Virtus Bologna, Luca Baraldi is already thinking about the Euroleague

Black Vu CEO already thinking about Euroleague

Virtus Bologna CEO Luca Baraldi, interviewed by ‘Il Resto del Carlino’, spoke about the expectations and goals of the Bologna team for the season, with a special focus on the Euroleague, a competition from which the Black Vu have been missing for 14 years.

“This year our goals are very clear: we want to reach the Euroleague playoffs. I have to say that since Segafredo’s name has been on the jersey of the Black V we have won almost everything both in Italy and in Europe, and one of the few trophies we are missing is the Italian Cup. I do not deny that this year we would like to bring it home. We face the championship with our usual spirit: we play one game at a time without making calculations and always trying to give our best to honor the commitment and our jersey. I think the Super Cup showed that the team is already very united.”

Last season, Virtus Bologna saw the confirmation of the Scudetto it won in 2021 slip away only in the playoff final, lost 4-2 to Olimpia Milano. The highlight of the Felsinians’ year, however, came on May 11, with the conquest of the Eurocup, won in the final against the Turkish Bursaspor. This success gave Scariolo’s men a pass for the 2022-23 Euroleague season, a competition in which the Bolognese have not participated for 14 years.
