ITA M: Lube punish little experiment of coach Lorenzetti to sweep Trentino in Round 5 derby!

Lube vs. Trentino

In the first match in Serie A1 in front of own crowd this season, Lube defeated Diatec Trentino in a big derby of Round 5 in straight sets but with each one being highly competitive and exhausting, partially 25-22, 30-28, 29-27! Trentino coach Angelo Lorenzetti tried to surprise the colleague on the rival’s bench Giampaolo Medei by putting Renee Teppan in the lineup to play on the opposite position instead of Luca Vettori but it did not give a proper result since Estonian player made only 4 points in two sets. So, Lorenzetti was forced to bring Vettori back in the third set, but – it was too late. The U.S. outside hitter Taylor Sander scored 17 points for Lube while Filippo Lanza collected 20 for Trentino.

Sir Safety Conad Perugia coach Lorenzo Bernardi also experimented a bit but in this case, it paid off. He started the match against Gi Group Monza (3-0) without middle blocker Simone Anzani in the lineup. He was replaced by Fabio Ricci who replaced him at a satisfactory level – 9 points, including 4 kill blocks. But, Serbian Aleksandar Atanasijević was the best scorer in Perugia with 12 points (3 aces).

The French Earvin Ngapeth had a nearly perfect display in the match against Calzedonia Verona in which his team Azimut Modena prevailed in four sets. He scored 27 points (66% attack, 4 aces)! The Slovenian Tonček Štern made 18 points for Verona.
