Olimpia Milano, patience over: there is only one way

The failure to win the Italian Cup has complicated Coach Messina’s plans

.

Losing the Italian Cup final è was a real blow to Olimpia, which was keen to take home a trophy before the final rush. With the Euroleague playoffs hanging by a thread, Coach Messina’s team now has only one way left to salvage a decidedly struggling season, and that is to win the title of Italian Champions. The only way not to reckon with total failure.

"Unfortunately, è the leitmotif of the whole season. As soon as we take steps forward, then we go back and this time è it happened after two good games, so it è a step backwards that burns so much", the words of coach Messina himself in the post match of the Italian Cup final lost to Napoli. Fans, via social media, made their disappointment heard, highlighting the limits of a team that never finds the right continuityà of results.

In addition to Coach Messina, pointed by some as the real culprit in this crisis, many point the finger at Napier. Returned to change the face of the team, the point guard is struggling tremendously in this his second adventure with the Olimpia Milano jersey. Fabulous last year, struggling this season. As said, everyone expects at least the Scudetto but it will certainly not be a walk in the park.
