Imoco, a success with Trentino to overcome the primacy of Vakif

by admin

Santarelli’s sextet is one step away from the 74th victory in a row that would take him to Olympus. A record that can be revised upwards since the Zok Ub is not unbeatable

CONEGLIANO

The distance match between Prosecco Doc Imoco and Vakifbank will continue until Sunday 21st at the latest. The two clubs are both holders of the world record of 73 consecutive victories in all competitions and only after the conclusion of the panthers match against Trento will it be known whether the mention in the Guinness book will be shared or will remain the prerogative of Conegliano only. Only then can the subject of the record be put aside, at least for a couple of years. Going up to 74, the record would be unique and probably revisable on the upside, given that the Serbs of Zok Ub, first opponents in the Champions League a few days later, are certainly not unbeatable. In addition, the gradual return of Sylla and the imminent one of De Gennaro will give new oxygen to the rotations and sextets in the field, which so far have already been 6 different out of 9 games, without counting the changes in progress. The string of victories is not a goal in itself, but a means to get to the final first and then to the trophies. The Super Cup is already on the bulletin board and the next milestone is the World Cup in Ankara from 15 December.

Only two games in the group make the formula even more pushed towards the full result, with two high-profile opponents such as Fenerbahçe and Dentil Praia. The Vakif are in the other group where they will face Nicola Negro’s Minas and the Altay Kazakhs. Many hope to see another match between Giovanni Guidetti’s gialloblù and Daniele Santarelli’s gialloblù. In the last two direct clashes, the panthers have prevailed, in the semifinal of the 2019 and in the European final of 2021. Another big match could be upon us in a month and the stimuli coming from Istanbul are already very high. A few days ago the American spiker Michelle Bartsch, Olympian in Tokyo 2020, declared that she wanted a rematch against Conegliano and that she considered Tijana Boskovic stronger than Paola Egonu. Then came, even earlier than in previous years, the first market rumors, which concern the very opposite of Cittadella and its possible engagement with Vakif, together with the Chinese Zhu Ting. The rumors and Bartsch’s interview were published by Voleybol Magazin, the same portal that in January had given for certain the passage of Egonu to Fenerbahçe. The intention of the player was and is to win again in Conegliano, together with a group that, with her, has written the history of the record of victories. In these days the panthers were also congratulated by those who wore the yellow-blue jersey in the previous two seasons, helping to achieve success after another. The Americans Hill, Adams and Ogbogu (the latter today in force at the Vakif) were among the first to tag the former companions on social networks. The still very young Fersino, Botezat, Brandi, Enweonwu, Gicquel, today all in other A1 clubs, and the more experienced Sorokaite and Geerties can tell they have been part of this story. And then there is the historical core with De Gennaro, De Kruijf, Folie, Wolosz and Sylla, to which the qualities of Courtney, Caravello, Plummer, Butigan, Fahr, Vuchkova, Omoruyi, Frosini and other very young from the nursery have been added. they worked hard in the gym, helping to keep the team at record levels. –
