After four consecutive defeats in the championship, Vero Volley finds redemption against the Turks and maintains its unbeaten record in Europe
In difficulty in the Super League, but always winning in Europe. Monza returns to success, beating Fenerbahce 3-1 on the fourth day of the Champions League group stage. After the knockout with Grottazzolina comes the response from Beretta and his companions, undoubtedly of character, just enough to tame the Turks, maintain their European unbeaten record and bring them closer to the next round, now one step away. MVP is Szwarc (25 points with 71%), who wins a good match with the other opposite Luburic (24).
MONZA-FENERBAHCE 3-1 (25-23, 25-21, 23-25, 25-20)
—
Eccheli (without Lawani, in France for shoulder rehabilitation) starts with Kreling as director opposite Szwarc, Rohrs (returning as starter) and Zaytsev in the squad, Averill and Beretta as central defenders with Gaggini as libero. Kovac responds with Drzyzga and Luburic diagonally, Karyagin and Gulmezoglu spikers Baltaci and Durmaz in the center with Dengin free. Monza starts like someone who knows they have something to make up for, and Zaytsev tries to take the team on his shoulders. But Drzyzga pushes and the ex-Karyagin and Luburic respond, so Fener keeps ahead by just a little. An outburst from Rohrs (3 points in a row) gives rise to a break (7-1 from 14-16) which changes the momentum. Great block from Averill after a long exchange with great local defense, and Mint controls and closes 25-23, with Zaytsev at 6.
question and answer

The Turks try to respond, but the attack is too unbalanced on Luburic, while Monza varies more. From 18 all, 3-0 with Zaytsev’s block and attack and Szwarc’s diagonal which was worth the decisive escape towards 2-0 (25-21), and a more confident Mint in attack and solid in defense (and the opposite Canadian protagonist with 6 points in 8 attacks). The locals are flying 6-2, and the match seems to be going downhill, but a turn at serve by the usual Luburic results in a 0-6 (with 3 aces) which reopens the games. Monza defends a lot but is imprecise, and Fenerbahce forces the serve effectively. The intensity increases, but the Turks win the final point after point thanks to Luburic (23-25, 9 in the set) and the home team’s brilliant reception. But Szwarc is always very hot, and there are 4 of his points (also 1 block and 1 ace) in the 7-3 that opens the fourth quarter. The guests do not find the same effectiveness of the service of the previous set, so Monza reaches 18-13, but Luburic again shortens from 9 meters (18-17). Mint holds their nerve and an ace from Szwarc closes 25-20 and 3-1.
Monza: Szwarc 25 points, Muri team 9, Ace team 6 (Szwarc 3).
Fenerbahce: Luburic 24 points, Muri team 6 (Baltaci 4), Ace team 6 (Luburic 3).
