In the second semifinal of Champions League we will see the best italian teams of this season. First team of regular championship will meet second team!
The teams know each other very well. Macerata has met Trentino three times in these season. In september in the super cup when Macerata won 3-0, then twice in the league regular season: a 3-0 at home and a 3-1 defeat in Trentino.
Let´s compare both italian teams… What to say about the setters? Both N. Grbic and V. Vermiglio are one of the best setters in the world. Vermiglio is the first setter of Italian national team for a long time, he won several titles in italian championship with Treviso. Grbic is the star of Serbian national team with Olympic title from Sydney, also he gained italian title last season with Trento. There is no difference between the setters.

With opposites the situation is similar. Both teams has great opposites. I. Omrcen and L. Vissoto are the leaders of their teams. Trentino has a little advantage in M. Kaziyski, even if S. Swiderski and M. Martino are very good, they are not the same level as bulgarian spiker. M. Winiarski is not a weak point in Trentino´s game either. How about the middleblockers? Here is the big advantage of Macerata. “Rodrigao” and M. Lebl are superior couple to Trentino´s middleblockers. Both teams defence specialist A. Giovi and A. Bari do they jobs very well.

What is the resume of our comparison? It will be a great battle of two top italian teams. The advantage of Trentino could be the performance of M. Kaziyski while Macerata can benefit from the middleblockers play.
Head coach of Macerata Ferdinando De Giorgi remember the last participation in Champions League Final Four 2007. “We lost in the semis against Friedriscshafen, when we thought we had the tie-break under control. It´s never easy to get there so credit to us for getting there twice in just a couple of years. Macerata and Trento play a good volleyball so we should see a tight semifinal. The way we will react in difficult situations will be crucial, it will also be important not to play the game in our heads in the previous days?.
