The run of Itas Trentino Under 14 in the Final Eight of the Del Monte® Boy League 2024, scheduled from today to Sunday in Fano, is off to a good start. In the Marche region, the team led by Matteo Zingaro tonight beat Cuneo 3-0 in the match that marked the yellow-blue debut in the group stage of the important and prestigious final phase of the youth category tournament organized by the Serie A Volleyball League.
With a very convinced and convincing approach, the match was immediately channeled onto the desired tracks for the Trentino team, who were then good, after two clearly won sets, in containing the Piedmontese team’s attempt to react. To gain access to the semi-final on Saturday at least one more victory will be needed in the last two matches of the first phase of Pool E, to be played at 9.30 am against Ravenna and at 5 pm against Civitanova (which also won the first match against the Romagna team 2-1).
“We immediately had the right mentality to start our journey as we wanted – explained Trentino Volley coach Matteo Zingaro -; the opponents were within our reach but in these events having a good approach is always important, regardless of who you find on the field. on the other side of the net. We worked well with serve and attack and in reception we were very consistent. A very difficult double match awaits us on Saturday; the match against Ravenna in particular can already tell us a lot about our future.”
