Serie A2 final: Val Gardena is back in action at home

(4) HC Gherdeina - (2) Hockey Milano Rossoblù

Things have happened in quick succession in the final series so far: First, Milan celebrated a clear 4-1 home win, then Val Gardena hit back just as confidently in front of their home crowd. On Friday, the Lombards took the lead again with another clear home win. Actually, it would now be Coach Erwin Kostner's team's turn again. But does HC Gherdeina have enough strength and class to equalize again? This question will be answered on Sunday in Wolkenstein. At least Val Gardena has shown in previous games that they are capable of giving Milan a run for their money. First and foremost, Kostner will once again rely on his “special teams”, which already worked well in game two. The Val Gardena trainer will once again appeal to the defensive tasks before the encounter, as the goalie Großgasteiger, who was recently extremely strong, was not adequately supported by his front men in Milan. With Eastman's return, the Ladin team once again has all of their squad players available. There will once again be room for 22 players at the player arch, who will relieve the team's burden by making many quick changes.

Kosnter's counterpart, the Milan coach, Massimo Da Rin, can also make full use of the game on Sunday. His protégés showed in the season finale that they are in extremely good physical condition. Especially in the first and third final games, the Milan players repeatedly increased the tempo and showed the necessary aggressiveness in the duels. On Friday, goalkeeper Terrazzano celebrated his first shutout in the final series, while Ansoldi and Klouda in particular caused a sensation in front of the opposing goal. After an extremely mixed season, the two have shown that they actually belong in a higher league. Milan's hopes are pinned on them, as well as the extremely dangerous defender Constant, to take a decisive step towards promotion to the first division in the Pranives Stadium.
