Game 2 Semifinals: Sunday at 18.00 Milan and Civitanova challenge each other at the Allianz Cloud with live RAI Sport, at the same time Piacenza and Trento take the field at PalaBancaSport
Home factor respected in the matches that opened the SuperLega Credem Banca Play Off Semifinals on Thursday. The clear victories of Civitanova and Trento, respectively over Milan and Piacenza, allowed the red and white and yellow and blue players to immediately take the lead in the best-of-five series, but there is no time to think back to Game 1: on Sunday the second act.
The hosts of Allianz Milano and the Italian champions of Cucine Lube Civitanova will be on the field at 18.00 on Sunday at the Allianz Cloud for the second match of the series. The Marches won the first round with the maximum gap on Thursday evening at the Eurosuole Forum, with an omnipresent Fabio Balaso and Alex Nikolov in the evening. Showdown of the cooks even in the fundamentals where they limped until a few weeks ago, such as reception. The Lombard team, on the other hand, appeared less lucid than usual in the midweek match, also due to the shorter recovery time after the last intense match of the Quarter Finals won in Perugia. Aware of the dangerousness and reaction capacity of Roberto Piazza’s team, Gianlorenzo Blengini’s men want to sign the external blow to take up 2-0 in presence n. 100 in Mattia Bottolo’s career. On the Milan front, Credem Banca MVP of the Quarter Finals Osniel Mergarejo knows he can reopen the accounts as happened twice in the Play Offs before overtaking Sir. For Yuki Ishikawa and the Allianz stars it becomes essential to reduce the number of errors.
The doors of PalaBancaSport reopen on Sunday, at 18.00 for Race 2 of the Scudetto Semifinals between Gas Sales Bluenergy Piacenza and Itas Trentino. The team from Emilia, who fell in Trento in three sets on Thursday, wants to avoid finishing 2-0 down in the series as happened in the quarter-finals with Modena before the comeback which culminated in Game 5, while the vice world champions, strengthened by a commendable performance in the first act do not want to repeat the mistake made in the second match against Monza and will resort to their killer instinct in front of the net to prevent the quality of Gas Sales Bluenergy from being able to put the winners of the Del Monte® Coppa Italia SuperLega 2022/23 back into the game from a distance. After three seasonal victories for the Piacenza team in the direct clashes between the Regular Season and the final of the tricolor trophy, therefore, the first success for Angelo Lorenzetti’s men arrived at a crucial stage, with a very inspired Daniele Lavia. Now it’s up to Massimo Botti’s collective to roll up their sleeves and be towed by those who could write manuals on comebacks, such as Ricardo Lucarelli and Robertlandy Simon.
