In the Courmayeur tournament, Milan could not overcome the French side of Lyon. In the first Volley Mont Blanc Trophy, Prandi’s team had indeed the better on a 3-0 score (three time 25-21). The French found their main asset in their serve: 10 aces all together, half of them coming from Vlado Nikolov. Milan will play for third place tomorrow against the Swiss of Lausanne, beaten by Verona.
“We did a good job once again in the blocking – said coach Maranesi – We still have to find our balance in reception. There could be opportunities tomorrow for different players, to check various schemes and alternatives”.
