Volleyball, playoff: Trento overwhelms Piacenza, semifinal with Civitanova

Trento-Piacenza 3-0 (25-22, 25-19, 25-21)

Itas Trentino will challenge Lube Civitanova in the semi-final championship. The only game-3 of these quarter-finals smiled at Angelo Lorenzetti’s team, which after winning a place in the Champions League final is also confirmed among the four strongest teams in Italy. At the Blm Group Arena he overcomes the obstacle of the Gas Sales Bluenergy Piacenza in three sets, managing to hold the reins of the match for a long time. No news for Lorenzetti who recovers from the first exchange Kaziyski after the right knee problem accused in the Champions League, while at the start Lollo Bernardi places the surprise, with Catania spiker holder diagonally to Russell while Scanferla is free. The first extension is from the hosts, with a double attack from Lavia that is worth 8-4 and Bernardi’s discretionary time-out, but on the return to the field it is always the former hammer of Ravenna and Modena in the chair. Attack and block on Stern for 10-6, with the Emilian opposite that is also printed by Sbertoli before Lavia is still the protagonist (16-12). Ace from Michieletto for 18-12, Rossard inside for Russell and Gas Sales goes up the slope until 19-16 when Lorenzetti stops the hostilities. Lavia again puts the 22-20 ball on the ground, a double dribble foul whistled against Michieletto brings Piacenza back in the wake on 23-22 before Michieletto himself in attack and Stern’s error does not infiocchettino the first partial for the Dolomites . Two walls in a row by Lisinac immediately lights up the second set and, on a score of 5-1, coach Bernardi immediately stops everything. And it is repeated shortly after, with the electronic scoreboard that reads 8-2 in favor of Itas Trentino, with the reception of Gas Sales that tilts like an old Eighties pinball machine on Alessandro Michieletto’s batting turn: 11-2. Brizard tries to change something in the distribution but with poor reception it is complicated (15-8), so the reference point in putting the ball on the ground is Stern (17-10).

trento dictates the law

Trento, however, gives practically nothing, Sbertoli begins to involve Kaziyski more in attack while Lisinac places something like 4 blocks only in this set. But when Trento pushes often and willingly he does so with the batting turns of his Golden Boy: two aces in a row for 19-10. In the final (21-13) Piacenza tries to close the gap (23-18 with Stern’s attack), but Trento doesn’t need to do anything in particular to seal the partial. This leads to a third set in which Trento is still dictating the law: 10-5. The video check gives the point of 12-7 to the Trentino people, as soon as Gas Sales manages to nibble a few points Lorenzetti stops the game but on his return to the field Stern prints Lavia on the wall for 14-12 Itas. Piacenza, managing well some reconstructions, keeps in the wake (19-18 Brizard wall), in the final Michieletto guesses the trajectory in attack while Sbertoli finds the ace of 23-20. Itas makes no mistake, checks and closes by detaching the ticket for the semifinals.
