Trento, 17th of February 2018
The 23rd turn of regular season SuperLega UnipolSai 2017/18 will be played on Sunday 18th of February. On this occasion Diatec Trentino will play its last away match playing at the PalaPanini the 69° derby of the A22 in Azimut’s field. The match starts at 6 p.m. live recording on Radio Dolomiti and live streaming on Lega Volley Channel www.elevensports.it/superlega.
Here Diatec Trentino the yellow-blues come in Moden’s field after fifteen month and they want to turn the page after the match of Wednesday and win so that they can strive for the 4th final place in the classification. “a match like this can be important for two reason–said Angelo Lorenzetti speaking aout the match– the first one is linked to the classification, because there are important points for both the teams; the second one is that this match trains the players for the beginning of the Play Off Scudetto. We must be at our best, the opposite team is strong and can put under preassure. We must be prepared to manage that pressure with the right attitude” The technical for the Marches has to verify only Hoag’s conditions(who in the last days trained separately for a muscular problem of his shoulder ). If the Canadian striker doesn’t recover the trio will be Lanza (there are only two points left for Lanza to become the second striker of the whole society’s history reaching Juantorena with 2.662 points ), Kovacevic and Vettori. Who on this occasion, together with the second trainer Petrella and the scoutman Ciamarra, will take part to the first match as opponent at the PalalPanini. The former players between the two teams are fourteen (8 for Trento, 6 for Modena). On this occasion Trento will play the 747° official match on its history, the 453° in regular season, and will seek for the 519° victory.
The opponents The aim of Azimut Modena is to win in order to keep climbing the classification. In the second round of regular season every team lost in this field; the last team who achieved a success there was Padua in the first round even if last Sunday Vibo Valentia was very close to win. The fact that Modena won at the fifth set is due to the fact that the trainer Stoytchev had to cope with many absences as a matter of fact he doesn’t now which will be the trio on Sunday, also because Earvin Ngapeth’s conditions are not the best one and Urnaut in fourth place, Sabbi e Argenta as opposite. The race or the second place crosses with Lube and Verona.
