Virtus Bologna, Marco Belinelli praises new coach

Third career Italian Super Cup for 37-year-old Beli

At 37, Belinelli still feels he can make a difference on the court. Winning the Italian Super Cup (the third of his career) has, further, gassed him. He feels that this new Virtus Bologna, with coach Banchi on the bench, è destined to do great things.

The Scariolo è era is already behind him, as are all the rumors of a less than idyllic relationship with the NBA Champion and Spanish national team coach. Now, on the bench, there'è Banchi and the relationship between the two is going swimmingly, so much so that the 37-year-old Belinelli has spoken honeyed words for his new coach.

"Banchi has already conveyed so much on and off the court. We had 10 peculiar days, but we were united. I see the fire in our eyes", his words reported by Gazzetta dello Sport. In short, Beli è charged like a spring and so is the rest of the team. There's a strong desire not to stop at the first trophy of the season but to try to do something great during the rest of the season as well, both in the league and in the Euroleague (not forgetting the Italian Cup).
