Trento, Paolo Galbiati praises Messina but warns Olimpia Milano

Paolo Galbiati introduced Dolomiti Energia Trentino–Olimpia Milano, game 1 of the LBA playoffs, scheduled for Saturday night, at a press conference. “It will be a good series, an important stimulus and a great challenge– he began -We have earned the right to play the first two games at home and we hope that the arena will be warm and that the public will be vocal”.

“Any opponent in the playoffs would be difficult to face, but Milan is clearly a top-tier team – stressed the coach of the bianconeri -: it has recovered key pawns, is unpredictable in depth and talent, has enormous experience and is led by the most important coach in our league, one of the greatest in the history of Italian basketball”.

“I am aware of the work this team has done: they have worked hard, seriously, but above all with a great human component. It reminds me a lot of a historical group for me, the Under 17 of ’96/’97 that I coached in Milan and to whom I owe so much in my coaching career. With them I could ask anything: they would throw themselves under the Milan subway for each other”

“What fascinates me about this group is that they celebrate each other, there is no envy, only enthusiasm for each other’s successes. My dream is for this journey to continue: this team gives me a lot of confidence and reminds me of the Aquila of the EuroCup semifinals and the Scudetto finals hoping it will do even better because Toto deserves it” concluded Galbiati.
