Diatec Trentino has been stronger than the fatigue, absenteeism but also tradition that had seen it defeat in the previous four championship’s debuts, played away from PalaTrento. With a particularly significant showdown, the Diatec Trentino opens with an important 3-1 at Monza PalaIper its journey in Super League UnipolSai 2015/16. Despite the training problems (Urnaut stayed in Trento, Djuric on the bench for back problems), the Italian champions have in fact got the best results on the field of Gi Group in the recovery of the first round, finding an assertion that discredit the taboo of early statistical predictions, when the team debuts aways.
The three points obtained in Brianza are the best you could ask for at the eve, considering the conditions in which the team manifested in Lombardy. Without any excuses, however, Radostin Stoytchev’s team was able to suffer, played on the field with the right spirit and bring home a success in four sets, which allow them to immediately jump at the top of the rankings along with Latina, Verona and Piacenza. Protagonists of the positive blitz on GI Group’s field, have been faces already known to fans, such as captain Lanza (a certitude with 16 points), Solé (14 with four blocks and 77% at the net) and Giannelli; but also players like Antonov (another excellent performance) and Nelli (MVP of the match with 18 points - best scorer) who did regret holders. A nice confidence boost ahead of a schedule that within seven days will see the Yellow-blues finally engaged at home against Padua and Maaseik.
