Fabio Soli analyses the new Itas Trentino: "Valid, tight-knit, solid and physical"

The official closure of the Volleyball Market is still a few days away (Wednesday, 17 July), but Itas Trentino’s roster for the 2024/25 season is in fact already completed. Negotiations in the summer session will deliver a team with a few new faces (six out of fourteen total players) in the hands of coach Fabio Soli in August, but one that will also have a number of certainties.
“The many confirmations compared to last season's roster, eight in total, show that this group is valid and deserves trust - explained the European champion coach at the microphone of Trentino Volley Tv - . The Club has often operated in this way in the past, having the foresight to choose well the core of players with whom to carry out its projects. While the starting sextet will vary in only one element, we have made a few more changes to the rest of the roster, but I am convinced that the additions made can guarantee us quality and physical freshness, since we are only talking about young athletes. Having four players in the Italian National Team that will play the Olympics, and already knowing the environment and the team well will be an advantage for me, especially in the first months of the championship. We will definitely be more close-knit and we will be able to start from a stronger and more solid base”.
“We will start training very early compared to the recent past - Soli continued - ; we will be in the gym from the first of August, and it was an inevitable choice given that the new season will start a month earlier than the previous one. On the weekend of 21 and 22 September we will already be playing the Supercoppa Final Four, so we will have to work hard right away to get those who did not play with the national teams during the summer into condition. At the end of August, we will also have with us the athletes returning from the Olympics and this means that there will be about three weeks of preparation with the whole team. A situation that happens very rarely in the world of volleyball and that we must take full advantage of”.
