing with Civitanova Marche: “I am a fan of Zinedine Zidane and I chose that number for this reason; in the Nationals I have to wear number two because number 10 is the number of La Roux" said Grebennikov.
"As Poli Group we are proud at seeing that is a player such as Grebennikov to wear the t-shirt we have sponsored since 2014" said Mauro Poli, Director of General Affairs of the Poli Group.
“This season will be a good one also thanks to our new libero”. “The libero role is not seeing as so important but actually it is essential” said the President Diego Mosna - "I am particularly attached to this role because Diatec Group’ adventure started 20 years ago sponsoring the t-shirt of this player of Volley Mezzolombardo of A2 Series. So I am happy to welcome such a strong player he will be useful both in the field and in the changing rooms".
