After the cycle of Civitanova, capable of winning the SuperLega Credem Banca Play Offs for three consecutive editions, and the tricolor ride of Trento last season, crowned by the triumph of the Dolomites in Game 5 of the Final, the Scudetto will pass from one team to another even this year. The Final kicks off tomorrow, Thursday 18 April (8.30 pm), at the PalaBarton in Pian di Massiano, live on VBTV and on Rai Sport, which will follow all the Finals with a personalized production and pitchside study. Competing for the throne of the most beautiful championship in the world are Sir Susa Vim Perugia, who are chasing their second SuperLega title and have already raised the Club World Cup, Del Monte® Supercoppa and Del Monte® Coppa Italia to the sky this season, and the ‘outsider Mint Vero Volley Monza, in his first Scudetto Final. After the disappointments in the last act of the Challenge Cup with Warsaw and in the unique Final of the Del Monte® Italian Cup against the Block Devils, the Brianza team wants to avoid another unfinished business and surprise everyone in the remake of the challenge with Sir. This time the comparison is a best of five match. The pitch factor is on the side of the Umbrians, but the Lombard collective in the Scudetto play-offs violated the Eurosuole Forum and the Daily Arena several times, demonstrating solidity even away from home.
Angelo Lorenzetti’s team, the coach who won the Scudetto last year in Trento, reached the Play Offs as the second force in the tournament and then eliminated Verona in the quarter-finals in just three games and took one more to get the better of Milan in the Semi-final , however always giving the feeling of having the pulse of the situation, while Massimo Eccheli’s men went on a roller coaster giving away two breathtaking series victories to the beautiful away from the friendly walls of the OpiquadArena. Against Civitanova first, and then with Trento thanks to a powerful comeback after two defeats thanks to the return of Stephen Maar with the possibility of implementing a more balanced formation with three spikers, the viaticum to reach the first Scudetto Final in history in men’s volleyball for a Consortium team. In the ranks of the Perugian team all the athletes on the roster managed to carve out spaces for themselves and what made the difference was the strength of an amalgamated group in which there are many tenors and a single choir. Sir’s history recalls the victory of the tricolor in 2017/18 against Lube and five series of Scudetto Finals lost, of which four against Cucinieri (2013/14, 2018/19, 2020/21, 2021/22) and one against Modena (2015/16).
