L'Olimpia è was eliminated in the semifinals by Virtus Bologna

An uphill start to the season for the new Olimpia Milano, which, at its first official appointment, did not è get ready, losing the Italian Supercoppa semifinal to Virtus Bologna. An unexpected setback.

Coach Messina, in the postgame, è was clear about what didn&#39t work: "We were sloppy in attack, not fluid enough, we put the ball in the hands of a few players too much, without creating advantages for ourselves", his clear words.

Of course, the national issue è at the center of many discussions: "We knew that the condition of some veterans from the World Cup was poor. It è was no accident that players as important to us as Melli and Voigtmann did not start in the quintet. It è was not an easy decision. Just as I did not play Maodo Lo, because he had not been well and I did not want to put him in trouble. Probably, if I went back, I would risk him", the Milanese coach&#quot;’s own comment. Now head to the regular season and the Euroleague to quickly forget the misstep in the Italian Supercup.
