Garlasco goes to Bologna, a bang for the buck

Coach Bertini’s team does not even leave a set to the Bolognese, bypassing Savigliano and Turin in the standings

BOLOGNA

In the magical setting of a monument of national sport such as the PalaDozza in Bologna, Volley 2001 Garlasco interrupts the prolonged negative moment and captures a fundamental victory in the struggle for salvation, beating Geetit in three authoritative sets.

It was a direct match with virtually no net because a defeat would probably have been irremediable with only five days remaining between now and the end of the regular season. On the other hand, with this victory, Garlasco overtakes both ViviBanca Torino and Monge Gerbaudo Savigliano in a single shot and for now moves to the safety zone awaiting the response of the recovery that today will see ViviBanca Torino engaged in the not easy match with the Sa. But. Portomaggiore.

Right approach

A fair and determined approach (5-8) with Porcello protagonist in the center and the reception to contain the Bolognese pitfalls well allowed the Lomellini to be immediately ahead and to manage the ball change well (12-16). Bologna appeared to be in trouble with the effectiveness of the Garlasco serve and the many balls hit by the 2001 Volleyball which in the final part of the fraction with Magalini and Crusca put the set on ice (16-21 and 19-25). Even more decisive the start of the lomellini in the second fraction (2-8), Crusca reactive finds important points on the wall, Bologna goes back to 13-16, but the merit of Di Noia and his companions here is precisely to reject the attack (17 -21) and then go on to double in the set count (22-25). Third set in substantial photocopy above all of the first, with another good start Lomellino (5-8) and careful management of the advantage and without waste or voltage drops (17-21), up to the final liberating 21-25 for a victory that now it will be capitalized in the next clashes of a championship that will resume on Sunday with Garlasco in Belluno.
