Allianz Milan to close the score, Itas Trentino to equalize the series and make up for the 0-3 home defeat suffered last Wednesday.
For president Lucio Fusaro’s company it would be the culmination of an ever-growing project.
The series is still going downhill, Itas Trentino would like to play it all on Tuesday 30th at the ilT Quotidiano Arena, while coach Roberto Piazza’s team would like to greet its fans in the last match of the season, with a heavy success and a historic qualification for the most important of European cups.
At a game level, Milan’s serve, with Paolo Porro capable of 4 aces, was decisive in the last match, as were blocking and defense. Trento, on the other hand, was quick to receive and although still compact in the block, it did not make a difference in this fundamental aspect (8 blocks for the Trentino team and 10 for the Lombard team). As far as personal bests are concerned, the Trentino centre-backs are close to important goals. Kozamernik is 1 point away from 100 in the play offs and Podrascanin is 1 block away from 1,200 in all competitions. Marco Vitelli is 5 blocks away from 300 in his career. With 3 points, Paolo Porro will reach 100 points for the season, not bad for a setter. This is the 28th match between the two teams, with Itas Trentino ahead 22 to 5.
Paolo Porro’s comment
We come to this match convinced because we want to go to the Champions League, it is an objective that we have now declared. It will take a bit of everything to win, an important performance, because we are playing against a team that is in the Champions League final. We will have to be united until the end however the game presents itself.
The words of Marko Podrascanin
“There was little time between one match and another but we must react to the home defeat in three sets in game 3 and try to bring the series back to Trento thanks to a victory in game 4. Qualifying for the Champions League is an objective too big to stop chasing; we can still do it, we just have to erase the negative memories of the last period”.
