Attilio Caja bluntly on Nicolo Melli

“Work culture makes a difference.”

Protagonist of a Eurobasket 2022 with flying colors – Olimpia’s captain did not disfigure at all in the presence of absolute stars such as Nikola Jovic and Rudy Gobert – Nicolò Melli is ready to dive back into the daily grind of his club team. Not before, however, collecting the compliments of an old fox of the bench like Attilio Caja, the now former coach of Pallacanestro Reggiana, as well as of Milan itself, who still hasn’t found an accommodation after his brilliant year with the Emilian club.

“Nicolò is an extraordinary player. A true defensive pillar who can stop even real giants and who, on offense, is able to put them in trouble with his double inside and outside dimensions. People like him and Datome have a culture of work and daily effort. And that makes the difference,” the coach told the microphones of ‘Il Resto del Carlino’.
