Lorenzetti: “Qualifying for Champions League is crucial for the future”

“We really wanted to gain access to the next CEV Champions League: this goal comes from the continuity of our performance throughout the regular season - explained Trentino Volley’s coach Angelo Lorenzetti at “RTTR Volley”, tv partner RTTR magazine - . “Having to challenge two great teams like Perugia and Civitanova we knew this result would only derive from a good placing in the SuperLega rank; we did so, even if we had to wait until the tie-break set of match 5 of the Semifinal series between Sir Safety Conad and Azimut Leo Shoes. Also from a future point of view, this qualification is worth very much; we will be able to plan next season better, work more and improve our style”.
“The harmony we built between the players and the staff, that’s what made the difference during the season - continued the coach - . The Club World Championship was an important moment, when the players realized that was the right chance to step up their game and improve even more. That victory gave us confidence for the following weeks; the boys made the most out of the technical and tactical freedom we gave them. That was our most important moment of the season but it wasn’t enough to beat the best two teams for the Play Off Finals. If we want to beat Civitanova or Perugia we must do something more, the Play Offs taught us that, we accomplished a lot but not enough. We should have taken more risks in the daily routine, not only on match day. Codarin was a nice surprise, but he himself built his game since last May, when he joined us and started working towards our goals. During the season all the players were equally useful; think of Van Garderen or Nelli, both decisive. Trentino Volley has long since opened a new path, building competitive rosters with young players who can improve coming from the youth team. Under this point of view I think the Under 20 team that plays the Serie B will be delivering great players for the team in the next three years”.
“In the following weeks we will look back on what we accomplished and assert our performance; luckily I will be sharing these moments with President Mosna and GM Da Re - finished Lorenzetti - . We have many players still under contract and we want to continue the work we started this season, with an open eye on the transfer market that will evolve day after day”.
