Olimpia Milano, Ettore Messina no-nonsense about the Scudetto

Olimpia Milano ready for playoffs, first round with Pesaro

Just hours before the start of the LBA playoffs, Olimpia Milano’s head coach spoke to the microphones of “Corriere dello Sport” about his ambitions ahead of the post season. “Winning the Scudetto doesn’t have to be a duty, but the guys would deserve to finish the season in the best possible way after what they have gone through in these months. There are so many other teams that deserve and have the same chances as us to win. We will have to take the field with the right attitude, without feeling victory is already in the bag.”

“First place in the regular season was a great satisfaction, because it allowed us to have the field factor against everyone. One more match at home in the playoffs can definitely be useful for us. At the same time I know that to achieve this result we had to change and adapt continuously to various situations, and for this reason I want to thank the players for the willingness and maturity shown,” added Ettore Messina.
