Prosecco DOC A. Carraro Imoco in raptures: at the first of the championship the Panthers beat Granda Volley Cuneo 3-0 and begin the path to protect the tricolor. Coach Santarelli grants the debut to the 5 new faces of the summer, in a match that consecrates Merit Adigwe as MVP <\/strong>(awarded by the sponsor day Latteria Soligo represented by president Lorenzo Brugnera) of the match thanks to 14 points, top scorer of the match together with a brilliant Zhu Ting<\/strong>. The Palaverde applauds and pays tribute to Raffa Folie with a banner, on his return to the Panthers’ den after 4 years. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

For the first at the Palaverde, coach Daniele Santarelli deploys Di on the dribble, Adigwe opposite, Zhu and Sillah spikers, Cekulaev and Manfredini central, De Gennaro is the libero<\/strong>.
\n For the Cuneo cats, coach Tisci chooses Signorile, Grafort, Tikhomirova, Pucelj, Koulisiani, Ferrarini and Magnani libero.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Overwhelming start of the Panthers who, taking advantage of a profitable service turn by Manfredini (8 points, 2 aces and 1 block for the blue), scratch up to 8-1<\/strong>, Zhu is punctual both on the block and in attack. The same center finally scores in attack (12-6), in the middle of Adigwe’s show (6 points with 75%, Yao Di leads an attack from 1 error in the pertial)<\/strong> Sillah also unlocks (15-7). Grafort scouts Granda Volley (18-10), Arici debuts to give depth in the second line, Sillah’s 22-12 is a breathless exchange<\/strong> that enhances the Palaverde: it is always the Slovenian who takes advantage of the first of 12 set balls for Prosecco DOC (25-13)<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It is always the start to mark the second partial on the side of the Panthers: Manfredini with the ace fixes the 5-0, Koulisiani does the same for the 6-4 that puts Cuneo back on track, Cekulaev repels the assaults on the wall (8-4). The German also extends the break to 7-0 for 12-5 (4 points with 100% attack in the second set for the debutant) <\/strong>, Pucelj scratches and decreases the disadvantage (15-9), Piovesan is the move to give life behind (16-10),<\/strong> when Manfredini places his second winning serve coach Tisci calls the second time-out (18-10). Coach Santarelli makes Haak and Wolosz breathe the air of the court again, the Swede stings with 23-14: Di raises Manfredini’s fast of 25-16, it’s 2-0<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The sextet of the day is back for the third set, a couple of yellow-blue errors open a mini-advantage to Cuneo (1-3): coach Santarelli calls the videocheck that delivers the point to Zh<\/strong>u, then Signorile of the second clears the defense, Adigwe grabs the equalizer (6-6). De Gennaro multiplies in the second line and Cekulaev bites for the first advantage in the third (9 centers in the match for the German),<\/strong> then Grafort blocks and it’s a break Granda Volley (10-12). Four in a row by Zhu and Cuneo time-out (14-12), Wolosz and Haak take over the diagonal and Arici cleans the second line, but it is Sillah who signs (20-16), Magnani is everywhere but the push of Prosecco DOC is incessant: there is the hand of De Gennaro and Arici in the 22-17 of Manfredini, the yellow-blue matchpoint is signed by Haak (25-20)<\/strong>. <\/p>\n
