CIVITANOVA – In an almost sold out Eurosuole Forum, the second home factor skips with Trento winning 3-0 in Civitanova in game 1 of the semifinal. There is still no Juantorena. He lube without rhythm and very foul in attack. For Trento, the ability to always remain attached to the match stands out, even when, as in the second set, the inertia seems all of the hosts. The key? Lube “gets stuck” when he inserts Kovar for Yant with Trento who puts Lucarelli “out of the way” for a possible pipe attack by beating him deeply and the block can concentrate on Zaytsev … Under 13-18 with Podrascanin at the service a 12-2 annihilating. Race 2 in Trento on Monday.
MORE OR LESS – Matey Kaziyski, was MVP and best scorer of the game with 16 points, two of which are blocked, 58% in attack; hit all heavy balls. Serving decisive Podrascanin landed an 8 of 9 in the first half. Trento also wins on the block (6 to 3) with Lube scoring 0 in the second and third set; from nine meters for direct points better the Lube with 8 aces against the 4 of Trento. For Lube Zaytsev, Simon and Yant in double figures with 15, 13 and 12 points. For the opposite, however, there are 8 negative balls in attack: 4 blocks suffered, 4 errors. 27 errors Lube, 14 of Trento.
SESTETTI – Lube Civitanova takes the field with De Cecco in the direction opposite Zaytsev, Yant and Lucarelli in place 4 (Juantorena again out), Simon and Anzani in place 3, Balaso free. Trento replies with the consolidated Sbertoli in directing and Lavia opposite, Kaziyski and Michieletto in the band, Lisinac and Podrascanin in the center and Zenger free.
THE RACE – Start of the race in the sign of Trentino with Michieletto and Lisinac (his block on Zaytsev) which is worth an initial 6-8 and 7-10, precious +3. La Lube doesn’t give up and hits 11-11 for the first time, then 16-16. Lavia and Kaziyski sign a new Trento extension that forces Blengini to time out: 19-21. Lube’s shot of pride with Yant and Lucarelli (23-23). We go to the advantages with Trento that on two occasions caresses a set ball one the Lube. Yant with out attack gives the set to Trento 26-28.
La Lube seems to want to enter the game with the right attitude. Zaytsev signs his first ace, albeit helped by the goal, Kaziyski on the other hand shows a rarity in his repertoire, two consecutive errors. Civitanova is ahead 13-10. De Cecco pushes the ball for Lucarelli who finds the Trento wall in trouble, Zaytsev hits and is 18-13. Lube who flies? No, the former Podrascanin goes to serve and overturns the partial to start with a direct ace that induces Blengini to insert Kovar for Yant. La Lube gets stuck: Podrascanin puts Lucarelli in the crosshairs at the service by removing him from the reconstruction, the Trento wall has an easy game to go over Zaytsev in 4 and defend. Errors arrive in the Lube series (Zaytsev 1, Kovar 2, Gabi Garcia 1). Podrascanin leaves the service with Trento ahead 19-23 with a point from Gabi Garcia after a decisive 1-10. The set signs Lavia with an ace: 20-25.
It looks like an all-Trentino set: Zaytsev ends up in the opponent’s wall, Kaziyski plays in class: 2-6. Simon “makes the Podrascanin” and from 9 meters draws the score: 8-8. He goes on without further escapes with two aces from Yant that give the Marche inertia: 12-11. Kovar enters for Yant and remains on the field also on the front line. Zaytsev does not find continuity in attack, while Kaziyski is very regular with his hands out and blocks. The Bulgarian places one on Lucarelli who is worth the overtaking: 21-22; signs the mani out of 22-23, Simon misses on 23-24, then Matey stops Zaytsev for a round 23-25 e 0-3 finale.
