In front of a great sell out crowd, the Gialloblù of Verona was great since the start, with a great Mitar Djuric in the first set. In second an outstanding job down the net of Simone Anzani and Aidan Zingel put Verona in front 2-0, in third again Verona in front, three match points killed by Modena, from 24-22 until the tie, but Mitar Djuric again sealed the win for Calzedonia, in the madhouse of the sold out AGSM Forum.
It was a perfect game for Verona, in every single fundamental, dominating the game thanks above all to a great game of Michele Baranowicz, a game without mistakes. Now Verona can be a dangerous outsider looking out to the playoff bracket. Not only the “big four contenders” for the final title, now Verona is a reality.
On the other hand, Modena suffered alot the serve of Verona, without being able to a threat in the serve, leaving to Calzedonia the opportunity to attack without pressure and executing in the best way

This is not the real Modena, that’s for sure. We need to look deep inside us and solve the problema we saw in this game, like the side out play, which did not worked at all on today”.
