The red and white doubling comes to the 32nd with Dany Mota Carvalho, always with the head, on an assist from Barberis.

In the pre-match the sporting director of Monza, Filippo Antonelli, spoke to the microphones of Sportitalia: “We are completing the team in all departments, many new players are arriving and surely someone else will arrive, not only in attack. Caprari? the details are in place and we can formalize afterwards. He is certainly an important player. The players we are dealing with are players that interest us and we want to bring them to Monza as soon as possible. Our goal has always been to have two strong players per position, even in Serie A We will do this. The choice is always up to the coach, Di Gregorio and Cragno are top-level goalkeepers. We have redeemed Di Gregorio and he is absolutely not on the market, certainly together with Cragno and Sorrentino he can do even better. “

The next friendly match of Monza is scheduled, again in Monzello, on Monday 25 July at 5.30 pm against Andrea Dossena’s Renate.
