Luca Banchi wants a combative Virtus

The words of Luca Banchi

Coach Luca Banchi spoke in a press conference on the eve of Partizan-Virtus Bologna, the last day of the EuroLeague first leg: "We close the first leg with a certainly challenging game in a unique environmental context. Partizan is going through an excellent moment of form, confirmed by 5 successes in the last 6 EuroLeague games and only one defeat on the home court".

"Thereò confirms the fact that it will be decisive to be able to play a game of great combativeness" and consistency in order to confirm our current ranking position, consolidating ambitions and team values, as never under stress, against opponents of such caliber" added the coach of the bianconeri.

Toko Shengelia spoke this way ahead of the challenge against the Serbs: "We know that very important and very difficult matches are coming. Partizan plays very good basketball and is experiencing great form. We also know how strong they are when they play at home and that when you play on that court, if we are not 100 percent, it can be a long night for us. Every possession è important, both defensively and offensively, we will go there; very focused to try to win the game and finish the first half of the regular season in the best possible way".
