Trento at home in Champions League

After two consecutive defeats in Europe and the league, the Gialloblù return to play in front of their home crowd, aiming to recapture the taste of victory and remain at the top of their group standings. However, the Italian champions will have to contend not only with their opponent’s competitiveness, but also with the emergency situation in the fourth spot, as they won’t be able to count on their spikers Lavia and Michieletto this time either.
“We’re back playing a Champions League home game after more than a month and a half of waiting, and for us it’s a crucial event to continue our European run,” explained coach Marcelo Mendez. “Despite not having won a match in Pool A yet, Tours Vb is a team that was able to cause us problems even in the first leg played in France at the beginning of January. They play effective volleyball, characterized by great defensive intensity. For our part, we can count on the support of our fans and their desire to get back to winning ways immediately, which will have to drive us to a great performance to win and to look forward to the second half of this stage of the tournament with confidence.”
