Virtus Bologna, Luca Banchi frames GeVi Napoli’s strengths

Luca Banchi’s statements ahead of Virtus Bologna-GeVi Napoli

After the Euroleague loss against Fenerbahce, Virtus Bologna will try to redeem itself in the league. In fact, in the 18th day of Serie A, the Felsinei will face GeVi Napoli, which comes from four consecutive successes. On the eve of the match, the Vu nere head coach Luca Banchi, during the pre-game press conference, tried to identify the main strengths of the Campania team.

“On Sunday we will be visited by Napoli, fresh off four consecutive wins and capable so far of holding its own as the revelation team of the championship. The recent arrival of Markel Brown has brought additional incisiveness to one of the most prolific attacks in the competition and one that is able to exalt itself when it can exploit the dangerousness of its shooters and the versatility of its long players, both in the open court and in defense. It will be our task to decipher the rhythms of a competition that presents many pitfalls and to which we will have to respond with intensity, accuracy and discipline.” these are the words of Luca Banchi. 

On the eve of the two-ball, in addition to the head coach of the Felsinians, the coach of the Compana CosìIgor Milicic also wanted to bluntly analyze the challenge that awaits his boys: "We face a really tough task. Virtus Bologna è a team with incredible physicality that is having an excellent season both in the Euroleague and in the league. After hard weeks of work, we will go to Bologna to fight until the end. I want my guys to play with their heads held high with the mentality that they can compete from the first to the last second of the game. Surely in the last Euroleague games Virtus wasn&#39t brilliant, but it&#39s still a team full of leaders, and I am sure they won&#39t underestimate us. È a very tough competition, but I look forward to playing it".
