The Italian champs are back in work after a positive week made of two 3-0 home wins, against Paris in the Champions League and Città di Castello in the league.

“A critical period begins for us – said Finish middle blocker Konstantin Shumov as Treia will travel to Trentino in the league and take on the European Champs of Belgorod on December 3 – Trento is a very strong team. We’ll have to play our game and try to get the best possible result in order to stay top of the league. Then there will be the European game against Belgorod, I think this is the number one team in Russia. Besides, they are top of our group with maximum points. If we play with patience, fight on every rally and are tactically careful we could make it hard for these players, who are physically very strong and can play top notch volleyball”.
