Itas Trentino working hard

At the rate of (at least) one test match per week, the men’s Itas Trentino is increasing its preparation program in view of its debut in the SuperLega (22 October in Cisterna di Latina). After the four sets played the previous weekend in Schio against Modena, the time will come for their first home outing on Friday 29 September, albeit in the form of joint training.
Starting from 6pm at the daily Arena di Trento, the Italian Champions will compete against Kemas Lamipel Santa Croce, a historic Serie A2 team; it will be a very reliable test for Fabio Soli’s team: for the Tuscans it will already be the sixth friendly match of the season, after those played in recent weeks with Siena (2-3), Cuneo (2-3), San Giustino (2 -1), Pineto (1-2) and Perugia, challenged only on Tuesday evening at the PalaBarton. In the staff available to coach Bulleri, names already known to volleyball fans stand out such as the playmaker Coscione, the spiker Parodi, the central defender Mati (mvp of the recent Under 17 National Finals, played last June in Trentino) and the opposite Puerto Rican Lawrence (formerly Milan).
For the occasion, the Trentino coach will have Giulio Magalini back (working with the group since the beginning of the week, after recovering quickly from the sprained ankle suffered in the previous week), while he will still have to do without Oreste Cavuto (dealing with a knee injury). low degree to the abdominals, accused last Friday), in addition to the six players involved from Saturday in the Olympic qualifiers with their respective national teams (D’Heer, Kozamernik, Lavia, Michieletto, Podrascanin and Sbertoli). “The one with Santa Croce is certainly the most significant moment of the sixth week of preparation – explained coach Fabio Soli -; after the positive match in Schio we need to test our physical and technical condition again and continue to grow also from the point of view of play and match pace. Being able to use Magalini in place 4 for the first time is certainly a further source of interest for this first home event.”
The joint training will be carried out behind open doors and will be broadcast live on the Trentino Volley YouTube channel (www.trentinovolley.it/trentinovolleytv).
