Pietro Maschio, co-president and market-man of Prosecco DOC A.Carraro Imoco Volley a week before the Final Four of the Italian Cup relaunches the ambitions of the Panthers, with an eye to the future
“We are entering the hot phase of the season and as always we are surrounded by market rumors about our champions bouncing around the world and risking distracting the team and the environment just when we need to keep the focus on our goals. In this regard, contrary to our habits, I feel like intervening to dispel doubts and be able to look back on these important months with serenity.
The fact that our coach or many of our athletes are requested and courted by the most prestigious teams in international volleyball, on the one hand is a source of pride because it means that among so many “top” offers these champions have decided to marry our reality and our values, on the other hand, however, it can represent a distraction. Over the years we have created a strong and winning group, made up of an extraordinary staff and players from all points of view, a group that is In which we blindly believe that it has already given us great satisfaction, I am sure that in the name of continuity the future will also be on our side.”
“One of the most “talked-about” players is our Swedish star Isabelle Haak, an amazing player and person who I can officially announce will also be with us in the upcoming 2026/27 season! And this is just the beginning because in the next week, before leaving for Turin, we will also make other communications of confirmations in the squad, it is not the case to continue chasing or denying all the “rumors” that punctually proliferate, especially on the eve of major events.”
“The team of coach Santarelli, which has been with us for many years and will also be in the future as already confirmed recently, now has an important event in front of it such as the Italian Cup that we will play on a fantastic stage such as the Turin sports hall, for me the most beautiful and fascinating facility that there is today in Italy; we go to Turin with the same ambitions as always, to give entertainment and emotions to all volleyball fans and try to bring home our first trophy of this season, then we will face the playoffs of the Championship and Champions League where we will be in the front line to defend the titles won in the incredible last season. You can’t win all the time, it’s in the nature of sport, the opponents are always stronger and fiercer and every year is different from the previous one, but we will try, always.”
ISABELLE HAAK WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR STATEMENTS AND INTERVIEWS ON HER STAY AT PROSECCO DOC IMOCO VOLLEY TOMORROW AT THE PALAVERDE IN THE PRESS CONFERENCE AFTER THE CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH AGAINST BERGAMO
