Latina, February 21st, 2016
Diatec Trentino closes in the best way a week marked by two matches away from Trento, scoring also at the Palabianchini of Latina. After the important 3-2 obtained in Belgium on Wednesday, tonight the Italian champions have got the statement even in the field of Ninfa for 3-1 in the match valid for the nineteenth round of Super League regular season UnipolSai 2015/16, gaining three points and proving once again that they can count on a squad at the highest level and full of alternatives.
Despite the prolonged unavailability of two of the three regular hammers of high ball (Lanza and Djuric were required to precautionary rest on this occasion, although they were inserted between the players on the scoresheet), the formation of Stoytchev is in fact able to obtain the entire stake halving the distances (from minus six to minus three) than the second place, now occupied only by Modena, after the same DHL lost at home against Lube in the big match of the day.
Instead on the field instead of the pontine, Diatec Trentino has grasped the ball game in three of the four sets played, risking to win the second one with an incredible comeback (later lost only 23-25) in which the locals were able to give their best moment of the evening. In the first, third and fourth set the Italian champions have legitimized the success exposing once again a high-profile block (13 winning ones tonight, 5 only of Solé) and a correlation with the defense that quickly caused problems to the opponent attackers. Giannelli and teammates have played a good test in attack (51% of the team), relying on the growing condition of the form of Urnaut (ex of duty and deserved MVP of the match with 23 points, 2 blocks, 2 aces and 51% net) and the ability of Nelli (19 points with 44% and 4 blocks) and Antonov (12 with 52%) to enter more and more into the game with each passing minute.
