Itas Trentino takes the lead again in the Finale Play Off Scudetto Credem Banca 2023 series thanks to a Game 3 at the limits of perfection. Dragged by the 4,000 spectators present at the BLM Group Arena (sold out for the second time in a row), the Gialloblù team won the contest hands down tonight, cornering a Cucine Lube who appeared in difficulty in all the fundamentals right from the first set, as the only 2 blocks made, 42% in attack and the zero aces collected over the three game sets, always one-way for the landlords, well tell. Guided by a masterful director Sbertoli, Lorenzetti’s team proposed an aggressive and effective volleyball and in this case strongly characterized by great defensive intensity; a weapon that put the opponents on the ropes, pushed away by Kaziyski’s serve and attacks (MVP of the match with 18 points and 4 aces), but also by Michieletto’s blocks and by Podrascanin’s great consistency in the first half. Blengini, deprived of Zaytsev from the first set due to a shoulder problem, tried to mix the cards on the table, without being able to find convincing answers from his team. Friday in Civitanova Marche the first opportunity to close the series, now at 2-1 for Itas Trentino.
MVP: Matey Kaziyski (Itas Trentino)
SPECTATORS: 4,000
Matey Kaziyski (Itas Trentino): “I think the 3-2 we missed in Civitanova on Thursday gave us the grit to face this match. We managed to recover more strength because the team seemed more alive and certainly the support of the public this evening was phenomenal. We dragged each other along, there was a crazy atmosphere and a fantastic game for us with a very important 3-0. Every time I see the building so full, wonderful memories come back to me. On Friday we will go to Civitanova with the desire to close this series and with the knowledge that it will be as tough as the first one there”.
Enrico Diamantini (Cucine Lube Civitanova): “The biggest regret is the fact that we gave up, which had never happened in the past. It is true that we have had to deal with various problems, including those of a physical nature, but we have to try anyway. With Zaytsev out we lost that balance on the pitch that accompanied us in these Play Offs, but we are a team with great skills, we can and we must do it anyway. Head to Race 4 to bring the series back to par again”.
