Flavio Portaluppi now promotes the new Olimpia

The words of Flavio Portaluppi

Flavio Portaluppi spoke to QS about Olimpia Milano: "Making a judgment from the outside is è never easy. In the last two seasons the start è has always been in slow motion, balances had to be sought and this has affected the season. We have seen relapses, like in the Italian Cup final, but like last year in the second half of the season the performance è been more continuous. It’ s as if there is always a need’ for settling down to find the right balance, and this is ill-suited in an all-and-now basketball’’.

"Scudetto? And here, with Virtus a bit’ struggling, the sky seems more’ serene. Despite the results of Brescia and Venice, if I have to make a prediction I say Olimpia Milano. And the third consecutive Scudetto would not seem to me a throw-away result…"

Chiiosa on Mirotic and Melli: "Looking at the timing of the signing of Mirotic I can believe that it was an’opportunityà of the moment. To which it was impossible to say no. It’è took some’ time to find the balance, also working on a super high quintet. Mirotic è one of the most effective players, but not è that Melli is a nobody. So right to try every avenue for them to play together. Now it seems to me that a balance" has been found.
