Pre-season concluded with four sets (1-3) played in Modena: now it’s time for Supercoppa

Itas Trentino finishes its pre-season preparation with a 1-3 loss at the PalaPanini in Modena in the derby of A22 played this afternoon as joint training. The last test before the official debut in the 2020/21 season has given the first unofficial loss of the season (after five wins in five previously played matches), which has offered many useful indications in view of the home match with Civitanova on Sunday, valid as first leg of the semifinal of Del Monte® Supercoppa 2020.
For that appointment, it will be necessary to find greater effectiveness, especially on service, today scored only four times, and on defense, putting greater determination during the important moments of every set. On this point of view, the failure to use Lucarelli and Lisinac (in Modena with the team but kept at rest by Lorenzetti) has definitely affected the result; the double absence was partially put aside by the return to the group of Alessandro Michieletto. The younger left-handed spiker returned this morning from Darfo Boario (where he was training with the national team Juniores) and will remain with the team until Sunday evening to train at best for the big match with Lube. During the test he scored eight times with 50% in the attack, scoring also a block. Thanks to this, the best thing of the training came up, with thirteen team points. The best scorer was the opposite spiker Nimir Abdel-Aziz, scoring sixteen times in two sets with 59% in the attack, two block and an ace; also in double figures the two central Courtesy and Podrascanin, authors of eleven points and three block each.

Below is the match report of the joint training played this afternoon at the PalaPanini in Modena.
