Joint training was useful for both coaches Angelo Lorenzetti from Trentino and Andrea Giani from Verona, especially for Lorenzetti, to test physical condition of the players who missed the first part of the preparation due to national team obligations.
The outcome of the friendly match, as always happens at this time of the season, was not so important. But it needs to be mentioned – Verona beat Trentino 3-1 (26-24, 27-25, 24-26, 25-23).
Due to lack of players at the moment, Giani was forced to loan some of Trentino players: Tine Urnaut, Tiziano Mazzone and Jan Štokr.
Slovenian newcomer Tonček Štern was the best scorer in Verona with 19 points. Gabriele Nelli had 13 in Trentino.
