The market sets aside another big success: here is Marko Podrascanin!

The market's summer session sets aside another big success for Trentino Volley; after the arrivals of Dick Kooy, Salvatore Rossini and Nimir Abdel-Aziz, the team of Via Trener can greet in its roster also Marko Podrascanin. The Serbian middle hitter, 33 years old at the end of August, signed a two-year contract and he will compose with the compatriot Lisinac one of the strongest duo, in which to the centimetres and to the strength will be added, perfectly, also the technique and the talent.
For at least a decade, Podrascanin is one of the best international player in his role, as can be seen from his extraordinary palmares and from his statistics in the Italian championship, always lived as a protagonist; just consider that in the last six seasons none of the players realized more winning blocks than he did in the SuperLeague: 510 in 232 matches. To the ability to read the opponent game with excellent advance, the player of Novi Sad adds always a thin service and a high capacity for realization: all of these qualities make he one of the most determinant player of the Italian championship.
''Marko Podrascanin is another important operation of our market, this confirms how Trentino Volley wants to be competitive in the next season - commented the President Diego Mosna - ; with him we have one of the best players in the world in his role. I'm convinced that his experience and his deep knowledge of the Italian championship may be an added value for our shortlist. With Lisinac he will be an excellent middle hitter who has been able to help the Serbian national team to win. We want it to be the same for Trentino Volley, especially considering that he can also perform in the CEV Champions League''.
Podrascanin is the eight Serbian player of Trentino Volley's history that will play as a middle hitter after Mester, Vusurovic and Lisinac. He will have the number 18 as already happened with Macerata, Civitanova and Perugia, and in the next days he will join the group in order to start the preparation.
