The Eurosuole Forum of Civitanova Marche rejects for the sixth time the attempted assault of Trentino Diatec, this time in the European field. Tonight the yellow-blues were defeated by the owners of Cucine Lube for 1-3 in the going match of the Playoffs 6 of 2018 CEV Champions League, then postponing at least the next time the first success in the Marche plant. The ko in four sets will force Angelo Lorenzetti's team to work overtime in the return match, scheduled in seven days at the BLM Group Arena, to try to win the qualification for the Kazan Final Four on May 12-13. In fact, Lanza and his teammates will be able to win a maximum of four matches and then the success in the next golden set to break the ticket for the continental tournament in Russia. Cucine Lube has built his advantage by playing a concrete game, but that often offered the chance for the guests to arrive at least at the tie break, a result that would have been very important in view of the return match. Without Vettori, out at the last moment for a resentment to the back, but well replaced by Teppan (17 points with 54%, a block and an ace), the yellow-blues fought for long strings at par, yielding sharply only the third set. In the fourth part, the occasion to impact again the calculation of the fractions, as had happened after the second period, has vanished only at the advantages and at the hands of the former of Juantorena. Among the ranks of the convincing Trentino Diatec the test of Captain Lanza (best scorer with 18 winning balls) and that of Giannelli, scored with five personal blocks.
