Olimpia, Ettore Messina reunites with national team and targets Virtus

Incoming Azzurri Tonut, Ricci and Melli, as well as Voigtmann and Lo

The new season è is now just around the corner. Over the weekend è the Italian Supercup is scheduled, with the new four-team formula. Olimpia Milano will make its debut, Saturday, Sept. 23, at 6 p.m. against Virtus Bologna of new coach Banchi (who just arrived to replace the exonerated Scariolo).

With the pre-season over (with definitely comforting results), coach Messina is about to re-embrace the national teams that participated in the World Cup. Incoming Azzurri are Tonut, Ricci and Melli, as well as the new World Champions, namely German nationals Voigtmann and Lo.

Coach Messina will have to make wise choices for the Italian Super Cup. With Flaccadori and Baron in the box, to figure out who will be the second point guard besides Pangos (immediate call for Lo or adaptation of Hall as happened several times during last season?). Only six foreigners are summonable. Someone will have to stay at home. Having a decidedly deep roster, è it is clear that coach Messina will certainly have a way to find the most suitable solutions, while waiting to have everyone available and in top physical condition.
