World Club Championships
Trento vs UPCN Wednesday
Beaten in its debut game by Al Rayyan on Monday, Trento will take on the Argentine side of UPCN San Juan on Wednesday night, having to win to keep its chance of qualification in the semi-finals alive. This will be Trento’s 46th game of the season (27 wins, 18 losses fo far).
Roberto Serniotti (coach Trentino Diatec): “This is a crucial encounter in our challenge to make it in the top four of the competition. The three-set loss was maybe a bit severe because we had played good volleyball for long spells. I am therefore convinced we can still go through, especially if we can be less tense than on Monday. We know the UPCN well, this is the one we have the most info on. They have not changed much since we played them twice in last year’s edition of the World Club Championships. We’ll need to play a great game because they are capable of putting a lot of pressure on you: they dig well and have various alternatives in attack”.
