Civitanova Marche (Macerata), March 1st 2015

The indoor stadium of Civitanova Marche, new home of the team Lube, and its more than 4,200 spectators have been able to reject the first attempt to assault by ENERGY TI Diatec Trentino, only after five sets and over two hours of play. In fact this afternoon, the yellow-blue team has been defeated at the tie break in the big match of the twenty-first round of Super League UnipolSai regular season against Treia and at the same time the team has lost the lead in the standings. In this way Modena took over (victorious at home against Ravenna and now they are one point ahead), exactly on the eve of the yellow-blue turn of rest. The third seasonal stop in the league still does not affect the good that Birarelli and teammate have done so far during the league; the valuable point which they have gained, will enable them to keep a safe distance from Lube, even after observing the turn off in the regular season next weekend.
The trip to Marche can be archived positively because during the match, Stoytchev’s team has demonstrated that they are on top of the ranking not arbitraril. Indeed, thanks to a tremendous willpower and the ability to adapt to various situations created by the match, the yellow-blues were able to move forward twice, winning the first and third part before undergoing the comeback of the hosts, led by Fei (on the field since the first set instead of Sabbi and MVP with 21 points and 57% at the net) and Podrascanin.
During the match the Bulgarian coach has alternated several players finding good answers especially by Giannelli, who was permanent regular from half of the second partial and the author of an effective test in the directing room instead of Zygadlo, and Nelli (4 points). In the most difficult moment, the young diagonally setter-opposite wasn’t afraid, but still leaning on their ideas, in long game Trento had to bow to Kurek’s effectiveness at the net and to the placed attackers Kaziyski and Lanza (however decisive in the two won sets). The best scorer of ENERGY TI Diatec Trentino has been the opposite Martin Nemec with 18 points (including 3-at the block and one serving) and author of an almost perfect test in the first three set.
