Ettore Messina looks beyond defeat at the buzzer by'Olimpia Milano

Ettore Messina spoke about the defeat at the buzzer suffered in game 2 of the quarterfinals by his Olimpia Milan: “Trento won only at the last shot, at the buzzer, but they played a very good game, they won with merit. We also had merits by coming back and gaining a chance to win it but we didn’t succeed. We go back to Milan 1-1 which was the minimum goal”.

“I think in the second half the team attacked a little better, controlled defensive rebounds more, which we had not done well in the first half. There were moments of frenzy and moments of calm, we will have to extend the minutes when we move the ball quickly and maybe finish better at the iron”.

“Flaccadori’s performance is very important. It is not an issue of changing hierarchies. This will give peace of mind to Mannion who needs to regain confidence.”
