Italy: three points for Monza in postponement of Round 19

The first set was won by Vibo Valentia (as in the last two matches on the road, in Piacenza and Verona), but then the hosts of Vero Volley Monza take off with Lanza (18 points) and Lagumdzija, who returned after qualifying for Eurovolley2021 with his Turkey (top scorer of the match with 26 points), to conquers 3 very important points in the run-up to 4th place, right against Vibo Valentia itself (which, however, boasts two more matches than the rivals). Moreover, with this success, Monza overtakes Piacenza in the standings.
The hosts without middle-blocker Holt (last minute muscle strain) suffer in the first set, undergoing the attacks of Defalco and Rossard but, however, from the second set, a different Monza with a great Lagumdzija in attack has been seen, with also more accurate reception. With the video-check requested by coach Eccheli on 18:16 for an attack by Dzavoronok rewards the hosts, which closes the second and third set. In the fourth, despite the reaction of the rivals who do not give up, it is Monza that always commands the score, taking the seventh victory on their home court, where they have not lost since 11 October 2020, defeat against Civitanova, the next opponent in two days, on the road.
