Andrejs Gražulis: ʺI am happy to arrive in Italy, Tortona is a solid and ambitious Clubʺ

Andrejs Gražulis: ʺI am happy to arrive in Italy, Tortona is a solid and ambitious Clubʺ

ʺI am very happy to have signed with Tortona, because from the first contacts we had it seemed like a solid and ambitious Clubʺ: these are the first words of Andrejs Gražulis, first foreigner of the Bertram version 2019/20.

The Latvian then said that he asked his compatriot Kristaps Janicenoks - who played for Capo d'Orlando, Fortitudo Bologna, Teramo and Reyer Venezia - for advice on Italy - who spoke to him about the competitiveness of the championship. ʺThere are several teams that want to win and, in A2, win promotion to Serie A. This aspect – continues the player born in '93 – it was a further stimulus that convinced me to accept Tortonaʺ's proposal.

For Andrejs this will be the first experience in Italy, a country that ʺJanicenoks described it to me as very beautiful on a historical, artistic and cultural level. She told me that I will be happy, Italian food is good and the country is very welcoming.

ʺI can't wait to get to Tortona – concluded Gražulis – and start working. I believe that, with the support of the fans, we can have a good season.".
