Italy: Cisterna down Milano in just three sets in advance of Round 3

Round 3 of 2023/24 Superlega CredemBanca started today with the game between Cisterna Volley and Allianz Milano.
Surely not a good day for Milano, who played without starting diagonal, with the Croatian opposite Petar Dirlic out due to an injury to his left ankle suffered during last training before their journey to Cisterna, and setter Paolo Porro not at his best after the thigh problem. And the result is a straight sets win in favor of the hosts, who easily won the first two sets 25:14 and 25:15, and managed to close the game after a balanced third set, 25:23, in which coach Piazza was forced to put in the field Matey Kaziyski as opposite.
In fact, it wasn’t a good day for young Belgian Ferre Reggers, who closed the first two sets with only three points.
To make the difference the performance in blocking, with Cisterna who scorer as many as 12 points from this element in just three sets, including the one that closed the game (Mazzone on Ishikawa) compared to only 2 of the rivals, but also in attack, with 52% of the teams coached by Guillermo Falasca to Milano’s only 31%.
MVP of the game Theo Faure, top scorer with 18 points, while for Milano only japanese superstar Yuki Ishikawa reached a double digit with 13 points.
