Trento, February 29th, 2016
The home defeat (the third seasonal one after the knockout at tie break remedied with Molfetta and Ravenna) against Calzedonia Verona on Sunday night forced Diatec Trentino to permanently store the dream to reach the second place in the standings of UnipolSai Super League 2015/16.
The final position of the Italian champions in the regular season that will end on Sunday, March 6th with the trip to Civitanova Marche will then definitely be the third one, behind the same Lube (winner of the regular season with an anticipated round) and Modena (second thanks to a victory in four sets in Forlì). The speech concerning the championship is over, and now the team of Radostin Stoytchev can get back to focus on the European path; on Thursday, March 3rd from 8.30 pm in PalaTrento will be played the second leg of the Playoffs 12 2016 DenizBank Volleyball Champions League match against Volley Asse-Lennik. The success of February 17th in Belgium offers a small but important advantage to the home team, which will be enough to win the race with any score to get back - after two years after the last time - among the best seven teams of Europe. Get the pass for the Playoffs 6 (last two races’ round before the Final Four on April 16th and 17th in Krakow) and face the winner of the Belgorod-Tours comparison (the Russian are forward thanks to the 3-0 in France during the first leg) however will not be easy for a team that right now has to play without two important players such as Lanza and Djuric and at the same time facing an opponent who already during the first leg had been able to play hard, putting its game’s maneuver on the opposite lefty Dutch Overbeeke (50 of 131 balloons attached to Maaseik from Lennik had been within his competence). Moreover in Italy, the Belgians will come with a dual desire to ransom since Saturday night the Roeselare, second of the class, has given them their first knockout ever in the league after sixteen consecutive victories returning at least three points from the top.
Diatec Trentino vs. Volley-Axis- Lennik is a race included in your 2015/16 season subscription; for those without, the pre-sales tickets are already active at the Trentino Volley Point in via Trener and at PromoEvent in Via Suffragio n. 10 in Trento, or directly on the Internet http://www.vivaticket.it/index.php?nvpg[evento]&id_show=81747.
