Volleyball: New Perugia attacker Yuki Ishikawa looking for titles

Yuki Ishikawa, the captain of Japan's men's volleyball team, is set to begin the season with Italian powerhouse Perugia on Sunday, focusing solely on winning titles with his new club.

During an online press conference on Wednesday, the 28-year-old outside hitter expressed his excitement about the high level of daily practice, saying, "I've been inspired. My sights are firmly set on winning the Italian domestic league, the cup, and the European Champions League.

Reflecting on his recent experience at the Paris Olympics, where Japan faced the 2022 world champions Italy in a tough quarterfinal match despite winning the first two sets, Ishikawa stated, "It's crucial for me to prepare for the next Olympics. I aim to develop both my skills and mental toughness."
