Pascolo talks about his life in Milan, a city which he still discovers, as he says: “This is my second year in Milan and I keep discovering new things and appreciating every corner of this city. Having grown up in a town of 800 in the northern region of Friuli and having spent five years in another city, Trento, the change to Milan was a big deal for me, especially because of how fast everything is here.”

He also notes how he is getting back on track after his injury: “Unfortunately, I missed much of the start of this season due to a knee injury and coming back has been a very long process. I’m still recovering, but I’m getting better and better. The desire to be at my best is very strong inside me, but I’ve learned to be patient and to respect what my body is telling me, no matter how long it takes to fully recover.”

“Last week was the first time that we won two games in a week and it actually felt very good even though I couldn’t go to Valencia due to my recovery process. Against both Bamberg and Valencia, our defense was the key to making huge comebacks, taking the lead and winning the game.”
