Sbertoli already at work at ilT Quotidiano arena: "I was in a hurry to start again"

The last player to touch the ball last season, he was the first of the national team players to wear the yellow and blue again. Riccardo Sbertoli joined the Itas Trentino men's team, Italian champions, for their first pre-season training session at the ilT Quotidiano Arena today, a few days ahead of his team-mates who will be playing in the Olympic qualifiers until Sunday. The author of the point that gave Trentino Volleyball the fifth Scudetto in its history began his season training in yellow-blue, spending an hour and a half in the ilT quotidiano Arena gym. He will continue to work separately until the end of the week, focusing mainly on strengthening exercises. "I only rested for a few days because I wanted to return to this environment as soon as possible," he explained to the microphone of Trentino Volley Tv. "There is a new group and a new coach to get to know and I did not want to waste any time. I feel at home here and until Monday I will be able to take care of some aspects of the preparation that I might have neglected in the last period. Wearing the technical shirt with the Scudetto on it was a really good feeling and, above all, it reminds me of what we won on the pitch a few months ago. It's an injection of enthusiasm to start the season: I imagine and wish it to be beautiful and intense. I can't wait to get out on the pitch.”
