—

Civitanova flies in pursuit of Perugia on the wings of a spectacular Zaytsev (mvp) in service and incisive in attack, well supported by Yant and Lucarelli thanks also to the timely direction of Lucio De Cecco. The Civitanova fire mouths made the difference and so there was little history for Monza, overwhelmed by the power of the Marches in service and attack that did not give the chance to re-enter the game for Eccheli’s team who only succeeded in some rare juncture. to keep the level of play of the tricolors. Juantorena and Kovar still in the pits, Jeroncic and Anzani (who starts from the bench) are available in the Lube, while among the guests Grozer can only be seen in the warm-up and goes to the bench while Galliani and Calligaro are absent, not even starting from Monza. First set marked by the great service of Lube who immediately puts pressure with Zaytsev (2 aces) to the opponents (7-1). The Vero Volley tries to resist with the wall but on the other side of the net there is a very inspired Yant (6 and 86%) that allows the Adriatic to easily maintain control of the operations (16-11). True Volleyball that tries to get back on top in the end, Anzani also sees himself in the ranks of Civitanova for an exchange, before the partial ends with the trademark of the winning service this time by De Cecco. In the second he tries to replicate Monza with Davyskiba’s service and ace, giving the guests the first advantage of the game. But, as happened in the previous part, when Zaytsev reaches nine meters there are troubles for his opponents: the opposite still signs a spectacular serving, seasoned by two aces, which overturns the Lombards. Fluid the game of the Marchigiani orchestrated to perfection by De Cecco and with an inspired Zaytsev and in the evening of grace. Yant also joins the show at the service who signs the ace of 19-13 that weakens the residual resistances of a True Volleyball that must surrender. In the third set that Monza tries to resist: it shows with the break with which he recovers the initial disadvantage over his opponents (8-9). To further spoil the holidays for Brianza, however, is the turn in the service of Zaytsev and the attacks of Yant that cause Vero Volley to sink under 15-10. The beginning of the end for Vero Volley while the Civitanova fans can kick off the party.

Cisterna-Taranto 3-1 (22-25, 25-14, 25-23, 25-15)

—

First success of 2022 for the Top Volleyball that overtakes Taranto and stretches over its rivals with a view to salvation. Calendar upset due to covid, for Cisterna it is the first race of the calendar year after the postponements of the last few weeks. Soli initially relies on Baranowicz in the opposite direction and Dirlic, central Wiltenburg-Zingel, Raffaelli and Maar in the band, Cavaccini free. Di Pinto responds with Falaschi to the dribble ready to arm the forward Stefani and the former Randazzo. The hosts start better with a nice and effective narrow diagonal from Dirlic (5-2). The Apulian team does not give up and has the strength to restore the distances and overtake with Joao (13-12). The race is going through a very hard-fought phase between the two teams: balance broken in a final all of the guest brand with Stefani, really in great shape, who manages to overcome the Pontine wall and sign the point that gives the partial to the formation led by Di Pinto . Immediate reaction in the second set: still pontina start with Dirlic (7-5). Top Volley in this set entered the field with another attitude: Zingel’s winning wall for the 14-8. Maar and his companions make a big voice on the parquet playing with conviction and without smudging. Taranto is in trouble and also collects a series of errors in batting: Cisterna with 9 lengths of advantage. Fraction of the game without history, Maar with an ace closes at 25-14. Third set: formation of Soli ahead with Zingel (5-3). Taranto reacts promptly and after having equalized it goes on 8-6 thanks to Randazzo’s ace. Yet another reversal with Cisterna ahead, but the winning wall of Di Pinto’s team re-establishes parity (11-11). The match returns to be in great balance as in the first fraction, even if characterized by errors on both sides: Raffaelli makes a mistake (17-17), then Stefani makes a mistake and Cisterna goes to 22-21. It is the error that directs the partial in favor of the biancoblu who close with Dirlic’s decisive point (25-23). Fourth set: Zingel still on the shields (4-2). The guests struggle to find the right distances and the pontini take advantage of it with Maar who signs the 11-5. The Taranto sextet often lacks precision and suffers from the absence of the director Falaschi (out due to injury in the third set). Top Volley places the decisive draw (16-8), between the Apulians Randazzo and Stefani try in vain to put his team back in the game. Dirlic, again, signs the point that gives the team of Soli a fundamental victory and that allows the Pontini to take a significant step forward in the standings.
