Cisterna scares Lube before Lucarelli drags her to success. All easy for the people of Trentino. Piacenza returns to victory in Ravenna
Itas Trentino puts a serious risk on third place (at least) at the end of the regular season. And without being distracted from Saturday’s semi-final of the Italian Cup against Milan, Lorenzetti’s team takes a single bite of the Callipo Vibo tuna in the recovery of the second return. Cisterna fully engages Lube who in the end collects the eighth consecutive victory and maintains the unbeaten run in the return.
Trento-Vibo Valentia 3-0 (25-17, 25-21, 25-20)
–
Dragged by a super-sized Srecko Lisinac, the Trentino people are right over the Calabrians, managing to be more incisive throughout the break phase. At the start Lorenzetti does not change a comma of the now traditional sextet, while Baldovin will often shuffle the cards of his main diagonal starting from Saitta in the direction with Nishida opposite, but often the Calabrian technician opts for the double change with the two former Nelli opposite and Partenio in directing. The first extension is signed by Lavia and Michieletto, authors of the points of 10-6 for the Trentino, managing to control the Japanese opposite Nishida very well with his own wall (14-8). The double change with the insertions of Nelli and Partenio allows Vibo to halve this disadvantage, taking the 16-13, but as soon as Trento settles a couple of things in counterattack the margin returns to lengthen finding 20-15 with Kaziyski. The block on Candellaro of a spectacular Lisinac is worth 23-16 for Itas who only have to seal the final success. In the second set it is still Lisinac who pushes to the maximum: 14-10 with ace from the Serbian central. The Trentino ball change works like clockwork, Lavia is 18-14 for the hosts who suffer only when Fromm pushes hard, bringing Vibo back to 20-19. Lorenzetti stops everything and on his return to the field again Lisinac batting and Kaziyski in attack (23-20) allow the Dolomites to stretch again. In the third set Flavio’s out attack brings Trento ahead 10-8 before Michieletto makes +4 (12-8), with an inevitable time-out requested by Baldovin. When Kaziyski’s ace returns to the field for the 14-8 and the Giallorossi bench, the second and last discretionary time-out is also played. Vibo, however, does not disunite and manages to stay in the wake (18-15), before the diagonal in Lavia’s three meters does not bring Itas forward 20-17. Michieletto blocks a Nishida for 21-17, in Cavuto for the lap behind Kaziyski and the advantage is enough and advances to the Trentino to seal the three points.
Civitanova-Cisterna 3-1 (17-25, 25-21, 25-18, 25-20)

The defenses of Balaso, the direction of De Cecco, the decisive points of Lucarelli (mvp) made the difference in the presence of an opponent who played openly, showing a lucid Baranowicz in the direction and a combative sextet from start to finish who can play a role in the run-up to the playoffs. In the absent Lube Juantorena who, having returned to the bench in Taranto, is taken over by the young Penna: the choice of the red and white staff is a precaution in the recovery path of the Italo-Cuban spiker to avoid relapses due to the injury accused in recent months. Before the match starts, fans unroll a banner that reads ‘Imagine all the people living life in peace’ as a sign of protest for the war that Russia has waged against Ukraine. First one-way set, but for Cisterna! Rocket start of the Top Volley that immediately puts the Adriatic on the ropes with Rinaldi and Dirlic unleashed: the boys of Soli wall (4 winners) do very badly in Civitanova which sinks heavily under 5-12 not finding even a fundamental to lean on to try the ascent. Shy attempt to climb the red and white but then two aces by Dirlic direct a partial dominated and in absolute control of a Top Volley which confirms its state of grace already highlighted a few days ago in the corsair enterprise of Modena. Lube literally fought in this set where the Lazio succeeded everything and the Marche nothing. Second, it starts in the sign of Zaytsev trying to shock him. But the Lazio counter break is lethal and reverses the score. It is a point-to-point challenge that does not come undone. A double Simon (attack + ace) takes care of the 15-13 Lube break which is not enough because Top Volley does not retreat and finds again parity with Dirlic’s ace. In the final decisive are the defenses of Balaso and the attacks of Simon (6 and 100%) and Zaytsev (57%) who hand over the partial parity to Lube. In the third set Civitanova tries to stretch taking advantage of the effectiveness of Simon’s serve and with the winning attacks of Zaytsev and Anzani that dig 7-3. The attempt to climb Cisterna is held back by a point made by Lucarelli’s foot. Lazio less precise in service and attack while the pace of play of the tricolors increases (12-7). Lucarelli’s turn at batting widens even more the advantage of the hosts who this time can close without particular worries the partial that marks the overtaking. In the fourth, a super Lucarelli takes care of unraveling the equilibrium of the challenge, putting down the points that make the difference and giving Civitanova a sweaty success after a hard-fought race.
Ravenna-Piacenza 1-3 (24-26, 26-24, 22-25, 20-25)

If Gas Sales, beyond the very obvious (on the eve) victory in Ravenna were to repeat the performance offered at Pala De Andrè in the Italian Cup, the semifinal with Perugia could also last less than an hour. Deconcentrated, discontinuous, disappointing, perhaps in part also surprised by the strenuous resistance of the stra-relegated Consar, Piacenza sweated the proverbial 7 shirts also for the negative evening of Lagumdzija and the one that started well, but then the expected and perhaps excited declining ex Recine. On the other hand, however, exponential growth for Bovolenta (why so late in the first team …?) And the best Ulrich of the season. In directing, Biernat better than Queiroz. Report: Zanini chooses Queiroz as director and there is the carefree but also concentrated start of Consar, who with Klapwijk is hoisted up to 6-3 and then 8-4 literally snatching a time-out from a surprised Bernardi. But Piacenza receives badly and attacks even worse, letting Ravenna escape until 11-6. Gas Sales begins to work better on the wall, with Russell recovering until 12-11, but Consar is in gas and stretches again with Vukasinovic and Klapwijk (18-14). In order to find a comeback, Bernardi first sent Antonov and then Stern to serve, but only made mistakes, the hook instead is all ‘made in Rossard’ at 20. Continuity does not exist in the Emilian house, so a couple of hesitations and Ravenna went finds himself on 22-20, then the former Recine draws on 23 and overtakes on 23-24 after an infinite exchange, giving the first advantage of the evening in Piacenza in addition to the set-point. Klapwijk cancels, Caneschi replies and a wall on Klapwijk gives the first, very painful set to the guests. Having learned the lesson, Gas Sales does not want to discount at the beginning of the second set (1-5), then at 10-15, however, the Emilian reception accuses a blackout and Consar approaches the very ‘amarcord’ wall (17 -18) and very significant right here in Ravenna di Bovolenta, recently entered, on Recine. The son of art in the red and white jersey redeems himself with the two consecutive points of 17-20 but even Bovolenta does not joke and repeats himself by blocking Caneschi, then the gifts of Rossard and Lagmudzija are even 22-21 and Vukasinovic 24-22, Piacenza cancels with Recine but Comparoni’s block on a shaky attack by Gas Sales equalized the set count. Now the race is going uphill for Piacenza also because in the Ravenna field Ulrich (he will close with 6 points and 86%) has the special on (10-8) and does not turn it off even when Stern and Rossard overturn (16-15) , then the guests lengthen (19-22) and Brizard closes at the first opportunity. Fourth set but Ravenna does not give up, Piacenza misses mini-volley services and two consecutive walls of Bovolenta (10-8) enhance the few of the Pala De Andrè before the guest overtaking and the immediate counter-overtaking (13-12), for change, Ulrich. But it is the swan song for a tired Consar Rcm, and an ace from Stern closes the game.
