The Final Ten of Del Monte® Junior League 2023 for the Itas Trentino Under 20 gets off on the right foot. In Civitanova Marche this afternoon the gialloblù immediately achieved a 3-0 victory over Cisterna in the opening match of Pool B of the first phase of the category youth championship organized by the Serie A Volleyball League.
The contribution of two Italian champions such as Berger (12 points in the center of the net with 70% in the first half, three blocks and two aces) and Laurenzano (67% of perfect balls in reception) has offered an important added value since the The beginning of Conci’s team, who was also able to count on the solid certainties represented by the lucid direction of Bernardis and the incisiveness at goal of Brignach and Bristot (22 points between two). Once the ice has broken and immediately conquered the top of the group, the Trentino team will play two more matches on Friday which, in the event of a positive result, could bring them closer to qualifying for the semi-finals on Saturday evening: at 9 against Monza and at 19 against Verona, at the PalaPrincipi in Picene power.
“It was a useful meeting to test some game mechanics that we hadn’t yet fine-tuned – explained the coach Francesco Conci – . We were good at making the most of it to work well and to build some more certainty, bearing in mind that all together this group had never played. The next rounds will be completely different, but getting a win with Monza could already allow us to look towards the final phase with confidence”.
