Last season, Milan made it to the top four of the Coppa Italia for the first time in the club's history. However, in the league, although they finished in 5th place in the regular round, they struggled to achieve results in the subsequent playoffs and the 5th place match, ultimately finishing in 9th place.
This season, in order to overcome the issue of a thin outside hitter pool,Ebadipur(Iran) andMelgarejoWe have acquired a powerful player.Yuki IshikawaThis season, the team has been fighting while making good use of the three new players.
It will be particularly exciting to see the two captains from Asian rivals Japan and Iran on the same team, with the opportunity to see their OH matches play off against each other.
He will also continue as captain for the middle blocker position.piano(Italy) plus the new additionRosellandVitelliThe impression is that the members are not fixed in place.
One player to watch among these is the Argentine Rosell. Although he is small for a middle-aged player, his quick move, block and serve are all at a high level, and he was one of the players who made a major contribution to Argentina's bronze medal win at the Tokyo Olympics.
And the center of the team's attack is the oppositePatryHe was also a member of the starting lineup for the French national team that won the gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics, and is a reliable ace who can hit difficult high balls from a high hitting point and turn them into points for the team.
Furthermore, the young setterPollois in his second year as a team member and is growing rapidly.PerseveranceHe saves the team with his stable serve reception and digs.
This season, the team seemed a bit awkward in the opening game due to a lack of combination, but they have since improved and have recorded more wins.
Our goal is to continue on from last season and reach the top four in the Coppa Italia, and also aim to reach the top four in the league.
