PVL 2022: I have good expectations from our side – Chennai Blitz’s Bruno da Silva

Chennai Blitz’s attacker Bruno da Silva is looking forward to plying his trade in the ongoing Prime Volleyball League 2022.

The Brazilian has good expectations from the team as he believes that they have a team to go all the way in the league.

Each of the seven PVL teams has two foreign players in their team to enhance quality. Silva revealed he and Fernando Gonzalez have felt at home as Chennai Blitz has been really welcoming to them.

“I am feeling great,” he said. “The Chennai Blitz team has been very welcoming towards Fernando Gonzalez and myself. I have good expectations from our side because I know that we have a really good team. It’s been a very exciting time for us and it’s been really good to play with the boys and to hang out with.”

Bruno da Silva, who hails from Brazil, revealed how he picked up the sport. Silva used to play football in his early days but an interesting set of events led to his love to play Volleyball.

“Football is the major sport in Brazil. I used to play football for a B club. Unfortunately, I had to stop playing football as my parents had to move to a place which didn’t have a football team.

“Then one day, I went to watch my cousin practice volleyball with her club team and they had a player missing, so they asked me to play,” he recalled. “The coach of that team motivated me to start playing volleyball professionally. He told me that I could get anything in life if I put in the time and worked hard.”

Silva added that he stays in the USA and plays club tournaments all across the globe.

“I started playing beach and indoor volleyball when I was 16 years old,” he said. “I have traveled around the world to play. I met my wife in Switzerland in 2009 and I moved to the United States of America in 2011. I am based in the US now and I play in club tournaments (beach and indoor volleyball) around the world.”

Meanwhile, Chennai Blitz got off to a losing start as Ahmedabad Defenders defeated them by 15-13, 15-11, 11-15, 15-13, 11-15. Chennai Blitz will next face Kolkata Thunderbolts on Friday.
