Virtus Bologna in trouble: too many minutes to key players

The Black Vs have a horrible record in the Euroleague

.

Compounded by a loss to Olimpia Milano in the Italian derby of the Euroleague, the V Nere are last in the standings and, more importantly, with only one win after seven days. There are many problems for Luca Banchi, especially the over-extended minutes of his key men, especially Toko Shengelia who, even against EA7, played a lot (33'in total).

"At this level you compare yourself with the best talent in Europe, in a type of basketball that absorbs a lot of energy. We struggle to guarantee rest minutes to key players as it should normally be and not in an emergency situation like this", the confirmation of Luca Banchi himself.

Indeed, Virtus Bologna has a rather crowded infirmary. Besides the long-suffering Devontae Cacok, Alessandro Pajola and Daniel Hackett were also absent against Olimpia. In addition, several players are not at the top, such as Ante Ziziz, recovered in extremis for the challenge played on Olimpia's court but still in physical distress.

Despite the many difficulties, the Vere Nere coach reiterates his thoughts, which è also those of the team: "We have a great desire to turn things around". To do so, we would need a deeper roster and, probably, help from the market. How the company will want to move in the coming weeks remains to be seen.
