Virtus Bologna, Sergio Scariolo pampers Nico Mannion

The words of Sergio Scariolo

Sergio Scariolo enjoys the win over Reyer: “Very satisfied with the game and how the team was on the court after a very tough week, 5 games in 10 days, with several players not at their best to put it mildly. Very good approach, we knew that here at home Reyer usually starts very strong: we were focused, we put the game in the right direction and repelled the attempts of a Reyer that never gave up. We still managed to keep it at a safe distance all the time.”

“Different plays during the game? Mannion was consistent and inspired, he did well, didn’t force and contributed defensively. Beyond him others were also key players: at some junctures we played well on defense changes on Beli but we still have to do it better, we had very good moments from Milos but in general from everyone. Daniel played and gritted his teeth only because Pajola got hurt. Mam was intense, some possessions could have been more decisive but he had a good game.”
