Big shot by Allianz Milano that violates PalaBarton in Game 5 of the Play Off Quarterfinals and flies to the Semifinal. The men of Piazza take the Umbrian facility in a comeback 3-1. After a first set conducted by the landlords of Sir Safety Susa Perugia, the meneghini rise in the game and express themselves at high levels in the agitated phases of the third and fourth set, demonstrating greater lucidity and serenity in managing important balls.
The home team has a bitter taste which sees the race for the tricolor close prematurely. With the exception of the service (1 ace against 8) all the other numbers are higher for Perugia (44% against 42% in reception, 50% against 38% in attack, 10 blocks against 6) demonstrating that statistics often do not give a picture the progress of a match. There are 20 points for Herrera and 15 for Semeniuk in the Juventus half, four in double figures for Milan (18 seals for MVP Ishikawa, 14 for Mergarejo, 10 each for Loser and Patry.

Andrea Anastasi (coach Sir Safety Susa Perugia): “We have been lost for a while, we are full of negativity, we no longer have the mental resources to be successful and we proved it again today. This is our limit which has emerged in the last twenty days, we have shut down in this succession of matches, we have not been able to handle the defeat and the pressure. This limit unfortunately penalized us and I am very sorry”.
Yuki Ishikawa (Allianz Milano): “Incredible, great game, we were very good, we played very well, first set aside. It was complicated, with the score we were always close but we won and we are very happy. This is my third year in Milan and the goal was the Semifinal. In my first season we won the Challenge Cup, last year we went to the semifinal of the Italian Cup and now we are in the Scudetto semifinal. We are writing the history of this club”.
Valsa Group Modena – Gas Sales Bluenergy Piacenza 2-3 (25-19, 25-17, 20-25, 21-25, 12-15) – Valsa Group Modena: Mossa De Rezende 1, Ngapeth 18, Sanguinetti 8, Lagumdzija 19, Rinaldi 15, Stankovic 6, Rousseaux 0, Gollini (L), Rossini (L), Marechal 0, Sala 1.

Gas Sales Bluenergy Piacenza conquers the PalaPanini once again and scores its historic first pass for the Scudetto Semifinals. Race 1 in Trento is scheduled for Thursday (8.30 pm). Against the Valsa Group Modena comes a tie break victory after more than two hours of competition and after a disadvantage of two sets for Piacenza. The first two partials in fact not played by the guests, then comes the change of pace and everything becomes more difficult for the home team: once the scores are settled in terms of sets, the red and whites put the turbo at the tie break (1-5) by buffering the comeback attempts by the yellows (8-9) to then score the decisive draw. Show on the field, show in the stands in the sold out Temple. Top scorer of the match Lagumdzija on one side and Lucarelli on the other with 19 points. Simone’s 7 walls and Caneschi’s 4 are fundamental for Gas Sales. It’s the Scudetto Semifinal, the first in the history of the Club which in fact is already certain to play in Europe next year: Champions League or Cev Cup depending on the final placement in the second phase.
MVP: Ricardo Lucarelli (Gas Sales Bluenergy Piacenza)

Andrea Giani (coach Valsa Group Modena): “Getting here was a really important step, we had the strength to be able to start vigorously, then we lacked something, perhaps also due to inexperience”.
Massimo Botti: (coach Gas Sales Bluenergy Volley Piacenza): “I’m proud of this group, of these guys, it wasn’t easy to win three consecutive matches against Modena, we did a great thing. In the first two sets we played tense and we had too many fouls, then we loosened up and expressed ourselves properly, we played volleyball. It was a strange match, which ended again in a tie break, but this time a team won two sets to zero, the personality of this team was crucial to winning this match”.
