We are after the first round in Serie A. The World Champions from Trento, despite absence of Kaziyski, easily won over Castellana Grotte.
Itas Diatec – Castellana Grotte. The result of this match could be predicted. Itas Diatec Trentino took the liberty of giving a rest to Matey Kaziyski. But even without their best player, they didn’t give chances to gain a point to Castellana Grotte. Itas started with Stokr, Raphael and Juantorena that made their job perfectly. Castellana was fighting within two first sets, but in the 1st they gave to Itas too many points (10 errors). Then Trentino grows, when Juantorena grows and with him the middle blockers (Birarelli 6/6 in attack, Sala 5/8 and the service the opponents couldn’t receive properly). While in Castellana the main spikers, Evandro and Rodriguez, had 32 and 35% in attack.
