Cesare Pancotto spoke on the eve of the match with Virtus Bologna, valid for the 25th day of the championship. Two-way ball Saturday at 8 p.m. at the Segafredo Arena.

“We are preparing to face the first in the class : respect and motivation,” Pancotto began. “The difficulties we will find on the court are obvious and inevitable, and as such must be faced. Scariolo is a top coach. The organizational structure is Euroleague. The roster boasts many players each talented in every role. They play high-level basketball, effective and solid in every area, protagonists who can create advantages, and hit you in every role. Aware of this we will have to give answers both with individuals, and as a team, in every part of the court, however using our system is correcting in the course of the game, any mistakes. We cannot and must leave no stone unturned, showing that we are alive by fighting on every ball.”
