Treia’s 20th league campaign at the highest level began with a victory. Recent winners of the Super Cup, the Italian champions had to sweat to get rid of a determined Verona side. This means their incredible home run continues, from 2012-13 into the 2014-15 season, the last defeat going as far back as February 2013 against Trento (1-3).
Before the game, President Simona Sileoni received the banner of Italian Champions from the League CEO Massimo Righi, while the League president Albino Massaccesi handed Hubert Henno the best libero award of the 2013-14 season.
MVP: Giulio Sabbi
Alberto Giuliani (coach Cucine Lube Banca Marche Treia): “This was not easy, Verona will make it difficult for everyone in my opinion. Important win because this comes after another victory, and this season it will be important to handle our mental resources to always stay at our best in terms of character. I am happy with this aspect today, even if it’s obvious we’ll have to cut down on the many mistakes we’ve seen today. Serving, blocking and dig must all improve a lot. We obtained this win showing great character, this is the most important of the positive aspects”.
Andrea Giani (allenatore Calzedonia Verona): “Shame to lose like that because we could have pushed this strange game to the tie-break. They dominated two sets and we dominated two others. Our goal was to stay close and we managed that, shame we lost those last points in the fourth set. We had two opportunities to bring it to the tie-break but the team did not look as calm and solid as it had previously been”.
