On Tuesday 29 December, at 8.00 pm, the blue and whites will take to the field at the Allianz Cloud to face Olimpia Milano, a highly prestigious opponent who represents a significant test for coach Brotto’s team.
Current situation of the teams

Milan statistics
Olimpia Milano, under the guidance of the coach Giuseppe Poethas demonstrated impressive solidity. Of the eight victories obtained, four were won at home and as many away, highlighting a certain versatility. However, the team also suffered some defeats, two of which were at home, proving that it is possible to find some vulnerability even in high-level training.
Vanoli’s strategies
Coach Brotto is aware of the difficulty of facing an opponent like Olimpia Milano and has asked its players to show a strong and cohesive identity. The team must find the right intensity and aggressiveness, avoiding passively suffering the opponent’s play. “We have to be more ferocious and determined from the start of the match,” said Brotto, underlining the importance of a good mental approach.
Face difficulties

However, the coach confirmed that the group is finally complete and ready to fight. The team needs to recover not only physical fitness, but also mental fitness, in order to compete at a high level.
The historic challenges between the two teams

Vanoli’s only victory in Milan dates back to 2013, a goal that the blue and white hope to replicate on this occasion. Vanoli’s last success occurred in the championship in 2019, making this match an important opportunity to reverse the trend.
