The last act of the CEV Champions League 2022 is now very close: Sunday 22 May is the day of the Super Finals in Ljubljana. Trentino Itas and Grupa Azoty Kedzierzyn-Kozle will compete in front of the approximately eleven thousand spectators of the Dvorana Stozice Center at 21.00: a real rematch of the Final of the last edition which took place in Verona on May 1st. The race will also enjoy the prestigious showcase of a prime time on Rai 2, in addition to the usual live streaming on discovery + and Eurosport.
Trentino Itas has been waiting for this day since last April 27: Lorenzetti’s men had to surrender in Race 5 of the Play Off SuperLega Credem Banca Semifinals, failing to stem the furious reaction of Lube Civitanova, later Champion of Italy. From then on, the goal of the people from Trentino became only one, that of raising the second trophy of the season to the sky, after the Del Monte® Supercoppa at the start of the season. The CEV Champions League 2022 would be the fourth on the Trento bulletin board, while Sunday’s will be the sixth time in the Final for the club.
Kedzierzyn Kozle will sell his skin dearly: although, like Itas, several faces in the squad have changed compared to the last face to face, the new champions of Poland will aim to defend the title won last year in Verona. If Lorenzetti and his staff were able to recharge their batteries in the period of absence from the fields, the team coached by Cretu will try to exploit the match pace, having fought to conquer the national title until May 14, the date of the decisive victory in Race 4. Should they be confirmed, the Poles would become the fourth team to win two Champions in a row, after Lokomotiv Belgorod (2002/03, 2003/04), Itas itself, who also won the third (2008/09, 2009/10, 2010). / 11) and Zenit Kazan, which even reached 4 (from 2014 to 2018).
