Why did you choose Italy and especially Tuscania Volley?

“Everyone knows that the Italian volleyball school is one of the best in the world. I had the pleasure of collaborating with coaches like Roberto Piazza or Lorenzo Bernardi. I’m still young and I know I must learn a lot. I was looking for a club that could give me the chance to play and become a better player. I have heard very well about Tuscania from one of my friends, Bartlomiej Lipinski, who has played in Italy: he told me that it is a truly professional club and aims for the highest goals. I also love to play under pressure and I want to get something great next season.”

Tuscania Volley is a very special reality: for some seasons it is among the undisputed protagonists of the Serie A despite being a small town where, however, you can work peacefully. A definitely new environment for you. What do you expect to find?

“I would really like to live in a small town like Tuscania. I love nature and beautiful landscapes. I know I will not have many free moments, but in every of them I would like to be close to nature, to regain strength and concentration. Last season I lived in the small town of Nafels, it was one of the best moments of my life. I hope that spend in Tuscania will be even grater”.

 

Do you know the Bolgia? They are very special and warm supporters.

“Konrad is a young player with good technical qualities – says coach Bruno Morganti -. Observing many of his matches I have noticed that he is a balanced player with good playing skills despite not being very old. It is volitional, determined, a good fighter in the field and I think he can give a big contribution to our new team. I am glad he is here”.
