Olimpia Milano in final, Ettore Messina remembers Giorgio Armani

Ettore Messina spoke after the Super Cup semifinal victory: “A very hard-fought game, which could have gone one way or the other, decided by small things”.

“We struggled defensively in the first half, we still have someone behind in condition, but we found other resources. Leandro from 12 rebounds, Booker grew during the game, We tore it up with our teeth, with a nice basket by Ellis, earlier some defensive mistakes that could have cost us the game.”

The coach of Olimpia Milano is already thinking about Brescia: “Now there is little time to recover, let’s try to do the best we can against a team that is following what it did last year. Today it came back from -15.”

Inevitable question about Giorgio Armani: “It has been a week that has not been easy for the family and for us. A loving presence, who never skimped. We knew he was there, he greeted us, you got a message now and then. The minute of mourning was extremely touching.”
