Histroic achievement for Trentino: For the first time of its history it qualified for the Champions League Final Four, which will take place ont eh 4th and 5th of April in Prague. The future did not look that bright on the eve of the game with Vissotto, Kaziyski and Della Lunga doubtful but the mediacal staff managed to send both Vissotto and Kaziyski into play from the start of the game. The Brazilian and Winiarski were the main men in the first set against Czestchowa. Once the first set was won, it became a lot easier for Grbic and co, who cruised to a straigth set win. Leonardi and de Paola, both born in 88, even had the pleasure to get court time in the end.
According to the regulations of the competition, there will be a hundred percent Italian semi final between Macerata and Trentino. The other semi final will put face to face the Greek team of Iraklis Salonmicco, coached by Italian Flavio Gulinelli, against the winner of Odintsovo versus Belchatow.
