Itas Trentino on fire: 3-1 on Cucine Lube gives the first place in the ranking

Itas Trentino continues to give important satisfactions at the start of the season 2021/22. After having collected all the stakes in the first two rounds of regular season and won the Super Cup 2021, this evening the yellow-blue formation has further confirmed its excellent initial physical condition, winning the big match of the third round of SuperLega Credem Banca played against Cucine Lube Civitanova.
The Champion of Italy, which had important absences like the ones of Zaytsev, Juantorena, and De Cecco (in the bench to make room for Sottile, considering the necessity to line up at least three Italians on the field), has surrendered in four sets at the BLM Group Arena, leaving all the stakes to the hosts, which can continue their run in the ranking in the first place (thanks also to the round of rest of Perugia) and with a full score. The enthusiasm for the win of the Final Four of last week in the Marche has been an additional motivational element for Lorenzetti’s team, which in this match has put in play energy and conviction in its means to beat the esteemed adversary. Michieletto (best scorer with 21 points and 60% in attack), Kaziyski (again MVP thanks to 17 points with 62% in the net and the match point), and Lisinac (12 with 70% in the first half and 5 blocks) have dragged the team first to the win of the first and third set, then to the most hard-fought one, the fourth, that has definitively given three points to the hosts, authors of a very precise performance: only an error in attack with 58% of the team, ten blocks, and five aces (four of Matey).
