Trento, race-5 with Lube Civitanova for tricolor

The words of Angelo Lorenzetti

Game 5 of the Final Play Off Scudetto SuperLega Credem Banca 2023 SuperLega Play Off will be played on Wednesday, May 17 at the BLM Group Arena. Itas Trentino will be back in front of its home crowd in the match that awards the 2022/23 Italian men’s title, the last act of the best-of-five series stopped at 2-2. Kickoff scheduled for 8:30 p.m.: live RAI Sport HD, Radio Dolomiti and live streaming on the OTT Volleyball World Tv platform.

“We have arrived at the match that concludes the season and awards the Scudetto after a very long journey but now we do not want to look back: we just want to play at our best this appointment for which we have worked so hard, throughout the year,” coach Angelo Lorenzetti presented the engagement thus – . It is an unforeseeable match for so many reasons, but one that I believe is the right epilogue to one of the most unpredictable and exciting championships of the last decades and Itas Trentino is here. We want to be protagonists again on Wednesday night, and to do that we will have to be more ready from the start in reception and good at capitalizing on the chances we build. Each set will be history in itself; let’s get ready to play one at a time with a lot of focus and determination.”

The Trentino coach will have to do without only Srecko Lisinac, who underwent six days ago in Piacenza a selective herniectomy surgery of the lumbar spine (the Serbian central player has just started in these days the rehabilitation path in the gym). On Wednesday, Trentino Volleyball will play the 146th match in its history in the Play Off Scudetto (a record of 85 and 60 losses), the 77th in front of its home crowd, where it has won 57 times. It will be the 53rd match of the season for the yellow-blues; only in the 2009/2010 and 2016/17 vintages (Lorenzetti’s first on the bench) had more matches been played, in both cases 56. The current balance this season is 35 wins and 17 losses.
