More athletic and young team: many changes expected

During Media Day, Messina è dwelt on many aspects, including the new style of play his revamped team will have. Compared to the recent past, the roster è has been rejuvenated and, athletically, greatly improved. All this è has been done to have a'more ù "courageous".

"This è a team that canò and must run more. On offense, with longs who can run and plays who can push the ball well, we want to make a few more counterattacks" ", the clear words of the white-and-red coach, absolutely not worried about having to amalgamate a group with so many new faces: "Sometimes all it takes is just a click and everything then goes great".

Undoubtedly, the new Olimpia Milano intrigues a lot. Having lost pivotal players like Hines, Melli or Hall, a lot of players of great potential have arrived. Also very important is the return of LeDay who, according to Messina, "è improved a lot thanks to the two years spent under Obradovic".

After a full four years, Olimpia is conducting a normal retreat. There are no international commitments for the various national teams and, therefore, everyone is already available to coach Messina. Fans are looking forward to seeing her in action in the opener, next Sept. 21, against Reyer Venezia (match valid for the Italian Supercoppa semifinal). It will be a different Olimpia, in every sense.
