L'Olimpia collapses, Messina: "We è have nothing left"

Olimpia Milano coach Ettore Messina bitterly commented on the crushing defeat suffered by his team in Trento on the sixth day of the Serie A basketball championship: the hosts won 91-57 in a game totally dominated against a team decimated by injuries.

"We were coming from a very difficult week and the players who had helped us hold up in Vitoria and win the game with Virtus today had nothing in the tank. We had started well but when they upped the pace, the physicalityà we had nothing to oppose them".

"There were things we tried, I was hoping for something different, but without lucidityà and without legs we couldn’t do anything, for example we missed a lot of supports to the iron, shots that we normally don’t miss.

The team paid the price of the many injuries: "Unfortunately, with the team so short, our most important players had nothing to give. Kudos to Trento. We can only close the page of this very hard week and open a new one”.
