Two seasons ago, they won the league, but last season they failed to reach the finals of either the league or the Coppa Italia, finishing in the quarterfinals. However, they did manage to win the European Champions League. The main players are Italian national team players such as OH Micheletto, OH Lavia, and S. Sbertoli, and there have been few changes to the players since last season, so they are solid this season. However, they will need to be particularly careful this season about the injuries that plagued them last season.

#5 Alessandro Micheletto
Position: Outside hitter
Height: 211cm
Nationality: Italian
He is one of the league's top outside hitters and is active as a point getter for the Italian national team. He is probably the only left-handed outside hitter in the world who stands 211cm tall. He also has good defense and has experience as a libero in the under-19 category. His spikes and serves, delivered from a high hitting point as a southpaw, are difficult to deal with. And he's still only 22 years old, so he has a terrifying future.
Milan
Official name: Allianz Milano
Hometown: Milan (Lombardy)
Home Arena:Allianz Cloud
Milan finished last season in third place, their highest ever ranking, and qualified for the European Champions League. Although Ishikawa Yuki, who supported the team for four seasons, has left the team, many of last season's main players remain, including S Pollo (Italy), OH Kaziyski (Bulgaria), OP Regers (Belgium), and MB Piano (Italy), and OH Ruati (France) and OH Otsuka will join them. This season, they are aiming to reach the long-awaited final.

#16 Paolo Porro
Position: Setter
Height: 185cm
Nationality: Italian
He is the older brother of Luca, who was introduced earlier. He is a young setter who is also a member of the Italian national team, and his charms include his skillful use of the center and his powerful jump serve, which is unimaginable from his baby face. How Milan will fare without Ishikawa will depend on his toss work.
Japanese players
#15 Tatsunobu Otsuka
Position: Outside hitter
Height: 195cm
Otsuka transferred to Milan in exchange for Ishikawa. He was a regular starter at Panasonic (now Osaka Bulleteon), where he played until last season, but at Milan, his first priority is to win the fierce competition for a starting spot. If he can win the trust of Coach Piazza and become a player who can help the team win, he will be able to make a big leap in the Japanese national team.
Monza
Official name: Vero Volley Monza
Hometown: Monza (Lombardy)
Home Arena:Opiquad Arena
Monza made great strides last season, finishing as runners-up in both the league and the Coppa Italia. Although OH Takahashi Ai, who was a key player in the team, has left the team, OH Juan Torena (Italy), OH Zaitsev (Italy), MB Avril (USA) and others have joined the team to rebuild it. OH Woo-jin (Korea), who accompanied the team as a trainee last season, has also been officially registered as a member this season and is expected to perform well.

#19 Taylor Avril
Position: Middle blocker
Height: 201cm
Nationality: American
He is a world-class blocker who contributed greatly to the United States winning the bronze medal at the Paris Olympics and was named the best middle blocker of the tournament. Not only is he highly skilled in all areas of spiking, serving, and blocking, but he also attracts fans with his cheerful personality. He is expected to play well and fill the gap left by MB Galassi, who supported Monza for many years.
Perugia
Official name: Sir Susa Vim Perugia
Hometown: Perugia (Umbria)
Home Arena:Pala Barton
A big club that reigns as one of the world's top clubs in terms of ability, popularity, and financial strength. Last season, they won the Italian League, Coppa Italia, Supercoppa, and World Club Championship, becoming the absolute champions and achieving the first quadruple crown in the club's history. This season, they will also be aiming to win the long-awaited European Champions League. Affectionately known as the "Block Devils," the team is supported by many of Italy's most passionate supporters, who come to cheer on the team not only at home games but also away games. President Sirci is also famous for his strong character.

#17 Oleh Plotnitsky
Position: Outside hitter
Height: 194cm
Nationality: Ukrainian
Southpaw outside hitter. He attracted attention after being named MVP at the U21 European Championships, and began playing in the Italian league the following year. His greatest appeal is his dynamic spikes and serves. Personally, I think Nishida Yuji would be like this if he were an outside hitter. He also serves as captain of the Ukrainian national team, and is a great leader.
Japanese players
#14 Yuki Ishikawa
Position: Outside hitter
Height: 192cm
Japan's best talent, no introduction needed. In his 10th season in the Italian league, he transferred from Milan, where he spent four seasons, to the champions Perugia. Both of the same outside hitters from last season's starters are still there, so his first priority is to win the battle for a starting spot. Therefore, he will likely play both positions 2 and 5 this season.
