Sandro Gamba warns Olimpia Milano ahead of Virtus Bologna

Sandro Gamba spoke for Repubblica-Milano ahead of the start of Olimpia Milano’s Scudetto semifinal. “I liked the last two games with Trento. But now for Armani there is Virtus, which is the most difficult obstacle. Because you compare history”.

“Milan has more titles but Bologna equally has a glorious past, it is a city that lives for basketball, I go so far as to say even more than for soccer even though this year came the conquest of the Italian Cup in ball and there was enthusiasm”.

“What will Milan have to do? Play with the defense seen against Trent, even better. You can see that it is a team coached on defense, and that is a value. Coaching defense is sacrifice, it is boring, hard to teach”.

“Messina knows how to do it well: because he knows about technique, tactics and the relationship with the players. You have to win a game immediately tonight or Monday at the latest, the field factor has to be overturned. If not, then everything becomes more complicated”.
