In the last match of the regular season, the Italian champions easily imposed themselves against Allianz. Well Juantorena
Civitanova-Milan 3-0 (25-22, 25-19, 25-22) Civitanova closes its regular season with a success, which now projects it towards the start of the playoffs and soothes the knockout of a few days ago in Perugia. Race that, especially in the third set, was characterized by the shifts in the service of Garcia (mvp) and Porro who ignited a challenge played in balance with a newfound Juantorena (13 points and 52% in attack) on one side and a Romanò top scorer (16 points) on the other. Lube who was preferred in attack and block, while from nine meters the two teams were equal. Blengini relies on the typical sextet, no turnover, just to prove the best set-up and condition of his men in view of the start of the playoffs.
Absent
–
The only absent were Yant and Jeroncic struggling with some physical ailment. Milan, on the other hand, has the number of players: nine athletes are available for Piazza who discounts the absences of Piano, Ishikawa and Jaeschke. Civitanova tries to immediately give pressure to the opponents who, however, hold a blow and remain in the wake of the tricolors. Lombardi well inside the game, they do not disunite and with the walls of Djokic and Patry, Romanò’s attack dates back to 16-14. Marchigiani who at this point raise the pace of the challenge in attack (62%), go to 21-17 but the resilience of Allianz is commendable, with Porro and Romanò (7 points in the set) still protagonists in the final: before Juantorena , at the second set ball, close the games. In the second start of a very balanced partial: it is the attack by Zaytsev on a delightful ball remotely controlled by De Cecco first and Lucarelli’s lob then to dig the 10-7. Well orchestrated by De Cecco, Lube maintains an excellent ball change that allows him to cancel any possible comeback attempt by the Milanese team. In this second set, Juantorena’s contribution (5 points), more served in attack, also grows. A captain who even with a ‘dirty’ ace launches his sprint at 21-16: Garcia’s attack closes which brings Civitanova to the double advantage. Third set with the illusory advantage (1-3) of the guests: as soon as Garcia reaches the service, a series of 11-0 arrives, with 4 aces of the opposite, which completely overturns the partial and allows Lube to conquer a very wide benefit. To which, however, another nine-meter specialist like Porro replies who with his turn and three aces completely cancels the disadvantage (14-13). Set completely reopened. And Milan does not give up even when it falls again below 20-15: Romanò brings his own back to high altitude and the walls of Kovar and De Cecco are needed to break the strenuous resistance of an Allianz, however bold and alive to the end.
