Olimpia Milano, for Ettore Messina it’s getting tougher

The words of Ettore Messina

Olimpia Milano fought back but it was not enough against Fenerbahce, victorious at the Forum to the disappointment of Ettore Messina. “The season right now in the Euroleague is compromised.”

“Thanks to the public that supported us in every moment,” added the coach of the meneghini. “We had too many lost balls. I think the reaction was there but the third quarter decided the game. Pangos? We will see on Friday the extent of the injury. Some people have to do something more. We have too many players out, too many shooters….”

Among the players confirmed by Olimpia Milano over the summer are Paul Biligha and Gigi Datome. The latter, born in 1987, returned to Italy in the summer of 2020 to don the red and white jersey after ending a fruitful experience in Turkey, at Fenerbahce. Previously, the Montebelluna native small forward had walked the parquet floors of the NBA, wearing the colors of the Detroit Pistons and Boston Celtics. Mens Sana Siena, Scafati Basket and Virtus Roma were Datome’s other Italian teams.
