Credem Banca 2023 Scudetto Play Off Finals kick off offering an immediate show on the pitch and in the stands. In front of the over 4,000 spectators present tonight at the BLM Group Arena, Itas Trentino and Cucine Lube Civitanova immediately gave life to a vibrant confrontation, which further confirmed how absolutely legitimate their presence in the last act of the billboard is. The landlords took the lead 1-0 in the series, good at getting into the match with the right mentality and keeping it even when things got complicated, as in the final of the first set and between the second and third sets. In fact, the players from the Marches sold their skin dearly for at least the first three sets, before giving way to the Gialloblù, struggling with their ball trio (48 points in threes for Zaytsev, Nikolov and Yant). Trento was perhaps less continuous, but it was able to suffer and make up for Lisinac’s premature departure from the scene (resentment in the back, D’Heer did well in his place) and above all it was dragged along by the fans in difficult moments. MVP of the match Matey Kaziyski, who scored 22 times with three blocks, an ace and 51% on goal.
MVP: Matey Kaziyski (Itas Trentino)

Matey Kaziyski (Itas Trentino): “Maybe we could have played even better, me in particular, but I’m happy with this victory which gets us off to a good start to the series and which has brought me back to savoring those sensations that only the Scudetto Finals can offer. Beautiful atmosphere; it was fantastic to gratify our fans immediately with a win”.
Gianlorenzo Blengini (Coach Cucine Lube Civitanova): “It’s a shame, because I think there were some fairly clear themes in the development of the match. The first is certainly the one concerning the service. We missed too many lines at the start, mistakes that are heavy especially when the victory is decided by a ball. After the first set we broke up managing to play our game, but in the third set we weren’t able to take advantage of the opportunities we had, while Trento did, and this made the difference. Just as it had happened in the opening partial. These are the things that generate the most regret, the ones that we will have to file in view of Game 2″.
