On Thursday match 5 in Perugia will be the 300th one with Trentino Volley for Lanza

The Captain of Trentino Volley Filippo Lanza (ph. Trabalza)

The one that will be played on Thursday April 19th at PalaEvangelisti in Perugia will be a particularly important match for Filippo Lanza. Right during match 5 of Championship Play Offs Unipolsai semi-finals versus Sir Safety Conad Perugia, the yellow-blue number 10 will write another chapter of his fantastic experience with Trentino Volley, which started in September 2006 with his arrival to the Youth Team and is full of many important victories (2 Club World Cups titles, 2 Championship titles, 2 Coppa Italia, 1 Supercoppa Italiana and 1 Junior League).
The spiker born in Zevio (Verona) will in fact obtain in Umbria his 300th presence in official matches with the kit of Trentino Volley. This is an achievement of absolute prestige: Pippo is in fact only the fifth player able to reach this goal, after Birarelli and Colaci (both with 345 presences), Bari (339) and Kaziyski (334) and he is the first one who managed to do this starting from the Youth League. Lanza played half of his matches with the captain band on (only Kaziyski, with 204 matches, played this role more times). The detailed statistics of his overall presences tell about 18 matches played in 2011/2012, 46 in 2012/13, 45 in 2013/14, 47 in 2014/15, 42 in 2015/16, 54 in 2016/17 and 47 during this regular season.
Right during season 2017/18, Pippo became the second-best scorer of the history of Trentino Volley; with his 2868 scored points he has in fact for a long time overcame Juantorena (2662), with only Kaziyski ahead (4945).
