Ettore Messina and the'bitterness over Olimpia Milano's last victory

Olimpia Milano victorious over Baskonia, but in the’last Euroleague game of the season. Despite the 111-89 scoreline, in fact, the meneghini are exited from the competition and the replacements are not lacking. This was emphasized after the game by Ettore Messina, who, however, wanted to focus on the good news of the evening.

“We finished this difficult Euroleague season in the best possible way – said Messina -For this very reason we are happy for the fans and for the ownership, since our test was good. And I am also happy for the team and the players, who kept a good level for the’whole game”.

“Too bad, because a year ago 17 wins proved to be enough to make the play-in. If I then have to do the math we missed the Berlin game and the one with Zalgiris– continued Messina – But now we look to the future. This year we have also had good games, and tonight everyone participated in our victory”.

Not without a note, however. “Surely it is easier for someone to play when the ball weighs less. Unfortunately, however, this is Olimpia Milano, and you have to make a difference even when the ball weighs so much. We in particular threw away those two games, and those are serious mistakes. We have improved since then, but mistakes happen. And we will continue to talk about it”, assured Messina.
