Trento, April 7th, 2015

Dinamo Moscow secures the first round of the 2015 CEV Cup Final in four sets conquering the PalaTrento. The yellow-blues persistence, who has withstood many matches since April 13th  2014, couldn't endure the force of the Russian team. They are a physically strong team with excellent blocks-defense tactic that drove the first KO of the ENERGY TI Diatec Trentino season.
If the Yellow-blues want to continue the opportunity to place a fourth European trophy on their wall for its history (possibly the eighth International) they will have to make a real leap in the return match next Saturday in Russia: winning four sets at most in the regular match at the Sport Palace in Moscow and for the next golden September which is a difficult task, especially watching the hosts train tonight on Mondoflex of Trentino Volley: aided by the huge Kruglov (eventually 26 points with 61% in the network, two blocks and an ace), the Russians resisted the attempt to charge the hosts between the second and third part, containing fine strikes of the ball and forcing errors from the opponents. During break Biryukov also gave a big hand to the Marichev team. For ENERGY TI Diatec Trentino excellent plays by Kaziyski and Nemec (respectively at 18 and 15 points) and that of Solè with 5 blocks and Birarelli’s first half (64%), their collective effort was not enough to claim a tie-break in the fourth set 17-15 at the beautiful PalaTrento, which had well over over 3,250 spectators.
