A1 F – Mariam Marchetti at Cosma Vela Ancona
Cosma Vela Ancona strengthens its team with the addition of twenty-year-old Mariam Marchetti, a defender born in 2004. Marchetti was born in Brescia and grew up in the ranks of An Brescia, then experiences in Verona and then Bologna where she played in the last two years. In the national team she participated in a European Under 15 Championship, a European Under 17 Championship and a World Under 18 Championship. Her favorite role is that of center marker, but she is able to cover multiple roles, including that of center forward, she is 183 centimeters tall and is ready to bring her contribution to the Cosma cause. After the arrival of the Hungarian Lili Frater and the return home of Sofia Mancinelli, here is Mariam Marchetti who will join her teammates in the next few days. "I am very happy to have been called by Vela Ancona - these are the first words of Marchetti who will arrive tomorrow in Ancona - and I thank the club for the trust they have in me. For me it will be a challenge, a new adventure and I can't wait to start with my new teammates". Here is how she describes herself: "Generally I am the center marker but especially last year in Bologna I played a bit everywhere, especially as a center forward and if needed also as an outside player, I am a bit of a universal player. And of course I am available to Milko and the needs of the team". "One of my first choices was Mariam - explains coach Milko PAce -, it was a long negotiation, a versatile player who has already played in A1 championships, we needed an experienced player and she has it, I think she can do well and even if she arrives two weeks late on the team's work this will not prevent her from being useful to the team from the first matches". Cosma Vela Ancona will begin the official season with the Coppa Italia that the team will play in Catania together with Catania, Trieste, Rapallo and Cosenza from 11 to 13 October. Championship starting next week.
