A hundred hours after the Final Del Monte^® Italian Cup of Assago, Diatec Trentino plays in PalaPanini a stellar performance by imposing the first home stop to DHL Modena in the postponement of the seventeenth round of the Super League UnipolSai 2015/16.
The desire for redemption after the colorless performance at the Mediolanum Forum right against the same opponents, the need to score points and more than four thousand spectators present in the Emilian facility, have been an extraordinary engine for the Italian champions, who at once have found the verve of the best days signing a 3-2 success that means so much from all points of view.
The two points obtained tonight in fact, push the tricolor again +5 over Perugia and six points from the first place, now occupied in cohabitation with Modena and Lube. To force the second knockout in the league for the hosts, was necessary a test of character and determination, but also the technical and tactical, as the only three blocks scored by the Emilian and the difficulties manifested in attack by the Yellows. The result of a great job between the block and defense and in direction by Giannelli, who was able to offer only few reference points to the opponents and to block in turn with a marvelous continuity (5 blocks). Mitar Djuric finished the good performance of the team, although it played without Lanza (well replaced by Antonov): the Greek opposite mark dizzying percentages in attack (61%) and 28 personal points that have gradually taken away certainties from the opponents. Among the Italian champions, also Urnaut (very constant in all the fundamental) and the libero Colaci played very good.
