While the official debut will be on September 24 in Modena with the SuperCup semi-final, Trentino began its pre-season with a prestigious victory in Piacenza’s PalaBanca arena on a 3-1 score. The group proved it had an interesting potential for the near future. Lanza and Solé rested, the main men were Stokr with 16 points and Daniele Mazzone, very effective in the middle, while both were inspired by Giannelli (10 points, 5 blocks, 3 aces).
« I am extremely satisfied with the way the team played this friendly game – said coach Angelo Lorenzetti – It’s too soon to look at the score but the attitude on court was definitely the one I wanted to see. We have been agressive in every department and especially in dig, and I think this is an area we will be able to improve during the season because we have a lot of quality ».
