Champions League, Trentino Itas imposes its law in Poland

In Poland, Trentino Itas immediately found the path to victory, closing the first leg of Pool B unbeaten and with full points. This evening in Rzeszow the Italian Champions showed that they have absorbed the first defeat in the championship last Sunday, beating Asseco Resovia in just three sets. An important and weighty result, which allows the yellow-blue team to remain solitary at the top of the ranking of its grouping and to look at the first phase of the European competition with greater conviction and serenity.
Faced with a team like the Polish one that absolutely needed the victory to keep open a glimmer of hope for the first place, Podrascanin and his team-mates immediately returned to show their best volleyball, dominating the first and second set thanks to a great efficiency in the break point phase (enhanced by the excellent night of the attack and the great work done between serve, block and defense) and showing great character and cohesion also in the very tight end of the second period. In the central fraction, in fact, the two teams fought for a long time point to point; Trento showed that they knew how to suffer and resist, repeatedly rebuffing their opponents' escape attempts until 23-23.In the advantages, Louati's double error at the net opened the door to the rounded success of the tricolours, who were able to count on the 44 points scored by the trio Lavia (mvp with 56% in attack), Rychlicki and Michieletto, decisive in the important moments of each set. Rzesow proved to be a friendly city for the Gialloblù again on this occasion: today's was the fifth success in as many official matches played at RCWS Podpromie.
