Itas Trentino-Vero Volley Monza 3-0, the report of the match

The chronicle of the match. For the home debut, Angelo Lorenzetti proposes initially Kovacevic at rest (who came back from Sofia Saturday morning), Giannelli setter, Vettori opposite spiker, Russell and Cebulj in attack, Lisinac and Candellaro middle blockers, Grebennikov libero. The coach of Monza Fabio Soli proposes the formation without Orduna (disqualified), Calligaro setter, Kurek opposite spiker, Louati and Dzavoronok hitter spiker, Beretta and Yosifov middle blockers, Goi libero. The start of the first set is balanced, although the hosts try to make the difference immediately by forcing the service (6-4 but then immediately 7-7). Monza makes the most of Kurek, who with attacks in series keeps the score balanced (12-12) and then makes the overtaking by the hand of Louati (13-14). Russell, with a block on Dzavoronok and a reconstructed one, turns the situation upside down again (19-17), then Vettori takes action (20-17, 23-19); situation that allows Trento to go without too much trouble to the change of field on 1-0 (25-20).
The Itas Trentino started well also in the second partial; in this case, Cebulj's services and Russell's attacks inspired the win (6-2, 9-5). The Vero Volley gets nervous and lose lucidity, allowing to the hosts to fly on +7 (12-5) also because of some direct mistakes of the strikers. Even before the second half of the set, Soli has already exhausted all the time-out and has made some changes that does not change the sense of the match – firmly in the hands of Trentino Volley (16-7, 18-9, 21-12). The 2-0 already comes on 25-16, without no reactions from the guests.
The match returns balanced in the third set, with the Vero Volley that restarts in the process of side out (4-4) and with the block of Kurek regains the lead (7,8 Lorenzetti’s time out). The Polish outside hotter passes with regularity, but Trento accept the challenge and reply blow for blow (12-12); at the time when Cebulj stops him, the Trentino Volley run away (16-14). The guests still have energies to replicate until the end (19-19), then they get back up under the blows of the Slovenian (23-20 and 25-21).
