Arturs Strautins issues challenge to Virtus Bologna

Arturs Strautins throws down the gauntlet

Arturs Strautins issues a challenge to Virtus Bologna. And he does so through the Gazzetta di Reggio. “It’s a Euroleague team, it has a lot of great champions, we know that beating them will be very difficult but it’s also a great stimulus to be able to face them. We certainly won’t lack the desire to win and do our best, on the contrary,” he said.

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 Turkey’s Bursaspor. This success gave Scariolo’s men a pass for the 2022-23 Euroleague season, a competition the Bolognese had not participated in for 14 years.
