Even if some concentration is already on the return of the Cev Champions League with the Ankara result to be overturned in Busto Arsizio on Tuesday 25 February, Allianz Milano must throw itself back into the SuperLega Credem Banca regular season. On Sunday at 6pm at the Pala Barton in Perugia there will be the league leaders Sir Susa Vim. And when we say Perugia-Milan or Milan-Perugia, whatever you want to call it, it is always synonymous with entertainment. Coach Piazza’s team and Lorenzetti’s team have a gap of 15 points in the standings, but as in the first leg, Allianz Milano is ready to do anything and more to do well against the former Ishikawa and Loser. In the year 2023 Allianz Milano was the authentic bête noire of the Umbrians. In April the elimination of Giannelli’s team from the playoff quarter-finals, in December (the following championship) the sensational comeback from 2-0 to 2-3 at Pala Barton. The eternal Matey Kaziyski went into service in the third set and collected 11 consecutive serves, making 6 aces and turning the entire match upside down. Even in the year 2024 there was certainly no lack of spectacle, but Milan managed to win only twice at home and in the tie-break, against Sir’s five successes. The last one, in the first round of this championship, 3-1 on November 24th in front of almost 9 thousand at the Unipol Forum in Assago.
Long and balanced matches, if you look for a 3-0 in the list you have to go down to the 2022/23 championship, Play Off quarter-finals at Pala Barton.
