Volleyball, Itas Trentino wins the Scudetto: beat by Civitanova-Corriere.it

Itas Trentino is the Italian champion for the fifth time. Angelo Lorenzetti’s band, driven by a very hot Blm Arena, beats (25-20, 25-20, 25-19) Cucine Lube Civitanova in game 5 of the championship final and returns to the tricolor eight years after the last time. Trento attacks the match, puts pressure on Civitanova with his service and closes every space with an excellent block-defense system. In the long run, however, some carelessness, combined with Lube’s aggressiveness, allows the Marches to return to the set, but Lavia’s turn to serve gives Itas the advantage. Civitanova sketches a reaction, pushes on the accelerator and goes on. But Trento relies on the usual weapons, starting with the joke; he finds a Michieletto who had struggled to fuel, takes the Lube back and puts on the second Scudetto brick. With inertia all on its side, Itas didn’t back down even an inch, immediately took a good lead and administered with authority until the ball was worth the tricolor. The cover man Matey Kaziyskithe 38-year-old Bulgarian opposite protagonist of the umpteenth performance of the highest level (this year he also changed his role from spiker to opposite).

Kaziyski’s emotion

Winning here again after so many years and at the end of a game like this, in front of such an audience – he says – is an emotion that I will always carry with me. There was no better way to end this adventure. Next year he will be in Milan to put his second youth at the disposal of a club that wants to grow. For now, in the meantime, we are enjoying the party that closes a cycle for the Trentino team. It will start again with a new coach, Fabio Soli, who will take the place of Angelo Lorenzetti who has guided the rebirth of Itas over the past seven years through victories in a Club World Cup, a Cev Cup and two Champions League finals. Without ever distorting a technical project that is based on young Italians: first Giannelli, now Michieletto, Lavia and the libero Laurenzano (all on the pitch under the eyes of the blue coach De Giorgi).
