Itas Trentino doesn’t give Arcada Galati a chance: Fabio Soli applauds his team’s cynicism
The words of Fabio Soli
The return to the It quotidiano Arena in Trento, after two consecutive away games, è fruitful for Itas Trentino. The European champions, in fact, returned to the presence of their public by detaching without particular problems the qualification to the round of 16 of the CEV Cup 2024, where they will challenge Benfica.
After the success in Romania in four sets seven days ago, the yellowoblù lineup did not give Arcada Galati a chance in their own home walls winning the match with a peremptory 3-0 (25-17, 25-20, 25-16). Standing out more than anyone else in this match was setter Giulio Magalini, who made good use of the opportunity given to him by coach Fabio Soli to show off and fully replace, even in the final scoreboard, Alessandro Michieletto. In fact, with 17 personal points, 65% in attack, a wall and an ace, the Scaliger hammer dragged his teammates towards the victory, taking the chestnuts out of the fire in the few moments of balance in the contest.
"We may not have looked particularly good, but we did everything we had set out to do on the eve of the game, which was to play a more concrete and convincing game than the one we played in Romania seven days ago. It was essential to impose our rhythm and we did it, we were good at every moment of the match, anticipating and solving the problems that could materialize. I am also very happy with the attitude proposed by the team in the last set, as players who until now have not had much space went on the court and showed the right spirit from the very first exchanges, earning applause on such an important stage as è that of the European cups" these were the statements in the press conference of the Gialloblù coach Fabio Soli.
Once the European exertions are over, the focus of Itas Trentino will return to the championship, where in the next day of SuperLega Credem Banca will face Massimo Eccheli’s Vero Volley Milano.
