Thomas Beretta and a key victory
Christmas gift for MINT Vero Volley Monza, which is smiling again in the Credem Banca SuperLega. In the last match before the end of the year, the Consortium’s men’s first team gave itself a crucial championship victory, overcoming in the tie-break (25-13; 22-25; 17-25; 31-29; 15-12) the tricky Cucine Lube Civitanova team from the Marche region. In front of a packed Opiquad Arena è a heart-stopping challenge was staged that saw the Brianzoli battling on every ball and resisting Lube’s attacks.
After winning the first partial, the Monzese suffered the comeback of the Marche in the second and third sets. The fourth fraction è was animated by a very long point-to-point between the two formations with Civitanova having a chance to close the match, but MINT è was more tenacious and after three set points (31-29) sent the challenge to the tie-break. In the fifth and decisive partial, winners by Rohrs and Averill gave Monza the match and two crucial points for the standings.
Thomas Beretta, central MINT Vero Volley Monza, expressed all his joy: "Tonight's victory was fundamental for the ranking but above all for the group; we managed to fight to the end against a team that is having a great championship. I hope this game will serve as a lesson to show us that we have the strength to pick ourselves up and react in difficult matches. I am proud of all the boys".
