Last weekend, Rana Verona was the protagonist at the PalaBanca and despite not managing to achieve a positive result, encouraging signs were seen in view of the upcoming events. For two thirds of the match, Coach Stoytchev’s team held off Gas Sales Bluenergy Piacenza, the current third force in the top men’s volleyball championship, finishing the first two sets with the advantage.
The most important positive note on the occasion of the match in Piacenza is the return to the field of Aidan Zingel. The center back, born in 1990, marked his debut as an Italian with a great performance, especially blocking, where he blocked his opponents 5 times. Same haul for teammate Grozdanov. In general, the wall is a fundamental that has particularly worked, so much so that there are 15 in total. When serving, however, the team committed only 5 errors out of 70 total serves (7%), while when receiving, a positive rate of 45% was recorded.
In attack, the best scorer of the Scaliger sextet was Dzavoronok, author of 11 points, one more than the other spiker Sani, who also seasoned his performance with 1 ace and 2 blocks. Captain Mozic and Amin, however, alternated in the opposite role, while Spirito also offered his contribution to the serve, scoring a direct point from nine metres.
