A trip to Austria for Allianz Milano who will face Hypo Tirol tomorrow (Wednesday 20 November) at 6pm at the Universitatssporthalle in Innsbruck in the second match of this Pool C, the round-robin group that qualifies for the quarter-finals of the top European competition for club teams.
A not long trip, but certainly demanding, which comes after Sunday’s convincing victory against Sonepar Padova and prepares coach Roberto Piazza’s team for Sunday at the Assago Forum, where league leaders Sir Susa Vim Perugia are expected for a stellar match.
Four consecutive useful results for the Lombards, three in the Super League and one in their debut in the Cup in front of a friendly crowd. Allianz Milano begins to rev the engine “as a grown-up”. The large squad also allowed for a large rotation of spikers and central players in the first sextet on Sunday. In Padua Louati and Kaziyski started on the sidelines and Schnitzer and Caneschi in the middle of the net, while Otsuka, Gardini, Larizza and Piano played against Roeselare. Changes of pawns which certainly did not lower the level of the game. In short, the running-in is over and there are the first objectives to be achieved already in this final part of an exciting 2024, i.e. the best possible ranking for the quarter-finals of the Italian Cup and the Champions League.
