Virtus Bologna, Luca Banchi gets unbalanced
During an interview with the microphones of the "Corriere della Sera", Virtus Bologna head coach, among other topics, dwelt on his feelings about the upcoming start of the season and the favorites for the final victory.
"I think that again this year we and Olimpia Milano start a step above, then forò we will have to measure ourselves with reality, which explains that there are other companies; competitive. I do not see a downsized group, but differently structured. We are looking for diamonds in the rough to be reshaped, because there are no more leading men like Teodosic, but the è system is solid. We technicians must always moreù bring results and judgments change quickly" began the head coach of the felsinei.
"I am in a happy moment from the professional point of view, forò I remain detached and realistic. I è liked the boys'approach in the Super Cup, because they showed a lot of desire to win. Now we return to the everyday, knowing our value. We coaches always live on a roller coaster, and I have learned to live in balance. The experiences abroad were formative. Today I am a European coach, not Italian" continued the'former coach of Olimpia Milano.
"I was optimistic after two years with 15 wins in 16 games. Then injuries deadened the enthusiasm, but the team replicated its quality in spite of major absences. As for Pozzecco's Italy, the presence of several loose cannons may pay off, forò there remain shortages of kilos and centimeters and sooner or later it will be necessary to find a solution to the problem" added the Latvia coach about Italbasket.
In conclusion Luca Banchi è expressed himself on the valorization of Italians: "It is not always true that Italians are valued only abroad. There are examples to the contrary, see Spanish who from Real Madrid goes to Cremona and then to Trento matures. It's necessary to reason according to what it takes to achieve the goals. It would be nice to see Bologna and Milan dragged by young Italians, but è a path in stages".
