Olimpia, clear game plan for Messina ahead of Bayern

Olimpia Milano, Messina confident: “We’ll need defensive intensity and rebound control”

After the victory against Fenerbahce, Olimpia Milano is looking forward to the meeting with Bayern Munich, scheduled for Friday, March 24, at the Mediolanum Forum. On the eve of the match, coach Ettore Messina spoke at the customary pre-match press conference and shed light on what will be the deciding aspects of the match.

“We come from a very positive performance in Istanbul, which confirmed the growth and improvements of recent weeks. Now we will try to take another step toward the playoffs, in front of our fans. We will face a very physical, tough and deep team that can count on very experienced players,” said the coach of the Red Shoes.

“We will have to be good at moving the ball and have the patience to find the right shot. We will need a high level of defensive intensity and above all maximum attention to rebounding because Bayern is one of the best teams in the Euroleague in capturing offensive rebounds. They can count on great specialists such as for example Gillespie,” concluded Messina about the game plan to be set.
