Russell conquers yellow-blue fans: “Immediately at ease in this team”

48 points scored in the first three matches, with 64% efficiency in attack (i.e. 44 winning spikes on 68 attacks): Aaron Russell didn’t wait long before introducing himself to his new fans.
The american spiker arrived this summer from Perugia, after winning the italian treble, and he’s already become one of the pillar on which 2018/2019 Itas Trentino will build its season. During the match on Sunday night, three thousand Yellow-blue supporters had the chance to admire him in the first match of the 2018/2019 SuperLega Credem Banca.
“Beyond the result, which was very positive, it’s been a great way of making my debut with Trento - explained Aaron to RTTR during the post match interview - ; my teammates made me feel at ease and helped with the reception phase, the fundamental with which I struggle the most. I am happy because everyone contributed to the victory and this give us morale and a good start in the rank. Siena is a team with a very competitive setter-opposite diagonal, I’m sure they will be a tough opponent in the future matches”.
“We still have so much to do but I’m confident, after the first week of training with the full roster we are already creating the right feeling - he went on - . With Giannelli we’re building our mutual understanding at the net and in the three man reception we work to keep the quality high. Lorenzetti often gives us very useful advice, before the next match we have five training days left and we will work hard”.
The team will train again on Tuesday evening in the weight room at BLM Group Arena, in preparation of the match of Sunday night against Globo Banca Popolare del Frusinate Sora, in Veroli (Frosinone).
