Marco Belinelli issues challenge to Europe

After 15 years Virtus Bologna returns to the Euroleague and this starting point also brings a touch of excitement for Marco Belinelli, interviewed in front of the microphones of the “Gazzetta dello Sport”: “It was my and Virtus’ goal when I signed the contract and now I have a lot of curiosity. I can’t wait to compare myself with these teams and these champions. As a TV viewer, it is a high-level tournament, not surprisingly it has been a stepping stone to the U.S. championship for some basketball players. In fact, even some have preferred it to the NBA! Surely games like this, especially in front of our audience, will light a fire inside.”

The Italian basketball player then went on to comment on the buying campaign of the team in which he plays: “We have made important signings, which add experience to the roster, the experience that last year’s guys already gained. It’s up to us to work as we have done for the past month and grow as a team, starting with the Super Cup against Olimpia.”
