Focus on next opponent Itas Trentino

Work continues at the PalaBarton of Sir Safety Susa Perugia which, after this morning’s physical training, will also be in Pian di Massiano in the afternoon for technical training under the orders of coach Anastasi. Tomorrow the Juventus staff will give the boys 24 hours of rest before meeting up on Friday morning for the final rush ahead of Sunday’s big match at Itas Trentino.
A very high-altitude clash therefore for the Block Devils who go to visit their first pursuer, albeit at a distance, in the standings on Sunday. In fact, coach Lorenzetti’s formation sits on the second seat of the Superlega (level on points with Modena, but ahead in the set quotient) with 35 points, the result of 11 wins and 7 defeats. Positive progress for the Trentino team who, after the sixth provisional place at the end of the first round, pushed on the accelerator climbing positions with victories (5 wins and 2 defeats in the second round so far) like the latest arrival on Sunday of Taranto.
Important numbers those of the yellow and blues that certify the position in the standings. Trento is in fact third behind Perugia and Piacenza in serving (1.75 aces per set) and second always behind Perugia blocking (2.51 direct points per set).
Just serve and block are the key fundamentals of Itas which then has in Sbertoli a playmaker of great quality and forwards of the highest level. Starting from those of high ball where Lorenzetti can count in second place on the infinite and crystalline class of the Bulgarian Kaziyski (fourth best striker in the championship with 296 points on the scoresheet) and in the band on the all-gold duo of the Italian national team formed by Michieletto and Street. Three real cornerstones of Trento’s game, capable with their plays of dictating the change of pace by exploiting even different characteristics with Kaziyski certainly more powerful player and with Michieletto and Lavia equipped instead with an infinite baggage of shots knowing how to play on the tempo of the attack and on the variety of trajectories. All this without forgetting two luxury changes on the bench like the Czech ex Monza Dzavoronok and like the opposite Nelli.
There is also great quality in the center of the net where the Serbian couple Podrascanin-Lisinac is undoubtedly one of the best in the Superlega. Both central players were eclectic, complete, with a quicker first half in Podrascanin and with an attack at sidereal heights in Lisinac, second best place three in the Super League behind Simon with 157 balls on the ground. Moreover, both of them have an always insidious jump service.
