Easy winners in the first leg, Monza disposed of Nafels in three sets to go through to the Cev Cup quarter finals. The players and staff dedicate this victory over the Swiss to Tsimafei Zhukouski, who had surgery on his back yesterday, hoping he will recover and join the group quickly.
In the quarter finals, Monza will face the Germans of Berlin Recycling Volleys which got rid of Istanbul BBSK, Turkey, with a sweep in the first leg and a tie-break victory in the return game.
Luciano De Cecco (Acqua Paradiso Monza Brianza): “Everything seemed easy today, we tried what we’d done in training during the week and we are satisfied with the way it went. Now we’ll need to prepare to meet a stronger team, Berlin. We have to keep training hard to obtain the best we can out of the league and the Cev Cup”.
