Trento, January 23rd, 2016

The PalaTrento rejects the assault on the third place of Sir Safety Perugia, preserving the historic unbeaten run that has lasted since the day of creation of the Super League (24 straight victories). The anticipation of the fourteenth day of the regular season rewards therefore Diatec Trentino, that with attack and a correlation block-defense once again at high levels, has managed to preserve its valuable position in the standings, increasing their three lengths advantage than Umbria.
The 3-0 imposed this evening in front of over 3,400 spectators showed the steady growth of the condition of the Italian champions, good to confirm the progress already highlighted in the match on Tuesday evening against Thessaloniki and get on top of a game that is always seemed firmly in the hands of landlords, more convinced and more adrenaline in the culmination moments of the match as the finale of the second set and the middle part of the third set. Guided in direction from a particularly inspired Giannelli even in the service, Djuric (still best scorer with 15 points, two blocks and 48% by the net), Lanza and Urnaut were among the main protagonists of a heavy victory not only for the standings but also for the morale. The only three mistakes on offense and on the 9 blocks made (6 only of the middle-blocker pair Solé-Van de Voorde) tell the good quality of game which was played on the field, able to break the resistance of Perugia that has proved to depend too much on Atanasijevic.
The first match in PalaTrento as a former for Birarelli, has reserved to the record-attendance man in yellow-blue jersey, many applause but little satisfaction from the sporting point of view.
