Ettore Messina enjoys the triumph against Virtus Bologna

The words of Ettore Messina

Ettore Messina enjoys the victory in the Super Cup final: “We are very happy, becauseé the Super Cup when you lose it hurts a little bit and when you win it gives you a boost of confidence to continue working together. A very nice victory, because at the beginning there’s been a little bit of emotion and insecurity of some new players and they with talent hurt us a lot".

"Clyburn è was fantastic, but so were the others. That’s why there is great value in not disuniting, then in the end winning away against a team of this level gives us great confidence. Easy to say that the three most expected new players we played with great personality, Tonut crazy defense, LeDay struggled but è was decisive. Then è success on this court where I am very fond of, with many good moments. I am happy. Now we reset everything”.

Filling in on Dimitrijevic as a leader: “I think the two years in Kazan, receiving the trust of Perasovic, helped him a lot. Then he had a child, it is those things that mature you. The award they gave him shows that he has done good things, but in my opinion he can do even better. When he gets clear on how to use his teammates, he can grow even more. We when we got Leandro and him, I talked to both of them and told them that the characteristics were complementary, so our goal è to create a Rodriguez-Delaney type couple. With desire to win and ability è to play together. A day that makes us look forward to the future”.
