Chieri in the round of 16, Scandicci makes no mistake
Chieri and Scandicci ok
Two more 3-0 wins. The recurring result of the first two weeks of European cups also returns in the Scandicci and Chieri matches.
Second victory in as many CEV Champions League matches for Savino Del Bene Scandicci, which, in a Scharrena packed to capacity, won in three sets at the end of a match that saw coach Marco Gaspari’s team always in control of the game. As in the match a week ago, against the Romanian CSO Voluntari 2005, Maja Ognjenovic’s direction was excellent, sorting the balls for her own fire mouths with balance. For the Tuscan team to record a good performance in reception (36% positive and 20% perfect) and readings at the wall, with 8 blocks made (same number as the hosts). Very good performance for Ekaterina Antropova, named MVP of the match thanks to 20 points scored, the result of 15 winning attacks, 4 aces and 1 wall. For Allianz MTV Stuttgart the only one in double figures was Krystal Rivers. For the U.S. opposite, she scored 17 points in three sets. Click here for the report.
Reale Mutua Fenera Chieri ’76 gets its first win of the season in the CEV Challenge Cup, 3-0 at PalaFenera. The result comes in the return match of the round of 16 finals with Dsv Sv Sant Cugat, already overcome in the previous Wednesday’s first leg with the same score. The win qualifies the whites for the round of 16 scheduled for late November and mid-December against either LP Kangasala or Maccabi Haifa. Bregoli shuffles the cards a bit by deploying in the starting lineup Lyashko at center and Rolando as first libero. With them Van Aalen, Gicquel, Zakchaiou, Skinner and Bujis. The first set è was one-sided and slipped away very quickly ending with an eloquent 25-9. Much more hard-fought the next two fractions that ended 25-22 and 25-23, scores that faithfully reflect the uncertainty on the court resolved in Chieri’s favor only in the finals. Best scorer and only one in double figures è Lyashko who finished with 10 points, followed by Bujis at 9 and Gicquel at 8. Tomorrow, Thursday, Nov. 14, Chieri will know its opponent in the round of 16 finals. In the first leg match, the Finns of LP Kangasala overcame the Israelis of Maccabi Haifa 3-0.

Joshua Zirkzee’s first season in a Manchester United shirt is ending in the worst way. The Dutch striker, who arrived from Bologna last summer for more than 40 million euros, suffered a serious hamstring injury in his left knee during the last Premier League match against Newcastle. Confirming the news was coach Ruben Amorim himself in his pre-Europa League press conference, “Zirkzee will not be available for the rest of the season. He has to think about recovery and preparing for next year.”
A real mockery for the talented youngster, who was experiencing a positive moment in terms of personal growth, despite an overall complicated season for the Red Devils. Zirkzee thus ends his first year at Old Trafford with 7 goals and 3 assists in 48 total appearances, a haul perhaps lower than expected, but still indicative of a player who was finding space and confidence.
Manchester United’s season, punctuated by injuries and fluctuating performances, might only find a small light in the eventual Europa League victory. But the loss of Zirkzee at this crucial moment represents yet another tile on an already very complicated year for Amorim.
Ahead of the summer, the former Bologna man’s future remains to be written. The English club is already planning to intervene in the market again to reinforce the offensive department. And while it seems difficult to think of an immediate transfer of Zirkzee after only one year, it is not excluded that one between him and Højlund could leave Old Trafford. The return to the field, in any case, will not come until next season.
