26.03.2007 - BITANCOURT NALBERT HAS ARRIVED IN MODENA!

He landed at around 16.10 yesterday afternoon at Bologna airport:  He was smiling and accompanied by his girlfriend Danielle and was welcomed by the managers of Pallavolo Modena, journalists and Cimone Volley fans.  We are talking about Bitancourt Nalbert, the newest purchase for Cimone Volley, who is ready to dive in enthusiastically to the new Cimone Volley adventure: " I am really happy to be in Modena.  I wanted to get back to playing indoor volleyball: In Italy the best volleyball is played and Modena is a really great club.  I know lots about Modena, as I already came here when I played for Macerata, and Ricardinho has spoke about it to me in recent months.  I can't wait to play: physically and technically I'm well, now I only have to get training with the team.  The aims? Modena is a great team and it must aim to win." From today Nalbert will be in the gym with his team mates, available to coach Bruno Bagnoli.  His debut will be next Monday, April 2, when Verona will come to the Palapanini (20.30). In the photo the arrival at the airport: From left to right: Pietro Pela (Delegated Manager of Pallavolo Modena), Catia Pedrini ( Delegated Manager of Pallavolo Modena), Nalbert and his girlfriend Danielle.
