Virtus Bologna, Marco Belinelli aims high again

The NBA Champion has no intention of quitting

Thirty-eight years old but a young boy’s desire to play. Belinelli is looking forward to the many challenges that await his Virtus Bologna team. As captain of the Vere Nere he feels even more empowered. The goals are important, simply becauseè Belinelli, NBA Champion with the San Antonio Spurs, always plays to win.

The defeat, in the Italian Supercoppa final, against Olimpia Milano è already forgotten: "The Supercoppa è important but è right to give it the real dimension: an early season tournament. There'è still a long way to go", his words at the opening of a basketball court in Milan reported by Tuttosport.

Beli has clear ideas on what the goals should be for the season that has just begun: "In the Euroleague it would be nice to be able to play the play-offs while in the league, of course, we leave to try to win, knowing that it will be" a tough fight", his clear words that also taste of a challenge to the battleship Milan.

Virtus Bologna will makeà its league debut on Saturday 28 on the court of Trapani. In the Euroleague, on the other hand, Coach Banchi’s team will begin within its own walls. On Friday, Oct. 4, the Virtus Bologna-Anadolu Efes challenge is scheduled, valid for the first day of the regular season of the top European tournament.
