ROME (ITALPRESS) – Italian volleyball celebrates a fantastic European double: Trento for men and Conegliano for women lift the Champions League to the skies. The men’s final goes on stage first with the team coached by Fabio Soli opposing the Polish side Jastrzebski Wegiel. The victory is a heavy one, thanks to a 3-0 (25-20 25-22 25-21) perhaps not predictable on the eve. On the shields Alessandro Michieletto, author of 16 points, and his teammate Kamil Rychlicki, who knocked down 15 balls. The 5 blocks each by Marko Podrascanin and Jan Kozamernik were also decisive. Tomasz Fornal’s 19 points, the best scorer of the match, were of no avail on the other side. Thus comes the fourth continental title in their history for the Dolomites, after the three consecutive titles signed between 2009 and 2011. The trophy allows Itas Trentino to erase the disappointment of the missed championship final. Then it was the turn of Conegliano and Milan to give life to an exciting all-Italian women’s derby. The Venetians of Imoco prevailed, thus completing a perfect season, which began with triumphs in the Italian Super Cup and the Italian Cup and followed with the sixth championship in a row and today’s success. Daniele Santarelli’s team prevailed in the tie-break, with scores of 25-14 23-25 25-19 19-25 15-9. For the reigning Italian champions it is the second Champions League triumph in their history, bringing the most prestigious continental club trophy back to Italy after two years of victories by VakifBank Istanbul. For the Dutch central Robin De Kruijf it is a success worth double, arriving in the last match of his career with the yellow and blue jersey.
