Race 4 is worth a mortgage. On the scudetto for example, the one he wants to put Perugia. Which is just one game away from scoring “the perfect season”, the one made up of only trophies won among all those in which he participated. It wouldn’t be a strip worthy of the Maxicono Parma from 1990 (when there were 5 seasonal triumphs), but it would be very, very close. And it would put an end to a wait that has lasted for 6 seasons at Sirsince when Lorenzo Bernardi he led a handful of boys to win the scudetto, of whom he is the only one left today Max Colaci. The libero who more than anyone dreams of sewing the tricolor to his chest, giving meaning to the choice to stay Block Devils practically for the entire second part of his career.
Watch out for Mint, the race 4 specialist
You will have to ask permission in Monza, which is usually not accustomed to granting too many. It’s true, at home there Mint lost at least one of the two matches played in the previous series against Civitanova and Trento, then going on to recover the knockout. with the interests of their rivals at home (and always prevailing in game 5).
Anyone thinking of a series now addressed would do well not to take themselves too seriously: Perugia probably has something moreboth in terms of technical values and men to be sent into the field as needed, but Monza remains the most resilient team of the entire team Super alloy. And perhaps the only one that can send the series to race 5and perhaps even present themselves as the underdogs, given what happened during the play-offs.
Perugia, Leon wants to finish as a “gregarious” triumphant
Perugia but he has a card of which the Mint cannot have: responds to the name of Wilfredo Leonthe man who often solved home problems when coming off the bench Sir. He did it in game 1, he basically did it in game 2 too (where he did his thing, with 24 points on the scoresheet taking turns sitting down Semeniuk And Plotnytskyi from the second set onwards), he did it especially in game 3 with the series of serves with which he split the match in two in the fourth and decisive set.
The captain, betrothed to Lublin by Massimo Bottiwants to leave Perugia as a triumphant: arrived with great fanfare in the summer of 2018 to follow up the first tricolor in the history of Perugia, won just a few months earlier, in 6 seasons (one of which was actually interrupted by Covid) he has never managed to live up to expectations.
This time he could do it though in a different guise than usualbecause this year Leon he was constantly a reserve, first due to injury (he only started playing continuously in January), then due to technical choice, with Lorenzetti really good at managing it during a difficult year.
Monza, the evening of farewells: win to dream again
Monza is at the last corner of an exciting season, where the only worry could be represented by having managed to reach the end of the three competitions played (Italian Cup, Cev Cup and indeed championship play-offs), without ever managing to crown the final effort.
Two victories are needed to subvert the ominous omen: Here they are he will ask his people for one last effort to at least try to return to Perugia, where some glimmers of light in the first two races of the series i Brianza they identified him.
However, it is clear that a test that will have to border on perfection will be needed: a Maar, leaving as Galaxies (destination for both Piacenza) And Takahashi (which will return in Japan), the task of trying to overturn the inertia of a series that seems doomed. But it can’t be markedsimply because against this Mint Coming to terms is always quite complicated. Although Perugia this time he wants to complete the work and finally give himself over to the legend.
