It’s a happy moment for Allianz Milano, which opened 2025 with a victory, in a beautiful and exciting derby against Monza, with the game still in the balance, but won 3-0 by the home team. In the month of January there will also be two important SuperLega Credem Banca matches, against Verona on Sunday, then against Piacenza at the Allianz Cloud and as many Champions League matches to close the group of this phase. We talked about it with the president of Allianz Milano, Lucio Fusaro, who as always lives in the present, but has already been working for some time with the director Fabio Lini to form the Milan of volleyball of the future.
“Well let’s start by talking about the last Epiphany derby, absolutely in the balance. I hadn’t remembered the sets finishing over 40 points for a long time, so it’s fantastic that it happened in front of our audience and it’s fantastic that we won. The victory could have easily gone to Monza too. The first two partials ended due to a couple of our winning actions which could have closed them too. This is volleyball and this is the wonder of our sport. You can only celebrate when the last ball is put on the ground. It was important to start 2025 well, first match and derby won. A heartfelt challenge against a team that doesn’t deserve that position in the standings. Winning for us now means being able to sit more calmly in sixth place and fight from Sunday to get into the top four.”
