This season, Monza's defense has proven to be one of the strong points of the team. With S. Birindelli and V. Antov as the cornerstones, the defensive line has shown remarkable solidity. The defensive schemes adopted by the coach have allowed the defenders to remain compact and anticipate the opponent's moves. The synergy between the two players is evident, as they manage to cover spaces and protect the goalkeeper's area, minimizing the opposition's scoring chances. This cohesion has translated into performances that have instilled confidence in the entire team.
