Diatec Trentino has won all the matches of the first part of SuperLega UnipolSai 2016/17, also collecting the victory at Kioene Arena in Padua. The yellow-blue team arrives to the Club World Championship, which will start middle of next week, after a nearly perfect beginning of season (3 victories in 3 days) and with the certainty of a growing physical condition that has been also confirmed by the extremely valuable victory for 3-2 tonight in Padua.

Winning at the Kioene Arena wasn’t an easy job; Diatec Trentino managed to confirm its favorable tradition against Kioene Padova collecting the fifteenth victory in a row thanks to a vacillating but important performance in terms of personality. After all, the team has been able to climb up from 1-2 (sets) and from 4-9 in the fifth set just with heart and determination. Lanza and his team-mates have been able to recover lucidity and incisiveness in the service, winning a tie-breaker that seemed to be already lost. The captain, mvp of the match with 21 points and 2 aces at the end of the fifth set, has been able to secure the 2 points for the league table.

Before coming to the tie-breaker, where the teams constantly used the video-check, Diatec Trentino lost the first set to the advantages, it easily won the second set, but struggled in the third one and then come back in the fourth partial thanks to the right substitutions chosen by the trainer. Van de Voorde and Nelli, instead of Mazzone and Stokr, have contributed to the comeback of Trento together with a steadfast Urnaut and Giannelli who has been lucid for the whole match.
