The home factor is also confirmed as the winner in game 2 of the quarter-final series of the Play Offs Scudetto SuperLega Credem Banca 2023. In this case it was therefore the Monza Arena that enforced its law during the second game of the match at best five o’clock: the hosts of Vero Volley Monza won 3-1 over a plastered Itas Trentino, bringing the fate of the match back to a draw and giving away at least another home match (match 4 on 2 April) at own audience.
Without Michieletto, Depalma and lastly also Podrascanin (gastrointestinal problems for all three), with Lavia and Cavuto not at their best but still on the bench and with eleven sets in the legs in the previous five days, the Gialloblù still tried to sell dear life but they could not avoid the defeat, which came due to specific merits of the opponent but also due to the lack of tried-and-true game mechanisms for a set-up on the field never tried before during the forty previous official matches of the season. Given the many absences, Lorenzetti in fact had to bring Kaziyski back to the role of hammer (14 points for the captain), using Nelli as opposite and also inserting D’Heer in the center in the starting six and Džavoronok in the band (the best of his, with 18 points, a block, an ace and 53% in attack). The unprecedented sextet initially struggled to find the measures, especially in reception, but in the second part they managed to respond better to a very inspired Monza blocking and attacking. The best part of the Trentino evening in Brianza after the second set, clearly lost; down 0-2, Sbertoli and his companions raised their heads, deservedly winning the third set in the sprint and remaining in the game until 18-20 of the fourth set.
