The Block Devils resumed training following their opening defeat at home against Verona. Next is Milan on the road with De Cecco doubtful for the encounter. No panic in the club, like Castellani said, there are issues linked to the fact the players had very little time to train all together. “We’ll have to get better by training and by playing” would be a nice summary of the post-game impression of the Argentine coach. Birarelli was sent in the mix last Sunday for a few serves, the middle blocker is not certain to be fully fit yet though but he’s close. His charisma and personality is a must anyway in the squad. Milan greatly strengthened its squad compared to last season with quality players like Sottile, Burgsthaler, Alletti, Skrimov and Milushev. The last two did not play in the opening round as Milan was beaten by Piacenza.
