AlessandroMichieletto

Alessandro Michieletto gives Trentino Volley a left-side attacker whose height and reach shape how opponents set their block. At 2.11 m, he can hit over most walls; a 375 cm spike reach lets him attack from awkward positions and still find sharp angles. Rivals try to bend him with deep serves, then close the net early when he shifts to the outside. His value lies in the way that reach compresses a defence, even before the set arrives.

The volleyball outside hitter lines up for Trentino Volley, the club he joined as a teenager, and he also represents Italy. The club uses him on the left; the national team calls on the same skill set. For anyone tracking his profile, those shirts are the constant. His role does not change when the competition does.
