Monza facing Lube

Building on the positives of the match against Piacenza, Monza will deliver a strong performance in front of the Opiquad Arena crowd. Coach Massimo Eccheli is guiding his players ahead of the match between Vero Volley Monza and Cucine Lube Civitanova, the ninth round of the championship. This will be a challenging midweek match for captain Beretta and his teammates, who will attempt to break their losing streak against one of the SuperLega’s big teams. Despite two losses, recent matches against Perugia and Piacenza have also provided positive signs that Monza will build on to relaunch their ambitions. It will be a special match for middle blocker Jacopo Larizza, who grew up in the Lube youth academy. He’s a former player, just like Eric Loeppky and Santiago Orduna, who played for Vero Volley. It will be a challenge within a challenge for Martin Atanasov and Aleksandar Nikolov, teammates on the Bulgaria team that won silver at last summer’s World Championships. The match will start at 8:45 PM and will be broadcast live on Rai Sport and VBTV, the official online streaming platform of Volleyball World. The referees will be Andrea Puecher and Cesare Armandola.
