Volleyball – Trento defeated, Italy fails an encore: the men’s Champions go to Poland

The men from Trentino beaten by Nikola Grbic’s men who had already eliminated Civitanova

(22-25, 22-25, 25-20, 26-28)

–

Italy fails the encore and the men’s Champions ends in Poland with the right Zaksa winner of the final with a careful match, masterfully conducted by Toniutti in the direction and closed with an ace from Kaczmarek that leaves Trento stunned.

Trento sends Kooy to Michieletto. And Lorenzetti’s team has a good start: Zaksa, however, comes out at a distance and having recovered the break from behind, they start charging with a game that made them eliminate the champions of Civitanova in the quarterfinals and Kazan in the semifinals. Nikola Grbic’s team – which Perugia is trying to persuade to come to Italy, where he started coaching – make as little mistakes as possible and defend a lot. So the first set ends up in Polish hands. The second set is in photocopy, with the addition of Semeniuk, the new star of Polish volleyball, who breaks the set with a series of jokes at the gun. Trento also throws Michieletto into the fray, but the fate does not change. Only Lucarelli keeps the Trentino boat afloat.

Third and fourth set

—

Lorenzetti’s team is still starting well, but Zaksa’s wall puts a gag on Nimir and it is still hard for Trento to regain the thread of the set. Then dragged by the Brazilian Olympic champion, she exits the tunnel and, inspired by Giannelli, shortens the distance. But the Zaksa does not give up easily, quite the contrary. Trento fights point by point, he also burns a couple of breaks. But the 28-26 in the fourth set sanctions the triumph for Zaksa.
