Without its foreigners (Jovovic, Verhees and Rousseaux) and Renan rested, Monza was defeated 3-1 in a friendly against the Dragons of Lugano.
“We have done a lot of work in the weight room this week – said head coach Oreste Vacondio – The many mistakes can be justified by the heavy load of work carried out. Still, we played some decent volleyball. There were some good spells. Now we’ll wait to the International players to come back to prepare the game against Modena”. Before that however, there will be another friendly on Saturday against Piacenza.
