Virtus Bologna, Luca Banchi keeps attention high
The words of Luca Banchi in the press conference on the eve of Virtus Bologna-Alba Berlin
Coach Luca Banchi presented in a press conference the challenge against Alba Berlin, the third day of the Euroleague, scheduled for Wednesday at 8:30 p.m.: "The team from an emotional point of view takes energy from the victories, like any team, from the good performance in Munich and from the decent continuityà expressed in the treacherous away game in Trento. We prepare for this round of competitions from an emotional standpoint in the ideal condition to do so. The defeat with Kaunas leaves us with that bitterness that I would like us to turn into determination to try to raise even more the level of our game".
The Bianconeri coach keeps the focus high: "This è the Euroleague, as exalted as it gets in European basketball, you have to be very careful because there are no teams that give you room for error. An obvious example of this is Berlin, whose characteristics are very specific and therefore it would be a mistake to think that it is a less complex game than Munich and Kaunas have been, è it is simply different but it hides its complexity ".
"Achille è not yet available and this limits our possibilities, it always pushes us to manage this emergency that becomes even more evident playing three games in such a narrow time frame – he added. The team from the mental point of view comes to us with a good mood, from the technical point of view it has to make up for an emergency and it brings with it this little blemish of how we were not able to capitalize on the advantages accumulated against Kaunas, which maybe è something possible at such an early moment of the season, but the Euroleague does not give" margin".
"We arrive with the load of motivation and determination that allows us to play one game at a time, but always with a consistent willà to impose our basketball. This è a team that moreù than others è strongly characterized by its own style, now for years, with talented players who play at a very high pace, with a type of basketball different from the conventional" concluded Banchi.
