He gets his #first #championship #match #point Perugia. Who repeats the #3-1 of game 1 on #their own pitch, pushed by the 4,986 of PalaBarton #and somewhat facilitated by an unusually subdued performance of Monza, who struggled hard to get into the #match for two sets, only to then reemerge from nowhere #and force #Sir to win a #match that they practically already had in #their hands in the fourth set. # Where even once the proscenium #takes it Wilfredo Leon: the captain enters, attacks, hammers the serve #and closes the score. # And in doing so he gives a Perugia the #first opportunity to close the accounts already next SundayOpiquad Arena (6pm).
First two sets without history: Perugia dominates
To think these might have been Leon’s last plays in front of the Perugia crowd The tears might already be falling. Lorenzetti the joker is kept for when it is needed most: Monza with his usual stubbornness he had obliged Sir to postpone the intentions of grandeur, turning in #their favor a third set that objectively seemed to be in the hands of the Umbrians, “betrayed” by a video check which showed how the attack of Lopekky on 17-14 he had just touched the 9 meter line, avoiding the Mint slipped to -4.
Episode that suddenly has inertia overturned of a game otherwise always in the hands of the Block Devilsdevastating on serve in the #first set (5 aces, two of one unleashed Plotnytskyi) #and very precise even in attack. Cachopa He tries everything to keep the Brianza people on the waterline, but it’s all in vain, also because he’s alone Loeppky prove you’re on the ball. # The PalaBarton holds his breath only when Giannelli collapses to the ground after an involuntary contact at the net: his right ankle turns, he waits a bit #and then gets up, reviving the home crowd. # Barely an hour #and the #match seems to have been scored. # But on the other side of the net there is always Monza.
Monza never dies: Loeppky #and Maar are alive
Which starts better in the third #and runs away at 9-7, maximum advantage of the evening, immediately nullified by a wall of Flavius (5 in the evening for him) #and the third of Plotnytskyi. # Perugia he understands that it’s time to speed up #and runs away again, driven by the attacks of Ben Tara. # But that call on the attack of Loeppky change everything: Maar increases the engine speed, the Sir lift your foot off the accelerator for a moment #and the Mint gets two set balls.
The #first easily cancels the attack of Perugia, the second Ben Tara after a lightning exchange, with Cachopa which inspires three opportunities to close. # In the end though a ribbon on Maar’s serve to offer Monza the opportunity to extend the #match to the fourth. # Where Ben Tara start with two walls, #and where Perugia he always keeps his nose forward, even when Takahashi (fewer lights than shadows in his evening) reports the Mint to -1.
The Leon card: the PalaBarton at his feet
We move forward between service errors #and vibrant attacks, but Lorenzetti has the right card to draw: he sends Leon onto the pitch who immediately repaid him with an attack #and then, above all, with a turn at the imperial service, where with two aces #and two other formidable serves that sent the Brianza reception into crisis, they literally split the #match in two.
The closure is all for Ben Tara, MVP of the matchbut Perugia once again he won as a team #and now he can legitimately think about closing the accounts to theOpiquad Arena. # Where another undertaking from the boys will be needed Here they are to avoid an otherwise already marked ending.
Eccheli #takes the reaction: “It will be different in game 4”
Here they are that even at the end of the #match something good seemed to be found from this evening: “The reaction we had in the third set, after two sets, was objectively far below our possibilities. It looked like a classic 3-0 game in an hour #and little more, instead we fought #and reacted, forcing Perugia to win the #match again in the fourth. # Of course we Leon we don’t have him on the bench, as well as the fact that tonight there Sir he had more than us, but this series isn’t over #and I’m sure that Sunday will be a completely different story.”
The one that is also expected Lorenzetti: “I had predicted finishing in game 5, so I’m keeping it on average. # Well done to us in the #first two sets in hammering the serve, then as we loosened our grip for a moment, Monza immediately jumped on us. This means that Sunday will await us another battlesure that the series is anything but marked”.
Speak too Leon, even a little excited for what, if Perugia won game 4, it would have been his last race in front of the Juventus public: “Well done at winning a difficult match. In the #first two sets we played as a great team, but Monza he knew how to react #and get back under. # Sunday will be a completely different story, but we are happy to arrive at the #match in the best possible conditions.”
