In the game before last, Milan travels to Pineto with renewed confidence following the convincing win against Gela. Milan faced many problems, injuries but Shafranovich turned out to be the player the club needed. He settled in quickly and showed all his potential.

“The team has come out of a critical period – said coach Fumagalli – Reggio is back in form, captain Insalata is feeling good and Alexander Shafranovich did not have any problem to fit in with his new teammates. He could be our secret weapon because our opponent don’t know him. We could even aim for seventh place to go directly to the playoffs quarters but it’s better to think one step at a time”.
