ENERGY TI Diatec Trentino did workouts in the afternoon today, a day after the first setback in their seasonal at PalaTrento. Yellow-Blues are back preparing for the second leg of the 2015 CEV Cup which will be played Saturday, April 11 at 5pm (Italian time) at the Sport Palace in Moscow.
Regarding the return ‘away’ match of Dinamo, the Trentino Volley must win up to 3-1 if they can compete in the golden set tiebreaker to fifteen (its the only way to win the European trophy), the technical staff has scheduled a session divided into two groups: cool-down and weights for those who participated in the field Tuesday night, enhancing physical and technical-tactical volley for all others. Today's training will be the last, before leaving to Russia, which will take place on Thursday morning and will see Birarelli and company reach its destination at 5pm Moscow time (4pm Italian time) after the bus trip to Venice thereafter a nonstop flight to Moscow.
"Dynamo is a very strong team and was really determined at PalaTrento since they took the field with a great competitive spirit that immediately put us in trouble” - Filippo Lanza said on Radio Dolomiti after the game -. ”Especially in their defense they held a very high level by demonstrating how much they want to win; we tried to put in place all the effort that we had but it was not enough. regardless of the result it was still a beautiful game, I'm glad I played because matches of this type will help us grow. I am convinced that we will fight to the end as we did in this circumstance: the end has two matches and we will have faith till the end. regarding Saturday match, there are many issues on which we can work: on serves and blocks, for example, we were not able sharp enough and in our attacks we made mistakes but I repeat: we can do it."
"Fatigued? In this moment do not think about this because we do not seek an alibi and we are fortunate to be part of this important period” - continued the Venetian hammer  -.” We do not make excuses, we're used to this kind of rhythms and we remain focused on our goal."
