The World Club Champions continue their streak of 17 consecutive wins. This time on their way stood Copra Elior Piacenza with Simon in team. And this time Juantorena and co. were too strong.
Trentino‘s victory wasn’t as easy as the final result could say. After the win in the first part of the game and leading 22-16 in the second, Trento had a difficult moment. Copra Elior re-opened the match and won the second set. After the moment of weakness, Trento had to gather whole energy and power to beat the opponent.
After the match Radostin Stoytchev said: “I’m happy with the result, even if the win had to come earlier. After our good beginning, the match has become tied because of our errors. Probably, if we had won the second set, the match would have finished much earlier. However, I’m satisfied for this result”.
