Jacopo Larizza in Milan

Coming in the week before the start of the 2024/2025 SuperLega Credem Banca season is the latest addition to Allianz Milano. Allianz Milano president Lucio Fusaro wanted to make a gift to the many fans of coach Roberto Piazza’s team. He is the central player from Marche, Jacopo Larizza, in his last season at Cucine Lube Civitanova, a team with which he had won the Scudetto and Coppa Italia in 2021.

A 204-centimeter, 26-year-old center, Larizza already has eight Serie A championships behind him, four in Superleague (three years at Lube and one in Taranto) and as many in A2 (Bergamo, Santa Croce and Potenza Picena). The Macerata center has participated in numerous national team collegials from the youth categories up to Fefè De Giorgi’s senior category.

Larizza completes a quartet of centerbacks that has few comparisons in Italy and Europe, namely captain Matteo Piano, Edoardo Caneschi, Jordan Schnitzer and precisely Jacopo Larizza. By virtue of the regulations, as Larizza was signed after the Volley Mercato closed, he will be able to be deployed from the fourth day of SuperLega Credem Banca, that is, from the always awaited external derby against Mint Vero Volley Monza.

Milan challenged: “Go to work”.

In spite of winning the Italian Super Cup, it certainly cannot be considered positive Milan’s year.

The Rossoneri fans, disappointed with the’progress of the season, staged a hard protest at the Meazza match with Monza that closed the championship of the two Lombardy teams.

No banners displayed and choruses leaving little room for the’imagination: “To work, go to work”, “Are you leaving or not?” and “Yankee go home” among them. Hailed Paolo Maldini with an ad hoc chorus. After the vigorous protest, the Milan fans blatantly abandoned their seats in the stands, leaving a vast and visible hole in the heart of the Curva Sud.

Very few biancorossi fans also showed up for the ’appointment at the ‘Scala del Calcio’: Alessandro Nesta&#8217s team, long since relegated to Serie B, will play in well other stages next season, most likely with another coach on the bench.
