Superlega: Trento, Piacenza and Vibo Valentia win the other matches of Round 8
3 min read
After obtaining the qualification for the pool stage of CEV Champions League, Itas Trentino visited Top Volley Cisterna, regenerated after the hiring of Kovac as head coach and in clear growth in the last rounds. In a duel between two teams in search of confirmations, Trento dominates the first two sets thanks to the serve and counterattack, then in the third set Kovac’s adjustments and greater efficiency from the service line put Cisterna back into the game. In the fourth and decisive set, the mistakes of the guests seem to direct the game towards the tie break, but Trento manages to recover from 22-18, cancel a set point and collect the entire stakes. In addition to the usual Abdel-Aziz (MVP of the match with 19 points, 52% in attack and 4 aces) good performance also by Kooy, decisive in the fiery final of the 4th set. Although less constant than his teammate, brazilian Lucarelli also gives flashes of the player that everyone expects. Tillie, with 14 points and 61% in attack was the top scorer (and the best) among the hosts.
Gas Sales Bluenergy Piacenza claims the first home win of the season, the second in a row after the one in Vibo Valentia, and takes three very important points for the standings. The home team is good at reacting after a bad start and at putting in a series of partial in their favor that are worth a four sets victory. On the other side of the net, Kioene Padova proves to be a tough and stubborn opponent, but who fails to realize the chances that have occurred in the match. Starting debut for setter Baranowicz, while Grozer is once again a guarantee. Deservedly awarded MVP of the match, the German opposite scored 20 points, including two aces, while Russell and Clevenot also contributed with 15 and 14 points respectively.
The home victory of Tonno Callipo Vibo Valentia against Vero Volley Monza closes the picture. After the stop against Piacenza, a week ago, the Calabrians are back to win, and they did it in style. Rossard was the top scorer among the winners with 18 points, but good performance also by the French middle-blocker Chinenyeze, who added 12. Monza paid for the bad evening of the Turkish Lagumdzija (11 points), currently one of the best in the championship, but Lanza has put down 19 balls.
