Transfers definitely "hot" for Coach Messina’s team

Accomplice to the home victory with Efes, Olimpia è returned to breathing. However, in the Euroleague the situation è still very deficient. At the moment, the Red and White are 15° in the standings with three games won and as many as six lost. Above all, no external success.

To get back in the running for a playoff spot, a change in gear is needed, and it must be done now. L'AX è expected, in the next five Euroleague challenges, from as many as four away games, all very "hot". The Red and White will take on, away from the Forum, Red Star, Partizan, the Munich Germans and Barcelona. The only home game is on November 30 with Zalgiris.

Coach Messina knows perfectly well that, to get back on track, heavy victories on the road are needed. In recent outings, Olimpia è seemed more team-like and, above all, less clumsy defensively and offensively. The new point guard is still missing but, at least, the team has shown important signs of life. Now the litmus test in this string of away games.
