A practically perfect proof of the Belluno sextet. The next opponent was Ferrara who beat Portogruaro
Mission accomplished. The rhinos do not disappoint after the clear victory of the first leg and immediately close the accounts by dominating the match against a Valsugana Volley that in the first leg had made the Belluno people work harder than expected, especially in the second set won with the nails to the advantages. This time the story is different, with the Belluno team in great condition that does not give even crumbs to rivals.
Match always in hand
At home Candeago and his companions play it safe; awareness and maturity of a great team mean that the first two partials have no history. The hosts this time have no loss of concentration and leave the guests only the crumbs of a third and final partial with the assets of the two teams totally transformed and stuffed with changes. With the president Da Rold first ultras in the stands, the friendly walls of De Mas smile once again at the boys of coach Poletto: Valsugana comes out with broken bones after the double confrontation, six sets out of six lost and a match that from the very beginning jokes is revealed as a real mission impossible. Impossible because the people of Belluno, despite the stop in recent weeks, are more in the running and hungry than ever. And they demonstrate it more than evidently.
All available
The rhinos line up with the basic sextet: Colussi on the dribble, Paganin and Piazzetta in the middle, Candeago and Seveglievich in the band, Martinez free and Boz opposite. The first two sets start with a constant and overbearing leitmotif: two walls of an omnipresent Paganin direct the match. The central player from Belluno plays an MVP game, 13 points for him and a lot of substance in the service of the team. Excellent as always the direction of Colussi and a Martinez increasingly point of reference in reception. For their part, the Paduan guests make too many mistakes, even gross ones. Inaccurate especially in attack, with several balls that end up on the net or the prey of the replayed Belluno. In the first set the sets are merciless as in the second: 6-2 at the beginning with a nice block from Piazzetta, 12-5, and finally 18-12 with an ace from Boz. Second partial where Valsugana tries a timid reaction on 6-4 but it is only a flash in the pan. Paganin is unleashed and the Belluno takes off, closing with a peremptory 25-14. Turning of changes in the third and last set, with the Belluno now certain of the passage of the round. Poletto changes 4 out of 6 owners, keeping only Seveglievich and Piazzetta on the field, but then upsets the entire sextet. The newcomers do not look out of place; captain Gallina is always on the wall while Burigo in the center scores five points in the set, which ends 25-21 for the hosts.
Under with Ferrara
The clear path of the Belluno super rhinos continues therefore also in these playoffs: and now it’s up to the next opponents, the fierce young people of Ferrara who have defeated Portogruaro: from now on every match will be like a final towards the dream called promotion.
