After two weeks Cucine Lube Civitanova and Diatec Trentino face each other again, after the big final of the Del Monte Italian Cup. And also on today in Unipolsai Superleague regular season, Chicco Blengini’s team grabbed the win, a more clear win than the Italian Cup final. It was a fast 3-0 (25-21, 25-14, 25-15) in front of a sold out Eurosuole Forum in Civitanova Marche. With this win Lube secured the first place in regular season, having the advantage of the court in all the playoffs’ series.This was the 16th win in a row for the Italian Cup chanps, undefeated at home in this season (15 wins) and in 2017. This win was a great win, with authority, determination, technical skill and confidence. The real balance of the game was until 20-20 in the first set, then Lube took the complete control of the game, by winning the first set 25-21. Sice that moment, Diatec Trentino collapsed, Lorenzetti tried to change something, putting on the court Oleg Antonov in place of Filippo Lanza, but the display of power on the court was clear. Lorenzetti tried again putting on the court Nelli and Solè, but nothing changed, the Lube perfect machine made no discounts, a clear and deserved 3-0 win for Civitanova, with Osmany Juantorena MVP of the game, 14 total points with 67% in attack, 79% in reception on 19, 3 aces and 1 block.
