On Thursday, Monza plays host to Berlin in the Cev Cup quarter final first leg after knocking out Nafels in the previous round. Monza is in good shape having recently swept Vibo and having had a good game against Trento despite the defeat.

“The competition system does not take the set difference into account – explained coach Fenoglio – We’ll also have to play the return leg away from home. We simply need two good games on the first and second leg. The Berlin team is nothing like our two previous opponents, they have various players in the national teams, they have a very interesting middle blocker in Kmet, their outside hitter played in Italy and we all know Sivula”.
