Olimpia Milano knocked out, Ettore Messina finds three reasons and asks for patience

After a painful knockout, the 'appeal è not to lose your temper.

Olimpia Milano defeated in the Euroleague, with Olympiacos collecting against the meneghini a round 89-68 in Athens. Extremely severe score for the Red Shoes, with Ettore Messina trying to analyze the team’s momentum and the causes of such a negative result after the game.

"In these first games of the season we è happened to play schizophrenic games, and today there was one – Messina commented -. We alternated good moments with bad ones, but the latter were the key to the game for Olimpia Milano. I can think of three".

So Messina listed them: "First, at the end of the first quarter, we lost the lead we had gained after a complicated start to the game. Then, in the second, we had brought ourselves back to -2 and we thwarted everything with childish mistakes both on offense and defense. Finally, in the third period, we again managed to get back to -4 after four excellent minutes. Forò in just two, we fell again".

" These are situations that are repeating themselves, on the road è the second time something like this has happened. We need to control the pace of the game better and be patient. Sometimes, instead of forcing the play, è it is better to get to the third or fourth offensive option. We need the players to help each other, but we will continue to work on the basis of what we saw today. And from this defeat we will learn something", added Messina.
