Still without its internationals (Hirsch, Fromm, Verhees, Raic and Dzavoronok) Monza had the better of Bergamo at home on a 3-1 score. The players proved they were in good physical conditions and played some excellent volleyball against a motivated team.
Miguel Àngel Falasca (Head coach Gi Group Team Monza): « The boys gave it all on court and they tried to put in practice what we had seen in the past few days. And they managed to do it well for most of the game. We were up against a team that really wanted to win, they fought to get blocks, they played hard dig, with intensity and hit their serve hard. Maybe that’s precisely what led us to play at our best ». Next game on Tuesday in Cantù.
