The first home match of the new year produced no points for Rana Verona, overtaken by Allianz Milano capable of showing off a great performance – as underlined by Coach Stoytchev himself on the sidelines of the match – perhaps one of the best of his season. However, the Scala team maintained fifth position in the standings, despite reaching 27 points, due to a better points ratio than their opponent on the day.
Overall, the team recorded good numbers in attack, finishing with 51% positivity in front of the net, with the peak reached by Mozic in this fundamental. The Veronese captain in fact reached 65% in this fundamental, for a total of 18 balls placed on the ground, including one from nine metres. Furthermore, Verona also maintained a good level in the ball exchange phase, with 63% of points scored after a positive reception and 52% after a negative one. The superiority of the Lombards was demonstrated above all in the counterattack, where the Verona team struggled to express themselves.
