Itas Trentino demonstrated huge willpower in the inaugural match of the pool stage of the 2021 CEV Men’s Volleyball Champions League.

On the 2021 Men’s Champions League premiere, Italy’s Itas Trentino raised their heads after trailing 2-0 in sets against the Russian titleholders Lokomotiv Novosibirsk and prevailed in the tie-break in this very hard-fought game of Pool E: 3-2 (21-25, 23-25, 25-23, 25-23, 15-2). In accordance with the new format of the competition, Trentino will host a three-day programme in this pool.

Dick Kooy top-scored Trentino with 20 points. The Dutchman Nimir Abdel-Aziz who, just like in recent SuperLega games, played as a setter instead of an opposite hitter (both setters – Giannelli and Sperotto – were unavailable), served 6 aces. Serbian Marko Podraščanin made 4 blocks.

In the other match of Pool E, Germany’s VfB Friedrichshafen downed Czech’s ČEZ Karlovarso in four sets mostly thanks to Linus Weber (21 points, including 5 blocks). The Frenchman Nicolas Maréchal served 4 aces.
