In its sixth week of pre-season training, Monza will play its fifth friendly game on Thursday night against the Slovenians of Calcit. Still without the internationals Fromm, Hirsch, Raic, Verhees, Dzavoronok as well as coach Falasca, assistant coach Cattaneo will count on the remaining nine players available.

« The boys are in great shape, they’re giving it all as usual in the gym – said Francesco Cattaneo – On Monday, we have worked with our head coach Falasca to define the individual as well as team targets. There is a great atmosphere in the group as we’re waiting for the come-back of the internationals. Next week, we will take care of the last details to be ready for the friendly game against Piacenza on September 28 and especially for our regular season debut ».
