Trento, March 9th, 2015

The 22nd day of the regular season of Super League UnipolSai, observed the 2nd and final round of rest period for ENERGY TI Diatec Trentino. All direct rivals of the Yellow-blues went to win victories in 4 sets. In this way the distances between the team of Stoytchev, and major rivals have in fact been re-written in terms of points but not regarding individual positions.
As expected, in fact, Modena had it easy in the stadium of Altotevere Citta di Castello, leading by four ahead of Trento (maximum margin between first and second during this season) while team Lube also reduced the gap to less than two thanks to a 3-1 victory at home against team Monza. While Verona (3-1 of Molfetta, slipping back to eighth place thanks to the 3-0 victory of Ravenna of Padua) and Perugia (3-0 in Desio of Milan), securing their positions (fourth and fifth, respectively). La Scala that has yet to rest, and potentially, be bypassed by Umbria at the foot of the podium. From that match to comes team Latina, bent at the tie break from Piacenza (recovering after eight straight losses).
Next Sunday, the ENERGY TI Diatec Trentino will try to win the ‘home’ game against Citta di Castello in Super League, while watching paying attention to the results of Latina-Modena and Perugia-Treia, simultaneously. “In the final stages of the season, I think it is necessary to think more about what we must do and not what they can do - explained the Captain of Trentino Volley Emanuele Birarelli, during the interview with Trentino Volley Tv - . safeguarding the second place that is currently occupied becomes a priority but, for now, our focus is all on the second Round of the Challenge of 2015 CEV Cup, which we will play on Wednesday in Roeselare (after last Mondays double session before leaving for Belgium). Its an  important match to take lightly. After the five sets on Thursday in PalaTrento, we can be confident knowing much more about their playing characteristics: they defend to much, which is why we have to prove that we have more patience to win. The next round is within our reach, but it will not be easy, because we have to find an energitic audience, that has, for so many years, watched superior volleyball and vouched for their team".
