On Sunday, Verona will play host to Montichiari eager to get a positive result out of the game. Many dubbed the first leg as the ‘perfect game’. It might not have been that perfect but the mental and tactical approach was excellent and that led to a sweep.

“It will be another crucial game for the playoffs – said spiker Simone Parodi – Montichiari is an excellent team, well-organised in attack and at the net. That’s why it will be fundamental to try to play like we did in the first leg, surely one of our best performances”.
