Eleonora D’Alessandro and Pasquale Di Santillo tell us about the feat, in Game 2 of the championship final, of the Brianza team who equalized the score with the Block Devils. The column also brings attention to the final for third place in which Milan overtakes Trento bringing the series back to 1-1
ROME- In this Tuesday’s episode of Starting Six Eleonora D’Alessandro and Pasquale Di Santillo offer us images and reflections on Game 2 of the Scudetto Play Off final with Monza capable of another great feat by coming from behind to overcome Perugia in the tie break who, despite playing a volleyball of the highest level, did not repeat Game 1 in full. The usual character, and the ability to never give up of Eccheli’s men, had a decisive impact on the final result. The series is therefore back to a draw and one can swear that the Brianza team, the real surprise of these Play Offs, will want to reserve for president Sirci’s team the same fate that already befell Civitanova and Trento. Naturally, Giannelli and his associates will instead want to make the most of the advantages dictated by the best placing in the championship. Overthestat takes us back to the pitch and tells, with numbers, what happened in the five spectacular sets staged at the Opiquad Arena. Monza was better at serving with 7 aces and 17 errors while Perugia committed 21 errors from nine meters making only 4 aces. In attack, the performance of the two teams was almost identical (52% for the Block Devils, 51% for Galassi and co). 9 winning blocks for the hosts against 8 for the Umbrians. Match&Play tells us about the challenge for 3rd place which will award the pass to the 2024/2025 Champions League. Competing for Europe are Milan and Trento, the two disappointed teams in the Scudetto semi-finals. After the tie break success of the Italian Champions in Game 1, Milan, in front of the Allianz crowd, found the strength to even the score, managing to prevail in Game 2 at the tie break, after canceling out six match points in the formation of Fabio Soli who certainly returns home with more than one regret.
