Allianz Milano-Itas Trentino 3-0, the match report

The match report. Angelo Lorenzetti proposes again, after more than two months, Dick Kooy in the starting six, making him a spiker with Lucarelli; the others are Giannelli as setter, Nimir as opposite spiker, Podrascanin and Lisinac as middle blockers, Rossini libero. On this occasion, Allianz Milano coached by Roberto Piazza has Sbertoli as setter, Patry as opposite spiker, Urnaut and Ishikawa as spikers, Piano and Kozamernik as middle blockers, Pesaresi libero. The start is balanced (3-3, 6-6), with the two formations that offer immediately some good exchange. Nimir tries, paired with Kooy, to make an advantage (13-11), but the block of Piano and the ace of Kozamernik overturn immediately the score (13-14). The consistency of the Lombards in the breakpoint phase allows the hosts to widen the gap with Ishikawa (15-18, time out of Lorenzetti). Giannelli tries to close the gap with an ace (17-19), then Nimir takes Itas Trentino to minus one with another ace (22-23). The final of the set, after the time out of Piazza, is all in favour of the Milaneses; it’s a block of Patry on Kooy (the second personal) to make the teams go to the change of field on 0-1 (22-25).
Allianz Milano begins well with Urnaut and Ishikawa the second partial (4-7), also because Trento isn’t variable in the change ball phase. The time out of Lorenzetti doesn’t s make any effect, because then Urnaut and Ishikawa widen the gap (4-9 and 8-13). In the second part of the period, the gialloblù coach changes Rossini with De Angelis and Kooy with Michieletto; the team needs some minutes to find the right dynamics (14-19), but then in the final did better. Nimir does great in attack and from the line of the nine meters, Michieletto blocks Patry, and the gialloblù team arrives incredibly at minus one (from 18-22 to 22-23). In the best part, the service errors of the opposite spiker and the left-handed spiker consign to the locals the 2-0 (22-25).
In the third set, Milano starts with aggressivity for the win by 3-0 (5-8 and then 6-10), but Trento tries to make a comeback with Nimir (14-16) and the ideas of Podrascanin. On the best moment, Allianz makes a comeback (14-19) with Piano and Urnaut. Itas Trentino scores again until minus three (18-21), before definitely giving up under the blows of Kozamernik and Patry (22-25).
