The 2021 #CLVolleyM silver medallists of TRENTINO Itas claimed first victory in this year’s edition of the competition after outclassing at 3-0 the team of Fenerbahçe HDI ISTANBUL. Collecting their first three points in Pool E, the players of head coach Angelo Lorenzetti are currently standing on second place in the group, where pool leaders are Sir Sicoma Monini Perugia. 

* The first set set the tone for an exciting match ahead, with both sides chasing each other in the score. After a close call, three kill blocks (all by Daniele Lavia) turned out to be crucial for the hosts. 

* The second one turned out to be the most important for the final outcome of the game. The guests from Istanbul were close to come back in the match and equalize (after some strong performance on the serve delivered by Salvador Hidalgo Oliva in the middle of the part, causing problems to Trentino’s reception). However, Matey Kaziyski stepped up on the serve himself (from 17-21 to 24-21), and Trentino, led by Lavia on spike and block, managed to turn things around. Inspired, the hosts stormed out in the third set, and closed easily the part.

* Overall, Trentino were slightly better on the winning spikes (43 to 38; 53% team efficiency). As many as 10 kill blocks (to three) made the difference for Lorenzetti’s squad. Both Trentino and Fenerbahce finished with seven aces each.
