Trento wins the postponement against Verona
TRENTO– Winning debut for Itas Trento that overtakes Verona in three sets, in the postponement of the 1st matchday, at the end of a match in which Stoytchev’s team has sold out dearly fighting on par with the hosts in the second and third set . In the end, Kaziyski and associates won it by virtue of the greater attention in the decisive phases of the last two partials. In a BLM Group Arena finally reopened to the fans, the show was certainly not lacking.
With the exception of the first set (clearly won by the locals), the confrontation was a real battle; (Lisinac 12 points, Pinali 9, Lavia 8, but also Michieletto, on the field in the second and third period finals) and on Kaziyski’s class and coolness, decisive in the most important moments and in the end best scorer with 18 personal points and 53% in attack with three blocks and four aces. His return to the Gialloblù jersey could not have been better, even if Verona of the former Stoytchev, Raphael and Cortesia tried in every way to spoil the party without succeeding, because too low in attack, with only Mozic passing with a certain regularity . The three points conquered are important for the classification, but also for morale taking into account how they were conquered, by winning the arm wrestling engaged with the opponent between the second and third set
THE PROTAGONISTS-
Matey Kaziyski (Itas Trentino): « It was great to come back to the BLM Group Arena in this way, winning and getting the MVP title. I don’t know if it was a well-deserved recognition, but I keep it as tight as the three points taken at the end of a much more close match than the final score says. We were good at suffering and holding on even in the most critical moments ».
Raphael Vieira De Oliveira (Verona Volley) – « The match was tough against a strong opponent. I’m sorry for the defeat, but I’m happy with the character on the pitch by the boys. Verona has shown that it wants to fight against everyone. After the first set in which we gave too much, we got back on track giving Trento a lot of trouble. Too bad we are missing that extra twist. Now we are ready for the next match at home with Perugia ».
