April 17 – 23:07 – Trento

For the tenth time the Itas Trentino will go to play the games that are worth the tricolor. First an Easter at home, waiting to see how the other semifinal between Perugia and Civitanova Marche will end, then from 27 April the team of Coach Fabio Solo will hunt for the sixth Italian title of his history. From tonight in a daily Arena Arena fully exhausted for the occasion, the Ostacle Gas Sales Piacenza in the semifinal was definitively overcome: 3-1 at the foot of the Dolomites and series of semifinals won in three races. After two games resolved in the fifth set, always for the benefit of Italian, the Emilians of Travica struggle but in the long run they are overwhelmed by a team – Trento – dragged by a sumptuous Michieletto and a burn in the control room on star levels. In addition to a team defense and counterattack on very high levels, capable of wetting dust to the attack of the Sales gas. A Piacenza who will now, from April 29, to play Finalina for the third final place against the loser of Perugia against Civitanova Marche, a goal that is worth at least the qualification for the next edition of the Champions League.

ITAS Trentino-Gas Sales Piacenza 3-1 (25-21, 22-25, 25-19, 25-18)

At the start, the sextetti are those expected on the eve, with the Emilians who line up the Loreti Carta Libero instead of Scanferla. After a very good start of the guests (5-8) Coach Fabio Solo decides to stop operations when with Mandiraci (10-14) guests reach maximum advantage. A couple of errors of the hosts allow Piacenza to lengthen (11-16) but when the partial seemed compromised, the turn in Lavia’s joke with the attacks of Rychlicki, Michieletto and Kozamernik is reported below (15-16). Lavia is also the author of the mini escape, on 20-18, who allows his to take that break of margin that is enough to go to close the partial. In the second part Itas and Gas Sales are placed a couple of lengthens and counter -rounds with each other, alternating excellent things with some avoidable mistakes. On the 14th the ACE of Romanò allows the Emilians to put the nose out, the joke is the fundamental to which Piacenza attacks at this juncture: 15-17 with Maar’s winning joke. Trento also crashes into the wall of the Sales gas, so much so that on 15-18 alone the game, the double change in the Trento house does not have the hoped for effects and the guests remain on three lengths (17-20). Simon lengthens the strip of the walls of Piacenza in this set by printing Lavia for 17-22, but Michieletto (20-22) is alive to keep the Trentino hopes that obliges Travic to spend his first time-out. In the end, however, the Sales gas does not give anything and thus seals the set that is worth equality.

Trento in the final

Still with a winning joke Piacenza baptizes the third partial, but Trento always remains there (5-5). On the 7th of the tile for the Sales gas: exulting the right knee of Loreti makes a strange movement and the boy comes out supported by the arm, Scanferla returns to the field. The balance reigns to the winning diagonal of Alessandro Michieletto (15-13), which few exchanges after the square also on Scanferla the ACE of 17-14. Travica stops the game twice in a few exchanges but the rhythm of Trento is hard to keep it: 21-18 for the Dolomites with the pair Sbertoli-Kozarnik in the chair. The Itas closes and carries out in the third set, then embracing a fourth partial in which the hosts immediately left cannon: 8-1 with a warning to Brizard for suddenly asked for the video check by removing the lower edge of the net. Michieletto touches a point to see and reviewed on YouTube but who arrives after a ball saved in a non-regulated way by his companions, Brizard does ace but Trento still finds two other walls that make it difficult for Piacenza to find a rhythm in attack (6-12). Inside Bovolenta for Romanò and Andringa in place-4 for Maar but the guests (7-15) make a monstrous effort to keep up with the Dolomites in terms of fluidity in the construction of their attack. Not to mention the defense: Laurenzano and associates are in a vacuum cleaner version (8-16) and Sbertoli reconstructs with great effectiveness. When the scoreboard recites 19-13 Bovolenta is wrong and gives another punticino to the hosts, Simon tries to keep (22-17) in the wake of his but now the game is marked. So much so that Rychlicki closes and can start the party of the hosts.

Trento: Michieletto 24 points, Rychlicki 18 and Flavio 17; Muri Team 9 (3 Flavio, 3 Kozamernik, 2 Michieletto, 1 Rychlicki); Team 6 (5 Michieletto, 1 Rychlicki).

Piacenza: Romanò 15, Simon 10 and Mandiraci 10; Muri Team 3 (1 Brizard, 1 Galassi and 1 Simon); Team ACE 7 (4 Brizard, 1 Romanò, 1 Maar and 1 Andringa).
