Reggio Emilia-Olimpia Milano: Dimitris Priftis promises battle

After the home loss to Cibona in the Fiba Europe Cup, UNA Hotels Reggio Emilia is preparing to return to the court against Olimpia Milano, in the match valid for the fifth day of the LBA regular season. Two-way ball Sunday, Nov. 2, at 6 p.m. at PalaBigi.

Coach Dimitris Priftis presented the challenge with EA7 in a press conference: “Milan is a very strong team, the best in the league when it comes to tactical organization and reading the moments of the game. We will not have Cheatham, struggling with an Achilles tendon problem, just as we will not have him on Tuesday against Dijon”.

“We will have to be good at making up for the lack of a player who usually plays so many minutes, making adjustments especially in the offensive half of the court – added the Greek coach. “We want to be competitive and, to be so, it will be important to show the battling version of ourselves seen in the second half against Cibona”.

“The shortcomings highlighted, as mentioned in last Wednesday’s postgame, are mainly due to fatigue and little opportunity to train as we would like, due to the busy schedule” concluded the coach of Pallacanestro Reggiana.
