Allianz Milano will arrive at PalaMazzola on Sunday at 5pm, a solid and in-form team fighting for sixth position, currently tied with Monza, tied on 33 points but with more favorable partials in the standings.
A great opportunity for the Ionian team who, after the good performance in Piacenza and their time in the safe, can have fun and finally play without the pressure of the goal, with their arms loose and in front of the many expected fans who will welcome them to celebrate the team and the club.
Milan, however, is not satisfied, and will show up with every intention of full loot. In the last match they defeated the Verona team 3-0 at home, who were going through a good moment, leveraging the excellent service and good performances of Reggers, Mergarejo and Ishikawa, with Vitelli in the center replacing Piano, who played an excellent match, finishing with 13 points.
With Kaziyski still out, Milan was able to count on spikers Mergarejo and Ishikawa and achieved a notable result with the Scala players who were unable to respond to the fluid and effective game orchestrated by the young international Porro.
The rossoblù know this well and will have to face the match with great caution albeit with the lightness of a team that has reached its goal. There are still 6 points up for grabs between this and the next match which could allow the Travica team to participate in the 5th place play-off phase with the Challenge Cup up for grabs.
The words of coach Travica “We will try to play as we have played lately and I hope that in front of our audience we will give a truly high level performance as we have always tried to do throughout the championship because I believe that everyone has to demonstrate that we could do that little something in more. I want to end the championship on a high note and try to give some more good performances and victories to our fans and to the club.”
Former matchday player Bonacchi: “I think it will be a slightly different match than usual given that we will take the field without pressure and with the awareness of being able to play with a free arm, but at the same time, with the awareness of not being able to take any played lightly. In the locker room there is an atmosphere of happiness and serenity given the achievement of our seasonal goal”
