Olimpia Milano-Reyer Venezia: Neven Spahija knows what to expect

The words of Neven Spahija

Speaking at the microphones of the "Gazzettino Ed. Venezia", Reyer Venezia head coach Neven Spahija, among other topics discussed, dwelt on the upcoming challenge against Ettore Messina's Olimpia Milano, valid for the Italian Supercoppa semifinals. In addition, the Orogranata head coach bluntly analyzed the pre-season performed by his boys.

"We go forward step by step respecting the schedule. We know that we will face the best team in Italy, the defending champions, and we are aware that a very tough game awaits us. We have to continue with our idea to grow daily and go out and play it to the best of our ability.

" began the coach of the orogranata.

"The tournament in Lucca was undoubtedly a step forward from what I saw in Jesolo. The team played moreù complete and we solved many problems, forò we are still far from the Reyer I want to see" continued the head coach of the lagunari.

"The game against Napoli we lost it becauseé we failed to keep the focus in the decisive moments, in addition to a very bad shooting percentage, but this factor does not worry me. With Pistoia, on the other hand, we did better although the test should not be taken to draw conclusions. In general, the team took steps forward" added the Croatian coach.

"The only negative aspect of the two days in Lucca è not being able to rely on Aamir Simms, one of our starters who is still not well physically. In the whole preseason è he managed to get on the court only once and this penalized us" Neven Spahija commented.
