The Italian champions came back to Trento today in the early afternoon. Shortly before 2.00 pm the Yellow-blues completed the double transfer Forlì-Thessaloniki, which has offered to Trentino Volley the best possible result: two victories of three points, important for the rankings of the respective tournaments (Super League and Champions League). Landed in Monaco of Bavaria in the late morning with a direct flight from Greece, Lanza and his teammates then returned by bus to PalaTrento, meeting again on Friday morning in the weight room.
That will be the time when Trentino Diatec will finally start thinking about the big match of Sunday, November 22nd at PalaTrento (at 6.00 pm) against DHL Modena, who leads the ranking of the championship with two points in advantage over the tricolor.
"The match against the Emilians will inevitably be a very different game from the one played in Thessaloniki on Wednesday evening, although it was important to test our ability to react to difficulties in such a hot environment” - said the middle-blocker Daniele Mazzone, protagonist of an entrance in the middle of the third set of the match against PAOK, which then was decisive to win. -”Modena is a team that plays in a different way because it can count on even better individualities; but this time will be on our home advantage and I am sure that we will find further impetus by the support of our fans. I expect a long match, maybe again decisive at the tie-break as we did a month ago in the Italian Super Cup. The information gathered in Greece have been a lot and positive, we did well to stay calm between the second and third part where everything was objectively very difficult, especially in attack. When we switched gears in this fundamental everything became easier as has shown the clear statement in the fourth set.”
"Perhaps for many players of this squad, to compete a match of the CEV Champions League in a building so hot it was not a big thing and then did not offer particular emotions, but for me it was not so because before I had the opportunity to play in a context of this kind only few times”- reveals Mazzone, place 3 and with Piedmont origins, born in 1992. -”I am therefore pleased to be able to provide a useful contribution to the cause and at the same time I'm glad to see how Stoytchev takes the most of me often when things get tough. It’s a beautiful demonstration of trust, which pays for the work done over the first three months of Trentino experience. Since the beginning of the preparation, the technical staff has always had an eye on me, made me improve a lot by changing my way of being in technical and tactical field. I believe you can already start seeing the first good results at the block and I think I can grow much more in attack. My enthusiasm, determination and energy are all at the team service. I'm glad to be part of this group."
The presale tickets for Sunday appointment, on November 22th against Modena will continue until Friday at 6.00 pm at the Trentino Volley Point, the entire day of Saturday at Promoevent in Via Suffragio in Trento and at any time on internet by typing www.vivaticket.it.
