Olimpia Milano, Ettore Messina and asset Nico Mannion
11 points for Red Mamba in his first game in the red and white
Dream debut. Nico Mannion’s first in the Olimpia Milano jersey è was definitely positive. On the night of the Chacho Rodriguez celebration, the former Varese point guard played a game of great personality, finishing with 11 points (4/5 from the field). For the Forum audience è he has already become a true idol.
Very satisfied coach Ettore Messina who, thanks to the Red Mamba, finally has a play that can penetrate: "He played very well on both sides of the court. He and Dimitrijevic are different. Nenad è more perimeter while Nico often looks for penetration. It was not easy to do that with Real Madrid but è he was very good", the words of the red and white coach.
Ettore Messina himself then pointed out that the arrival of Nico Mannion is also good for Nenad Dimitrijevic himself. The two will fight for as much space on the court as possible but, at the same time, with the Red Mamba on the roster, the Macedonian point guard will have a department partner with whom to share responsibilities. In short, a healthy rivalryà.
Just one "tip" that is, don't put too many expectations on Nico Mannion who, after all, è just arrived and has no major experience at certain levels. Regardless, the first with Olimpia Milano è was a dream: "It's been a long process what brought me here but I'm happy". The Olimpia fans are also happy.
