Net success also in the second semifinal in Monselice. Next weekend the first challenge to look for promotion
The Da Rold Belluno is in the playoff final to go up to A3.
The team of coach Diego Poletto knows no rivals who, thanks to the 3-1 gained at De Mas in the first leg match, also forcefully imposes itself on Schiavonia, eliminating Monselice, already leaders of the D2 group of series, with an unquestionable 3-0 B.
For the men’s sextet of the Belluno Volleyball it is a stellar evening and coincides with the fourteenth seal of an unprecedented season in the recent history of Belluno volleyball.
The starting sextet of Da Rold Belluno presents no surprises: Colussi and Boz make up the diagonal setter-opposite, Candeago and Seveglievich play on the bands, Paganin and Piazzetta in the center, with Martinez free. Initially backwards (4-1 for Monselice), the host team gets back on their feet and, from 8-5 for the Paduans, first catches the 8 all with an excellent work by Colussi and Piazzetta on the wall, then climbs until 13-9 with a deadly center again in Piazzetta. The Belluno goes up again. On serve, Boz signs the point of 20-15. Candeago finds Monselice’s mani out: 22-17. Belluno defends very well and Monselice fails to put the ball on the ground (23-17). The 24-19 is signed by Candeago, the 25-20 is the work of Paganin.
The Belluno starts very well in the second set, constantly keeping ahead of some lengths. Then he stretches up to 12-6 thanks to a good service from Piazzetta.
Candeago (last night in double figures like Paganin) stretches up to 17-10. The home team tries to reopen the game and with a 5-0 break shortens from 20-14 to 20-19. But Belluno proves to be firmly in control even in this juncture, and closes the qualification discourse with Seveglievich’s 25-21. With a clear mind, Da Rold Logistics also leads the third set. Monselice does not give up (16-16) but at a distance he is forced to raise the white flag. Paganin, on the wall, prints the point of 25-19 that archives the evening.
And now we think about the fourth round, the playoff final.
«We studied their game system day and night», reveals the team manager of Da Rold Belluno, Alessio Bortoluzzi, «and in this coach Poletto did an enormous job. This allowed us to immediately undermine their certainties by exploiting their weaknesses. We spent a sleepless week. If I look at the stakes and the value of the opponents, I can say that, so far, it was our best game. During the week the boys applied well over 100%. We’ve made a number of evolutions of our game but we really played volleyball tonight. Colussi? He played another sport. He took the team by the hand with a stellar performance ».
