Monza will play a prestigious friendly game on Saturday on home soil against Verona (3pm). The latter was also Monza’s last opponent as young Hungarian outside hitter Arpad Baroti had been given his first start.

“This was a top level game – said assistant coach Del Federico – Baroti did well in his first outing, Beretta was good too in the middle, we served fine and improved in every area of the game”.
