SuperLega, in Piacenza Itas Trentino immediately raises its voice again

Itas Trentino is immediately back on the winning streak, getting a very important result in Emilia for its (still solitary) race at the top of the SuperLega Credem Banca 2023/24 standings. After the first home setback of the season on Wednesday night (in the Champions League, in the fifth set against Rzeszow), the Italian Champions line-up immediately turned over a new leaf, violating this afternoon the PalaBanca in Piacenza 3-1 in the big match of the fourth round of the regular season, the fifteenth of the season.
If coach Fabio Soli was looking for precise answers in view of what will be one of the most important weeks of the season (on Wednesday the home match against Milan, the following weekend the Final Four of the Italian Cup in Bologna), his team was able to offer them this time too, showing off a convincing performance both in terms of the game and in terms of the purely agonistic fury. The three points won (rejecting Perugia's attempt to hook up at the top) were in fact the result of high-level volleyball in three of the four sets played.
It started at full speed with attack and block, the fundamentals that almost single-handedly decided the first set, but Itas Trentino suffered a downturn in the second set, conceding the side to Piacenza's comeback of the rejuvenated Leal. At 1-1, Sbertoli and his teammates resumed the discourse interrupted in the opening fraction, cornering the opponents thanks to a net test that has regained screaming percentages and a service increasingly effective. Among the great protagonists of the victory were the three high-ball hammers: Michieletto (mvp with 18 points and 62% in dunks and two blocks), Rychlicki (as many balls scored with 55% and many venomous serves), and Lavia, who was very good at recording the second line and offending from nine metres (4 of his 10 points came from there). In the centre there was great substance for both Kozamernik and Podrascanin, perhaps inconspicuous but very useful in every sector of the game.
