Our volleyball players gathered in a truncated band almost exactly a month ago and began preparing for challenges in the international part of the season. Gradually, under Soli’s leadership, they have added players and tried to internalize the new idea of ​​a coach who has led Trentino in the last two seasons, and since next season, 45-year-old Italian expert will be led by Verona, whom he has been playing for several years Rok Mozic.

“I had known him from before, when we used to talk something. He is a great man and also a great coach. In Italy, he has won everything to win yes, the Italian league and the Champions League. He has experience and see that he is also very motivated in the national team, which is also important, as he shows that he did not come and said, ‘I already got the Champions League, now you have to play alone, I am here to have a good name.’, « Mozic said.

He was also a little surprised by his patience. “I have to say that he is still patient. He could ever be a little more angry and nervous in training, given that quality may not be what he expected because he came from Trentin. However, I am glad that throughout the year I will have some insight into it, to see what is done in the national team and what we will do then in Verona, « added the Slovenian receiver.

At the door is the first tournament of the League of Nations, which the selected species is already eagerly awaiting. Although there have been considerable changes after the end of the Olympic cycle, Mozic and the Association are determined to present themselves in the best light.

“Our main goal is to try to be better day by day. Of course, there will be a day when we take a step back, then two onwards.

The question is who will come, what lineups they will be in and who will ever play, because we know that the rhythm is difficult, « added Maribor.

In the end of the national team cycle, the World Cup in the Philippines, which will begin on September 13th. The SP is the main goal of the season and wants to be the best prepared type on it. Of course, a home tournament in the League of Nations has a special charm.

“For me, the main goal is the World Cup, and the League of Nations, as it has been in recent years, will be some kind of play. Our goal must be to raise a level from match to match, to introduce itself as much as possible into a new system. Ideally, they would also come to the Ljubljana League Tournament in good shape and to create an excellent atmosphere in the homeland again, « the concealer added about the goals Tonky.
