Nikola Mirotic aims high with new Olimpia Milano

The words of Nikola Mirotic

Nikola Mirotic can't wait to get back to serious business with Olimpia Milano: "First of all, è it&#39s great to be back, to be together with the team again and to get to know the new players that have been signed and I can't wait to start this season, especially after winning the Scudetto. I think this is a great security. That victory set the right tone for this group from the’beginning. We need to set ourselves more important goals than we did last year, and I really hope we can do much better than last year’

.

"Without a doubt we have much more physicality this year than last year. We signed Josh Nebo, David McCormack at the five position, then Diop, Brooks, Bolmaro, Neno, all the more physical guys, even at the point guard position. I think we have a lot more physicality. So, first of all, we will be better in defense, rebounding and also in transition. Nice to talk about it, but now it has to be demonstrated on the court, which è the goal. So far we have played some friendly games, we won them, but we need more time to train. The team right now looks very good, very enthusiastic, very hungry to do great things”.

"I have to be much more incisive. I have to talk moreù with the kids. Not only that, I have to be an example with my work on the field, but also off the field. With the jersey, I know which team I represent. I know what the expectations are of me. As I said, I am not happy. I am not happy with the work I did last year. So I will try to do much better, as a leader, and help this team achieve those goals that we all believe we can achieve. Thatè my approach this year and I’ll work hard with my team to achieve it&quot, concluded the Montenegrin.
